Find a local personal concierge near you

The thing with an on-demand personal concierge is that this is on a per-project basis. There are instances where you may not need full-time or even part-time help, and a personal concierge that you can tap whenever necessary may prove to be a cost-effective alternative while still ensuring that you’re channelling all your time and effort on the bigger things.

Considering the nature of a personal concierge, this would depend on your arrangement with a Tasker. A Tasker may be taken in for a one-time project, or maybe you intend to have consumable personal concierge credits with a Tasker that has earned your trust and confidence. This is best discussed in more detail with your Tasker to ensure a smooth working relationship and manage expectations.

Not necessarily. As with any task, as long as it’s objectively legal, subjectively moral, and of course mutually agreeable, a Tasker can perform whatever service you need out of them. You can be specific with your ask in your task posting, then discuss particulars with your potential personal concierge candidates just to manage your expectations and set agreements wherever necessary.

Unlike other types of skilled work where a service provider is expected to be well-equipped (think of carpenters or electricians), a personal concierge is more of a generalist. As such, they are not necessarily expected to have technical equipment for specialised tasks. Should you have such requirements for a personal concierge, you will shoulder the cost of equipment and materials on top of your agreed labour rates.

For services like delivering supplies to your home, pet sitting, and general home maintenance, yes, there’s a need to provide access to your home. You may refer to previous client feedback for any Tasker you’re seeing as a potential candidate if you have doubts about their integrity towards the work that needs to be done.

If you can’t afford to be hands-on with these tasks, you must provide your Tasker with your credit card details. Typically, however, only authorised transactions will be charged to your account as needed, so it would be best to establish the necessary measures like two-factor authentication to give you access to transactions that need confirming. You may check a Tasker’s feedback from previous clients should you require more confidence in trusting someone else with these sensitive details.
