Some additional tasks our clients have asked their Family Assistants to handle include booking travel, researching summer camps, coordinating the mailing of holiday cards, decorating for holidays, providing pet care, booking appointments, organizing household repairs, coordinating with vendors, and ensuring the family vehicles are cleaned and serviced. These versatile helpers adapt to your family's unique needs, ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently.
