Should I Hire a Personal Assistant Directly?

Should I Hire a Personal Assistant Directly?

So why hire an Austin-based personal assistant through Queen of To Do instead of hiring your own directly? There are many advantages, but it mostly comes down to ease. We’ve been in this business since 2011 and have streamlined our processes to make things as easy as possible for you, the client.

We Handle the Hiring Process for You

Finding the Right Fit Takes Experience

There’s a huge advantage in letting us do all the work to find a qualified person. Successful personal assistants come from a variety of backgrounds: teaching, academia, music performance, food service, retail, political campaigns, and nonprofits, to name a few. It’s not about prior positions, but transferable skills.

Our interviewers know the questions to ask, the traits to look for, and what kind of personalities succeed in this work.

We Provide Expert Training and Oversight

Once a candidate is selected, we handle comprehensive onboarding and training. This includes:

- Professionalism standards
- Handling high-stress situations
- Organizing and decluttering strategies
- Starting fresh in a brand-new household

Kate, our founder and co-owner, personally oversees employee development and remains involved to offer support and insight.

Why Our Experience Matters

Hiring through Queen of To Do means tapping into over a decade of hard-earned Austin know-how. Since 2011, we’ve built trusted relationships with:

- Local vendors (plumbers, roofers, handypeople, and more)
- Specialized service providers for everything from pet care to party planning
- Secret sources and hidden gems for anything you didn’t know you needed

You’d be hard-pressed to find a single personal assistant with this much combined insight and access.

Specialized Support Is Always Available

All of our Personal Assistants are skilled in organizing, errands, and general home support. But you’ll also have access to specialists for:

- Gardening and plant care
- Herbal knowledge
- Eco-friendly home upgrades
- Meal prep
- Car detailing
- Event and party planning

You’ll work with one primary assistant, but you’re never limited to just one set of skills.

Built-In Protections and Peace of Mind

We run background checks and carry $1 million in general liability insurance on all employees. If something is damaged or broken, we’ll work with you to replace or repair it. Everything behind the scenes is handled so you can stay focused on what matters.
