How to Use a Personal Assistant … Part 2!

What Does a Personal Assistant Do?

In our previous blog, I was sharing the number of ways that we are called upon to help busy Bucks County families and businesses with our Personal Assistant services. I’m sharing more with you today because the #1 request we get is for more information on WHAT it is that we DO to HELP our clients.

In a nutshell, we take on the tasks or To-Do’s that you don’t want to do or don’t have time to do. This frees you up to invest your time and focus on the things that are most important to you. ?

In “How to Use a Personal Assistant… Part 1” we talked about:

1. Vehicle Services

2. Errand Services

3. Grocery Shopping

4. Senior Services

5. Personal Shopping

6. Absentee Home Checks

7. Getting Organized

Today I want to continue telling you about the many ways in which our clients use our Personal Assistant and Errand Services. If you don’t see your needs on this list, give us a call to chat about it. ?

More Ways We Can Help You

8. Paper Management

Many of our seniors lose the ability to maintain their bills and find themselves being overcharged on accounts and falling victim to financial fraud. We are able to assist them with monthly bills and paperwork that many find confusing and difficult to monitor. This is an invaluable service that our families find extremely helpful.

Some of our clients are just tortured by paper and the monthly responsibility of bill paying. Some have never needed nor learned these skills before because someone else in the relationship was in control of this part of their lives. We successfully help those individuals learn the skills necessary to securely monitor and maintain their own bills and priority paperwork.

“I was feeling overwhelmed by paperwork and bills. Task Complete really helped me straighten up and get organized by creating a file system for me and clearing up the clutter. I plan on continuing to use them to help me move along with my life.”

~ M.M. (New Hope)

9. Pet Sitting Services

Whether you are going out of town for just a day trip or an entire week, we keep your warm-blooded and even cold-blooded family members well cared for. From kitties to dogs, to guinea pigs, hermit crabs, fish and full koi ponds, we’ll be there when you can’t be. Not only do we look in on them, we gladly share text messages and photos at your request, so you know they are safe and in loving hands.

“Kelly has provided several services to our family over the past year. Her attention to detail, professionalism and reliability gives me great confidence in trusting her with our tasks and our home. Her energy and personality make her so easy to work with and she truly understands customer service. I highly recommend Task Complete.”

~ A.F. (Newtown, PA)

10. Home Management & Handyman Services

Our Home Management services cover everything else you may need assistance with. From scheduling appointments and arranging services and resources, we take care of all the small stuff that can clog your day and rob you of valuable time. Allow your personal assistant to coordinate and oversee those arrangements and phone calls for you.

No matter the size of the project, we can help you manage it all. And with the help of our Team Handyman, we can tackle some of those smaller projects quickly and efficiently.

“After living in our home for six months it felt like we just moved in. That was before I started working with Task Complete. Before working with Task Complete, I would spend hours looking up contractors, getting recommendations, calling people, waiting for responses and taking time off work to deal with people who I could never count on showing up. Now that I am getting help with Task Complete, getting work done on our house is as simple as writing an email to Task Complete, agreeing to an estimate (usually by a quick text message) and then coming home to a completed job.”

11. Holiday Help

The extra stress of the holidays can play havoc on our ability to truly enjoy the magic of the season. During this time of year, the Task Complete Elves are ready and able to ease the added stress for local families and businesses.

The holiday season should be an opportunity to relax and spend time with friends and family. Our team of elves is expertly trained to take the worry out of your holidays by offering assistance with:

• Holiday shopping & gift ideas
• Home organization (before the family arrives!)
• Gift wrapping
• Business & Corporate gift assistance
• Decorating & Undecorating your home or office
• Party planning & prep
• Addressing holiday cards

“You have such a great business model and one of the reasons I love what you do is that you all back each other up amazingly and I never have to worry about my tasks getting completed! If not for Task Complete, my Christmas decorations would not have gone up until December 24th and would not have come down until Easter. (Seriously, this has happened in the past!) The team is a dream-come-true. Our personal concierge’s ninja-warrior shopping and wrapping prowess was as indispensable as her can-do approach and cheerful personality! She really did an amazing job – kids loved everything and though there were some unavoidable returns, she handled that so quickly and without me having to worry about anything. To say my holiday season was simply “less stressful” would be an extreme understatement.”

