Ready to learn more about what an executive housekeeper is and the role they play within your domestic staff?
What is an Executive Personal Assistant?
Our clients commonly ask the following questions:
- What is an executive assistant?
- What do executive assistants do that a personal assistant does not?
These are good questions. Like an executive housekeeper, their expertise, skill set, and leadership abilities go beyond that of an entry level personal assistant.
What separates the two types of personal assistants is the executive’s ability to oversee larger and more critical responsibilities. Often, this means working with other household staff becomes a part of their daily job description.
Why are executive assistants important?
The risk of issues arising is dangerously high when giving responsibility to an individual with limited experience with their personal assistant job. The executive assistant has made this job a career and has the experience, connections, and level of grit needed to accomplish the toughest of jobs.
The Benefits of having an Executive Personal Assistant
An executive level professional assistant gives you the ability to think, create, and relax. The level of skill brought to the table makes them a critical component of your professional and family team. Whether it is an administrative task like scheduling appointments or planning your family vacation, your executive personal assistant makes the process seamless.
