personal errand and home concierge services
making life easier for busy people in the lake minnetonka area
general errands
Your to-do list is long. You are feeling stressed out and wish that you had more time. Running errands can be time consuming and easily put to the bottom of your to-do list because you are busy. Imagine having your own personal errand runner for everyday tasks to support your families day-to-day life.
Getting things done when you need it done!
Think: drop off and pick up dry cleaning, returns/exchanges, post office, UPS, FedEx, pharmacy, bank, library, hardware store, paint store, pet food supplies, home remodel project samples and supplies, school birthday party snack delivery, kids school lunch or athletic bag delivery, local package delivery, liquor store etc.
grocery shopping
Grocery shopping takes time. You are busy and the last thing you want to squeeze into your day is getting groceries. Let me pick up your online order or shop for you and put your groceries away. You can focus on what matters most to you.
Going on vacation? Think about how nice it would be to come home from a relaxing vacation with your refrigerator and pantry stocked with your favorite foods. Instead of worrying about having to run out and get fresh food for your family, you can focus on unpacking and getting back into the swing of things.
Do you have a second home in the Lake Minnetonka area? I can have your refrigerator, pantry and liquor cabinet stocked and ready for your enjoyment!
Just moving into your new home? You are stretched thin. You have boxes everywhere and too much to do. Let me get your groceries so that you can continue to settle into your new home.
personal shopping
Would you like some help with your personal shopping? Need a pair of shoes returned or exchanged for a different size? Pillows picked up at Pottery Barn? I can get your shopping done.
gift shopping/holiday shopping
Would you like help finding the perfect gift for someone special? I can shop for you, beautifully wrap it and personally deliver it or box it up and ship it for you
Gift shopping for all kinds of special occasions - a birthday, thank you gift, a special gift for your mom, stocking stuffers for your husband, new home, new to the neighborhood, a gift for your best friend, going through a difficult time, a gift for your mail carrier, teacher gifts, coach gift, hostess gift, wedding gift, baby gift, even a just got divorced gift or just because gift etc. The smallest gift with a personal touch can mean the world to someone!
gift wrapping
I love wrapping gifts! I can find a beautiful or unique way to wrap just about any gift for birthdays, special occasions, thank you gifts and holidays. If you are someone that does not like wrapping gifts or doesn’t have the time, I can get it done for you.
Home Waiting Services
It can be stressful having to wait for service and repairs for your home when you are busy and already stretched thin. No need to plan your day around meeting a contractor at your home. I can do the waiting for you. I can wait for furniture delivery, appliance delivery or repair, the plumber, electrician, handyman, painter, cable guy etc. I can meet with a contractor and wait for an estimate for your home project. I can be there for a package to be delivered that requires a signature.
No more worries because I will make your life easier and do the waiting for you.

De-cluttering
Are you getting ready to put your home on the market and need help de-cluttering your home, making spaces look and feel bigger and function the way they should? Or are you someone that has collected many treasures over the years and just wants to simplify life by de-cluttering your home?
I would be happy to help you!
Downsizing
Downsizing can be very emotional and difficult. It may mean that you are leaving a home that you have raised your family in and have lived there for a very long time. Maybe you are going through a divorce or becoming an empty nester. Sorting through belongings triggers emotions and memories which can stop you from finding the energy to get it done.
I am here to help you and support you through this process. I want to make life easier for you. Many hands make light work. Let’s get to work!
Unpacking
Are you moving to a new home? Make your move easier with unpacking and organizing assistance.
home project services
Do you have a long list of repairs or projects that need to be done and struggle to find the right person for the job? Do you need a handyman, remodeling contractor, plumber, electrician, painter etc?
I can research contractors and gather information or estimates for each of your projects. I can act as a liaison between you and the contractor or simply provide the information to you. Sometimes it is not what you know but who you know. I would be happy to help you.
Online Research
Research and information gathering made easy. Are you looking for a REALTOR, handyman, party rental place, a venue for a special occasion, travel information, decorator, designer etc? Allow me to help you do some of the research for you.
Home Watch Services
When you are away from your home traveling on vacation or you are away from your second home near Lake Minnetonka, you can have comfort in knowing that your home will be looked after.

Your mail, packages and newspaper will be brought into your home. Your garbage can will be put away. Plants will be watered if needed. Your home will be confirmed locked and secured.
And, my personal favorite is to stock your refrigerator and pantry with your favorite foods for the ease of your return home from vacation or for the arrival at your second home. My goal is to do whatever I can to help simplify and enhance your life.
All concierge services are available while you are away.
