Frequently Asked Questions About Hiring in Brooklyn Heights
-
Our assistants are local to Brooklyn and Manhattan and comfortable navigating the neighborhood on foot, via Citi Bike, or using subway lines. For local grocery runs, dry cleaning drop-offs, or quick pharmacy trips, walking is often faster than driving.
-
Yes. Unlike doorman buildings, historic brownstones require hands-on management for access and package security. Your assistant can be on-site to receive deliveries, supervise repairs, handle package intake, and ensure entry gates and doors remain secured when work is complete.
-
A housekeeper focuses primarily on deep cleaning and physical upkeep, while a property manager oversees high-level building maintenance and large contractor budgets. A part-time personal assistant focuses on managing daily errands, scheduling, vendor oversight, and household logistics so your day runs smoothly.
-
While personal assistants are not dedicated nannies, they can handle family logistics and household admin so your schedule stays on track. They can also work with nannies to make sure childcare is properly coordinated.
-
You can delegate weekly grocery runs directly to your assistant, or manage online delivery orders. They can unpack deliveries, organize pantries, restock household essentials, and manage returns without taking up your personal time.
-
Once you complete our Client Questionnaire detailing your location, desired schedule, and core task list, we send curated candidate matches directly to your inbox.
