What I look after.
Whether you’re home or away. If it needs someone physically at your house, your marina berth, the shops or the venue, it’s mine to do. Errands and appointments while you’re here, the house looked after while you’re not, and the events in between.
Most households keep me on a monthly retainer: a set number of hours, a signed key and access agreement, and one person who knows the house. Ad hoc help is available for a single day or a single job, with a two hour minimum. Empty home care runs weekly or twice weekly while you’re away. I work (and live) exclusively in Sanctuary Cove, and I currently have room for one or two more households. Enquire about an opening

From a dinner for six to a fiftieth for sixty. Caterer, florist, hire and staff coordinated, the run sheet written, the table set, last minute essentials collected, and the next day pack down and cleaners arranged. Events are the part of this job I love most, so bring me the big ones.

Grooming and vet runs, food collected, sitters and walkers coordinated. Visiting relatives booked, activities arranged, everyone’s plans kept straight.
-
If it needs someone organised, discreet and local, ask. A week of school runs while the nanny is away, a relative’s house checked, a car serviced, a move managed. Tell me what’s on your plate and I’ll tell you honestly whether it’s mine to take. Enquire here
