meet carlyn schmidt, lake minnetonka personal concierge

Through my journey in life and the people that I have met along the way, I have learned that most people feel stretched thin and wish they had more time.

As a small business owner, wife and mother, I understand the real need to balance home life and business life and because of that, I started Happy to Help You Concierge offering Personal Errand and Home Concierge Services to busy people in the Lake Minnetonka area.

I have always had a true love and passion for helping others. It takes a village to raise a family these days and a strong support system to build a successful career. I want you to know that you are not alone and I am here to support you.

I am on a mission to help make life easier for busy people, doing what I love to do, for people that need me.

I am a wife to a wonderful husband, a mother to two beautiful and very kind adult daughters and a fur baby spoiling mama and fur baby spoiling grandma.

I am from Mound, Minnesota, I raised my family in the area and I truly love the lake life and all of the people in this wonderful lake community.

For the last 20 years, I have helped my husband build Lake Minnetonka’s “Go-To” award-winning electrical business, Schmidt Electric, Inc. As a small local business owner, I am incredibly thankful for the community support and value each and every person that we have served.

Like most parents, I have worn many hats over the years and I wear the “Superwoman badge” with honor. The badge that says I think I can do everything for everyone!

I have earned the reputation of planning the “over the top” birthday parties, the most memorable athletic banquets, epic holiday and graduation parties. I am the family meal planner, grocery shopper, chef, errand runner, organizer, shopper, taxi driver, house cleaner, home project manager and of course the family photographer - “seriously just one more photo because it will look good in the scrapbook”.

I am a retired professional cheerleader, a volunteer extraordinaire, a small local business owner and a loving friend to many! - A damn good life!

I find great joy and pride in the care that I provide and truly want to help busy people live a happier, healthier and more simplified life. I hope that you will allow me to personally assist you. I would be happy to help!

My goal is to free up your time for the things that matter most to you!
