Description of Job
• Perform almost any minor repair or maintenance chore for homeowners.
• Be available on short notice for urgent jobs.
• Supervise subcontractors and licensed plumbers and electricians.
The Need
Have you heard the old joke about the definition of homeowners? They’re people who sleep in their own bed at night but live at the hardware store! Every house needs care. Older houses need repairs to essential systems, from leaky sinks to broken light switches. New homes need to have curtains and shades hung and minor landscaping; some homeowners need help in assembling gas grills or putting bicycles together. Houses in between new and old need all sorts of touch-ups, refurbishments, and installations.

Description of Job
• Provide special expertise in shopping for unusual items.
• Assist clients who are not able to shop for themselves because of disability or illness.
• Research and purchase gifts for business clients to present on special occasions.
The Need
There are only 24 hours in each day. Subtract a full day of work, getting the kids off to school and back home, making dinner, and, if you’re lucky, eight hours of sleep, and there’s not much time left over for shopping. Senior citizens and people with physical infirmities may not be able to get out of their homes to shop for food, necessities, and gifts.
Businesses purchase gifts for clients and to honor employees for significant personal milestones.
Then there are those people whose vision of the levels of hell include one specifically devoted to being trapped in a shopping mall.
The personal shopper gets to know the client and the market, and efficiently shops for (and often delivers) items ranging from groceries to furniture, appliances, and supplies.
