Thorn & Key, LLC is a personal assistance and lifestyle management service made to help my clients manage the details of everyday, so they don't have to think about it every day.

I offer a flexible combination of personal assistance, household management, and project coordination with one main goal: giving you the time back to spend on what matters most to you.

I am here for the people whose time is valuable and whose responsibilities extend beyond what they want or need to manage on their own. This ranges from executives and professionals to busy parents with more than enough to juggle. 

Whether you're relocating and renovating, navigating a demanding chapter of life, or simply want an extra set of hands — we're here to make sure you get through it all, with flying colors.

Officially, it refers to outsourcing daily tasks to save time and reduce stress. In other terms, it means that I would be running errands, overseeing maintenance/renovation efforts, coordinating appointments/travel/etc., and other household tasks.

It means having someone you trust to take on the tasks that don't necessarily require you to personally do them, but still require someone competent to make sure they get done right.

Traditional assistants are usually hired for a specific role and have a set schedule. With Thorn & Key, we know that life requires a bit more flexibility. I can handle not just administrative responsibilities — but also personal, household, life, and extra projects. 

The name of the game is adapting to what you actually need, not just operating in the confines of a job description.

First, you'll fill out an intake form so I can get a decent idea of what is taking up your time and needs to be delegated.

Next, we'll have a chat to determine the best service structure, hourly arrangement, and/or monthly package that will best suit your needs.

Once the details are in hand, I'll get the finer details like preferences, priorities, contacts, and anything else needed to make the support as seamless to your household as possible.

Lastly, I've got it handled. Once the ask is my hands, you don't have to keep thinking about it!

Not at all! 

Just starting with "I have too much on my plate and I don't know where to begin" is the perfect reason to get in touch. I can help identify areas of delegation and find the places in your life that benefit the most from my support.

Services can include, but are not limited to, managing calendars, running errands, personal shopping, travel research and coordination, reservations for restaurants or selfcare services, file organization, household management, home organization, relocation assistance, and event planning.

No — that's one of the advantages of working with Thorn & Key. Needs often change week-to-week, so we can tailor services to be what's going on right now and not just during consultation.

Of course! Sometimes life is too busy for a large project or event, or you just need an extra set of hands for a bit. 

You can look at my pricing menu for a full list of what I offer for limited or one-time services. If you can't find an exact match for what you need, please feel free to contact me to find a custom arrangement.

Absolutely, recurring tasks can eat up a lot of time that's better spent elsewhere. I'm happy to work with you if you just need a bit of extra help with household services, scheduling, shopping, or other small tasks.

Prices range depending on the type of project or hourly commitment, level of access required, and type of service.

Most one-time contracts will have a three-hour minimum applied. Don't worry — that time will disappear fast when we get into planning.

Monthly packages will have the service hours included, and will usually exceed the minimum.

That's totally fine!

You don't need to have everything figured out before our consultation — that will cover the details about what you want off your plate and how much time that may take. If need be, we can also discuss a structured service type that makes the most sense for you!

Personal assistance often involves a great deal of access to your home and private information like schedules, documents, household details, and other personal matters.

Discretion and professionalism is key to building trusting relationships with my clients. All information is handled responsibly and is only used when necessary to provide authorized services.

Some services do require access to the client's home. Any access requirements will be discussed at the consultation and authorizations will be made in advance. 

Travel within my standard service area will not require any extra mileage fees. Travel outside of my service area may be billed at $0.70/mile. 

Any other associated costs such as parking, tolls, admissions, and other third-party expenses will be invoiced separately when applicable.

Yes, subject to availability and urgency. 

Please note that evening and weekend services may be billed at a higher rate.

Yes. I can research, contact, schedule, and coordinate with service providers on your behalf. I cannot perform any work that requires a professional license.

For example, I can coordinate a plumber, repair service, moving company, gas inspection, and/or cleaning professional. Even in the same week!

No, I am not a housekeeping or cleaning service provider. However, I am more than happy to help coordinate and supervise cleaning services, if needed!

Absolutely, I can! I know relocation is already such a stressful time, and having a professional helper can make a significant difference. 

Depending on your needs, I can help with: researching moving/shipping companies, scheduling services, organizing documents and records, coordinating utilities and appointments, creating checklists and packing systems, managing address-change tasks, and researching your new area.