~ T.W. (New Hope, PA)

“I hired Task Complete to help me decorate and wrap presents, and what a difference it made for my enjoyment of the holidays! My tree was decorated in what seemed like a matter of minutes and it looks like a professional decorator did it! The stockings were hung, the rest of the decorations were put ‘round the house, and my presents were neatly wrapped, all while I relaxed and had interesting conversations. I am truly enjoying the entire Christmas season this year because I had help this year and didn’t do it all on my own. I am so grateful to Kelly and the team at Task Complete for allowing me to stress less and enjoy the holidays more. It’s truly been a gift to myself and a reminder that self-care is not selfish.”

~ C.A. (Holland, PA)

12. Party Prep & Assistance

There are a lot of details that can go into hosting a social engagement. Before the event even occurs there is planning, shopping and prepping that all need to take place. And then the day-of arrives. After all of the prep work, don’t you just want to enjoy yourself and your guests?

Our team can help support you through the entire process. We can take on the time-consuming tasks and errand running. We can pick up food or help you prepare it. We can staff your event so that you don’t have to worry about a thing and simply enjoy yourself.

“Task Complete helped me prepare for a large holiday party by running to stores to pick up necessary items for me; as a busy, working mom of three kids, I was unable to complete all of my tasks alone. Task Complete organized the jobs I needed done, and completed them all in a timely, courteous, and professional manner. We will use them again!”

~ J.R. (Yardley, PA)

13. Administrative & Virtual Assistance

You don’t have to be local to use our Personal Assistant services. We have worked “virtually” with many business people and clients who need an extra set of hands. Maintaining calendars, travel arrangements, research, sending gifts, paying bills… these are just a few of the things we manage virtually for our long-distance clients.

“To say that support from my Task Complete angel has been “helpful” or “valuable” to me is a gross understatement. In truth, it has given me tremendous relief, freedom, and time to focus on my business and my personal life on the activities I most enjoy and that most need my personal attention. I think the greatest mistake entrepreneurs make is to try to “do it all themselves”. Just because we are capable of doing something does not make it the best use of our time. We hit a wall with no place to grow.

My personal concierge has taken over some of the most time-consuming, administrative, and logistical tasks of my day-to-day with excellent execution and attention to detail. Best of all, she does so with minimal instruction and a keen ability to make choices in the moment that are aligned with my values and preferences.

Having help is great. Having professional, flexible, polished, high-quality help that I can trust implicitly is priceless.”

~ T.H. (Asheville, NC)

14. Moving, Packing & Downsizing Help

Downsizing and/or moving are some of the hardest times for families, bringing with it the daunting task of sorting, purging and logistically deciding what to take into a new space.

When people decide to downsize themselves, their parents, or other relatives, they are forced to deal with all of the decision making; clearing through years of mementos as well as clutter and belongings.

With our experience, we make moving or downsizing achievable and more manageable by supporting you and your family through the process. We start by discussing the details of your move and plan accordingly. Your personal assistant will help you decide what to donate, keep or trash. And then we’ll help you get packing!

If you are a Realtor, we offer our personal assistant services to you and your clients. We can get in there early to help declutter and start the packing process so that you can stage, show and sell the property faster. Ask us about how you can offer our value-added services to your clients!

“If I had to use one word it would be Efficient! As a Realtor, I have mainly utilized their services to assist my clients in packing, organizing and de-cluttering. One single working mother needed help rearranging furniture, reducing clutter and packing. Task Complete finished the task in a few short hours and provided huge peace of mind for this woman. Kellyann has built up such a comprehensive concierge service business because she is creative, professional, reliable, available and as the name suggests, the tasks you don’t want to do or simply do not have time – are efficiently completed for you. I highly recommend Kellyann’s myriad of services from bill paying to party planning! Task Complete can seemingly do any task.”

~ D.L. (Langhorne, PA)

“Task Complete is just amazing! Thanks for working with us for nearly two months to get one house downsized and sold and a second one reorganized and merged. Couldn’t have done it without you!!! Thank you for loving what you do and helping in such a loving, caring manner!!”

~ C.& J. A. (Holland, PA)
