When you hear the term “personal assistant,” you might immediately think of someone in an office, taking notes, forwarding phone calls, or bringing coffee to the executive meetings. Similarly, the title “household manager” could inspire grandiose thoughts of large estates where the household staff includes chauffeurs, personal chefs, and maids.
These are accurate connotations, but the tricky thing is that these are also words used to describe who we are at Pepper’s Personal Assistants. While personal assistant, household manager, and concierge are all titles our team can proudly claim, Pepper’s Personal Assistants is a service designed for the average individual during their busy day-to-day life.
Here’s What Pepper’s Does Differently
The goal of Pepper’s Personal Assistants is to give professional individuals their personal time back, whether to indulge in self-care, catch up on some well-needed sleep, spend time with loved ones, or simply take a moment to themselves. We are made up of a team of thoroughly vetted, trained, and talented individuals who all have one thing in common: we thrive on providing excellent service.
When you hire a personal assistant from Pepper’s, you can delegate certain household tasks and assignments to them to help you get organized, tackle projects, and get ahead of the game. Think of Pepper’s Personal Assistants as the additional pair of hands you always needed, or the solution to wanting a few extra hours in the day after you get things done to relax.
After you choose from one of our two service packages, a dedicated member of our personal assistant team will come to your home to support you with a variety of tasks depending on your specific needs and the time allotted.
From grocery shopping and meal prep to bill paying, pet care, and laundry—we can handle it. Our goal is to know what you need before you do, to help you reclaim your time, and bring you peace of mind.
Our Service Packages
Pepper’s Personal Assistants offer two different service packages depending on your unique needs and time requirement, the Task Assistant package and the Personal Assistant package.
Whichever service package you choose, we’re happy to help you get some things off your plate and free your time up for what’s more important.

Personal household assistants aren’t just for CEOs. The Seattle area is full of families with working parents who need an extra set of hands. Believe it or not, personal household assistants can do more than just get coffee, take phone calls, and remember to send anniversary presents.
Whether you’re a single working mom, a stay-at-home dad, or simply a couple that’s doing their best, it can be difficult to parent your children, run a household, and still have time for yourself. The 2023 State of Motherhood Survey reports that over 60% of moms get less than an hour to themselves each day.
It’s sadly understandable. With work, meetings, school, after-school activities, helping with homework, going grocery shopping, and prepping for the next day it’s a wonder parents get any free time at all.
This is why hiring a household assistant can be so beneficial for busy parents.

Asking for Help Is Okay
We know asking for help can be difficult. It’s almost ingrained in us to try to take care of everything ourselves, and to view reaching out for assistance as a sign of weakness. We’re here to tell you that asking for help is okay — even encouraged!
Outsourcing tasks to a personal household assistant can help you focus on and be engaged with what truly matters, time for yourself and your family.
Imagine Your Life With a Pepper’s Personal Assistant
Pepper’s Personal Assistants can help you get some time back by taking care of that pesky to-do list and streamlining otherwise chaotic tasks and organizational duties.
For example…
While you’re at the office working, your household assistant can be taking care tidying up around the house.
When you’re in meetings, they could strip the beds, run a few loads of laundry, and fold everything neatly.
While you’re sending emails, they could load the dishwasher, take out the trash, or make lunches for the kids.
You don’t have to take time out of your day to run a pet to the vet or take your car to the shop because your assistant can do it for you.
When you come home in the evening, your dog is happy and relaxed because your assistant took her for a walk. And forget about the pet smells! Your kitty litter is freshly changed.
Your home is clean and tidy, and the fridge is full of groceries.
Instead of returning to a long to-do list, you’re coming home to a place where you feel comfortable. Now you can relax and focus on the things you want to do, not the things you have to do.

Personal Household Assistants Can Relieve Stress and Improve Your Happiness
Having a personal household assistant is about more than just getting all the chores done. The peace of mind we bring can be a huge stress reliever.
When you’re dreading going home to all the dishes, it impacts your productivity and happiness. Instead, leave your home in the hands of someone professional, trustworthy, and eager to help. Life is too short to fight about who’s going to do the laundry.

