We’ve heard of personal assistants, and we’ve heard of home organizers, but the latest trend is an innovative elevation of both combined. Introducing lifestyle management- an extra hand doing the things you don’t want to do, don’t have time to do, or forget to do.
Consider a home manager an extra set of ears, eyes, and hands keeping your household under control.
We sat down with Adrienne Orris, owner of Lifestyle Simplicity, who dives into the beauty, nature, and duties of her home management biz.
What is Lifestyle Simplicity?
Home/estate management is essentially the efficient operation of your household. Lifestyle Simplicity oversees the management of large estates or multiple properties. Responsibilities include supervising staff, managing property maintenance, handling finances, and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.
In addition, the company keeps home organization intact, focusing on creating efficient systems for storage, arranging items for optimal accessibility, and helping maintain a seamless home environment.
As your personal aide, Lifestyle Simplicity provides administrative support to busy individuals. Duties often include managing schedules, booking appointments, running errands, and assisting with personal tasks.
Why is there a need for this?
An estate manager is needed for several reasons.
Large estates or multiple properties require extensive oversight, including maintenance, repairs, and renovations. This is handled in the “Complex Property Management” division.
Managing a team of household staff, such as gardeners, cleaners, and security personnel, requires coordination and supervision. Estate managers supervise staff performance and schedules.
Estate managers are also available to handle budgeting, bill payments, and financial planning for the property, ensuring all expenses are tracked and managed effectively.
For properties that host events or gatherings, an estate manager coordinates logistics, vendors, and preparations to ensure successful execution.
What won't you do for me?
An estate manager typically does not perform tasks that fall outside their managerial and supervisory roles. Specifically, they usually will not perform routine cleaning, caregiving (children/elderly), manual labor, cooking, or highly specialized tasks (like legal advising). Most home managers do not run errands, but Lifestyle Simplicity offers services that include errand tasks (such as making looming Amazon returns sitting idle in your trunk).
How do you help families who love to travel?
Lifestyle Simplicity researches and coordinates all travel aspects including flights, trains, and car rentals, ensuring the best routes and schedules to meet your needs. Additionally, they assist in obtaining necessary travel documents, such as passports.
Their team finds and books the most suitable accommodations whether it's luxury hotels, private villas, or serviced apartments as well as curates detailed travel itineraries- dining reservations and activity planning.
Where do you draw the line with your services?
Lifestyle Simplicity has yet to deny a client request.
How can busy families benefit from Lifestyle Management?
Home managers save you time. By utilizing such services, parents can focus on their children, work, and personal interests rather than dealing with property-related tasks. This, in turn, reduces stress and provides peace of mind.
Regular upkeep and proactive maintenance prevent issues from escalating. More so, dedicating someone to manage expenses can potentially save families money with a better budgeting system.
Lifestyle Simplicity tailors services to meet specific needs and preferences of the family, ensuring personalized and attentive care.
Services offered through convenient monthly packages.
