FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a concierge service?
A concierge service is a team of assistants that keeps your personal life in order; much like an executive assistant keeps your professional life in order. A personal concierge can assist you with both the everyday errands that crowd your calendar as well as the coordination of special events like dinner parties, baby showers, vacations and even wedding planning. By clearing your schedule of these duties, a concierge service allows you to spend time doing the activities you truly enjoy.
Think of Domestic Concierge as an On-Call Personal Assistant, Organization Guru, Event Planner and Lifestyle Consultant all rolled into one.

How much time can I save with the help of Domestic Concierge?
Domestic Concierge finds that, on average, people spend more than 5 hours a week just keeping their busy lives in order – just think about all the time you spend running to the grocery store for a carton of milk or fresh vegetables; going to the bank to make a deposit or get a roll of quarters for laundry; stopping by the drugstore to pick up prescriptions and beauty supplies. The list goes on and on! And, don't forget to add in time spent in traffic, searching for a parking space and waiting in line. So much of your post-work and weekend time is spent doing the important, but mundane and unenjoyable tasks.
Now imagine having someone else do all those time-sapping tasks for you! Your To-Do list could instead become filled with the activities that you love – catching up with a friend over a glass of wine, browsing the aisles of the local bookstore, going for a long bike ride, or spending the morning with a newspaper in one hand and a cappuccino in the other.
With Domestic Concierge, the phrase, "I don't have time" can be eliminated! |
