What size is that “Downsize”? December 1, 2009

images“Miss T” moved from a very large, lovely home to much more petite digs.

Months prior to the move we started, sorting, purging, donating, packing, and mailing items off to friends and relatives.

Cunningham Moving and Storage to the rescue on Moving Day.

An exceptionally organized and professional company- they are a delight to work with and they made the move worry free.

The past week has been unpacking, organizing and placement.

Target is such a terrific resource for all things “organizing” as are  the Container Store, Bed Bath and Beyond …

Mitzi and Ian are two  stellar Kerry On Workers and enjoy a successful track record as a super team who accomplish a great deal with finesse and ease.

The house is immaculate except for towering boxes - Goal: everything put away by Thursday!

Holiday Magic – Make your to-do-list Disappear November 30, 2009

You’re busy.

You don’t have time to pick up the groceries, the laundry, the tickets, and get the packages in the mail.

You would love to stock the pantry, cupboards, and refrigerator… and organize the linen closet, go to the Container Store and buy all those necessary items to organize your three closets.

You wish you could return the library books and the videos on time; mail packages to your family and get your shoes repaired. Yesterday.

Let me save you from circling the block looking for that elusive parking place, liberate you from standing in line at the post office, pharmacy, cleaners, ticket office and Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Safeway, Cal Mart and Bryan’s.

clockMr and Mrs A.  called me to drive them to the Oakland Airport  for an unexpected trip East.
They prefer me to drive them in their car and to leave the car at his office in the City.
While they were gone they asked me to:
  • Bring in the newspapers,
  • Check the mail and sort
  • Email them daily with any/all news
  • Contact and interface with the computer guru. The Mac was on the fritz- again.
  • Oversee Workmen  who were repainting the downstairs Powder Room  for two days.
  • In addition, the gardener would  be installing a drought resistant area in the backyard and needed to be monitored ~according to his notes.
She  runs a rare books business from her home and she needed 9 books wrapped, insured ,  mailed  and tracked.
The last two things on “THE LIST” was to get a ding in her windshield repaired and to stock the refrigerator for their return.
Mr and Mrs A returned to their home last Sunday night – pleased to have their “To do List” handled in their absence. Worry free.

May I help you?

All tied up with your “to do list”? November 1, 2009

All tied up with a massive “To Do List“?                                        Kerry on – I am knotsgoodhappy to help.

As a Personal Assistant I am happy to work with you to lighten the load of the cumbersome To Do List.

Last Week~

  • I delivered  6  Italian light fixtures
  • Organized three closets with a client
  • Before  The Big Move – I assisted in packing up a family and spearheaded The Purge -…sometimes all you need is a 3rd party to encourage  the toss, donate, pack up mentality.
  • One client needed reams of papers sorted into 3 categories.    A  quick trip to the Container Store for a handful of bins, boxes and crates~and that solved most of her storage challenges.

Is it time to update your Earthquake Preparedness Kit?

Call me – I would be happy to discuss your needs and your priorities.

Not a Shred of Evidence…images
Yesterday a client hired me to deliver reams of  out dated documents, ancient tax returns and misc. papers  to Level 6 Shredding  in San Francisco. This  small and impeccable company weighed and shredded all the docs that required my ‘witness’ and were to shred all other papers, thereafter.   Matt and Robert make house calls -and  will show up at your curb ( at your home or office) and shred documents, too. A great service both very professional and cordial.
Good Will? Out -of -the -Closet is a dynamic, well organized, company – located at California and Polk Streets – light years ahead of Goodwill- who accepts donations for resale. Excellent drive in and drop off donations service. Several clients have hired me take multiple bags for donations to Out- of -the- Closet.
Good Will HuntingLooking for someone to run to Target, Costco and Bev Mo?  Last week I made the rounds for one family and delivered groceries, paper goods, and beverages. Happy family.

Rates: $40.00 per hour – Two (2) hour minimum
Thank you.

ggb_378_20051108***Senior Living~

Recently I was hired to research, tour/inspect  four San Francisco Independent Living facilities and report back on my findings.   My client is based in New York  and is “planning ahead” for his elderly parents.


I arranged for personal tours at the Sequoias, the San Francisco Towers, the Carlisle and Coventry Gardens. I took notes and took pictures.  I have myriad contacts, friends and acquaintances who gave me their candid comments and insights.
I was able to compile a very thorough packet of information to FEDEX to my client and review by phone.

May I help you?

imagesI am a pick up artist:

I pick up the pieces- the dry cleaning, the packages at UPS, the plans at City Hall, and the groceries from Whole Foods, Safeway, Bryan’s and Trader Joe’s.

I run errands and I run interference for you with suppliers, contractors, workers and helpers.
I’m a professional Personal Assistant with a proven track record and background in logistics and operations.

Recently~

  • I researched the best water heater company in Marin and arranged for the very smooth  installation

  • Arranged for  62 windows cleaned to perfection
    Created an Earthquake Preparedness Kit for a family of four
    and facilitated the design and construction of 3 very efficient closets….

  • I helped a film maker set up a home office;  picked up a Visa at the Russian Consulate, bought, wrapped, insured and mailed multiple Christmas gifts, stocked a very extensive pantry from stem to stern.

  • I researched and found a great paint that replicates a movie screenand made a client very happy by having her wall painted/treated – voila!    A new meaning for Home Movies….

  • A client  in NYC hired me to deliver healthy, balanced  meals from Whole Foods to his frail, elderly parents in Sausalito.

  • Another client needed help downsizing/de-cluttering/organizing before her move from a loft South of Market to a condo in Tiburon.  We shopped, shipped, wrapped, taped, labeled, recycled, donated and got her feeling a lot more confident and relaxed about her next chapter.

The list of what I can do to make you life easier and more fun is long and varied~

  • I Kerry on – so you can carry on and have a lot more fun and time!

Up a Creek without a Pen~pen
A client hired me to write a  short biography for the album cover of an incredible new jazz CD coming  out   this week.
In addition, I formatted the copy, researched the various artists, and compiled song titles, times, talent.  It looks great.

***Write Off – Neal need  assistance answering the dozens of cards, notes, mass cards he received after the death of his 95 year old maiden aunt. He hired me to oversee the purchase of the cards and  stamps, as well as organize the lists and  address each thank you card.
***The Stagers are Coming - Mrs D.  hired me to come in and pack up her kitchen,  dining room, and 4  bedrooms before the stagers came to “prep” her beautiful house on Edgewood Drive -  before it went up for for sale.
I love the variety and the number of projects I get to work on…May I help you?