If you’re a working mom or dad who needs a little help, to meet your new house manager and ally!
The most successful people know that one thing’s for sure—even if you want to, you can’t do everything yourself. This is where outsourcing comes into play. Whether you run your own business, are a single person working from home, a new homeowner, or a parent juggling the needs of your family, outsourcing can truly change your life for the better.

Done right, outsourcing tasks to an outside company or individual can increase productivity, and free up precious time for you to be more engaged in what matters most to you. This type of investment is incredibly valuable, as it allows you to make the most out of the 24 hours in each day.
How Do You Decide If You Need to Outsource?
So how do you decide which tasks are worth outsourcing? Consider things like your skill level, your budget, and your schedule. Here are a few questions you should ask yourself when you’re considering what to outsource.
Am I putting off this task because I lack the resources or energy? If the answer is yes, you should consider outsourcing..
Do I have the skillset to do this task efficiently? If you have the ability to do this task yourself, and it will end up taking more time, energy, or money to outsource it, you might want to reconsider.
Do I view this task with dread rather than excitement? Sometimes there are things that, although not necessarily difficult, are for whatever reason incredibly stressful. If something is contributing to burnout, take a load off and relax through outsourcing.
Is outsourcing this task a good investment? Think about if the task you’re considering outsourcing is a worthy investment to free up your time.
Can I better spend my time on a higher level task? You might be great at doing things around the house like meal prep, laundry, and paying your bills—but is it worth your time? Your time saved through outsourcing could be better spent with your family, growing your business, enjoying the outdoors, or focusing on yourself.

What Types of Tasks Do Successful People Outsource?
You can definitely get more out of your 24-hour day by hiring others to take care of certain tasks. And personal outsourcing has never been easier. Personal household assistants, virtual companies, and delivery services are ready at the click of a mouse to help give you back some precious time to spend with yourself and your loved ones.
The following categories are just some that successful people everywhere outsource.
Landscaping and Gardening
Do you have a garden or yard? Maybe you’re growing some fruit and vegetables in your garden, or have a large, beautiful lawn but don’t have time to keep up on the maintenance. Outsourcing these tasks to someone with the right tools and equipment can ease your mind.
Bill-paying and Taxes
Consider setting up automatic payments for recurring monthly bills, and hire someone to take care of the more complex financial tasks such as taxes and account organization.
Meal Prepping and Groceries
As of 2016, the average American spends 37 minutes a day preparing, serving, and cleaning up after meals—and we know that number has probably only increased in the last six years. This doesn’t even take into account the time we spend grocery shopping and meal planning. Wouldn’t it be great to get that time back? Look into meal delivery services or hire someone to grocery shop and meal prep healthy, delicious food for you during the week.
Housecleaning
Does it feel like your home is never clean longer than a day or two before things start piling up again? If you can afford to hire a housecleaner, you could use that time for some serious self-care. Besides, who doesn’t love a clean house (especially when someone else cleans it)?
Handyman Tasks
Unless you enjoy learning how to fix things, or you’re naturally talented at repair, outsourcing handyman tasks like fixing a leaky faucet or a tricky light fixture can save you a lot of strife.

Pet Care
From at-home grooming and pet food purchasing to vet appointments and long walks, these types of errands can make having a dog or cat feel more like a chore than a companionship. Outsourcing tasks like these is a win-win situation for everyone, including your furry friend!

Historically, men have been typecast as headstrong providers, known for refusing to ask for directions on the road, while women have been stereotyped as nurturing caregivers expected to shoulder the domestic burden of the nuclear family, all with a warm smile. However, these stereotypes and gender roles fail to allow for individual differences, evolution over time, and the need for flexibility in ever-changing life circumstances.
One social expectation that does not consider the best interests of many women is the assumption that asking for help is a sign of weakness for mothers, partners, or individuals. Many women feel the pressure to maintain pride in the face of this misconception and thus struggle to ask for help, even when they desperately need it. It is important to remember that the “shame” associated with seeking assistance need not be more than an outdated illusion.
Liberate Yourself By Asking for Help
Long-held assumptions would suggest that being a strong, independent woman requires gracefully taking on challenges solo. But enlisting outside help when you need it can actually liberate you. This can also nurture your independence (for instance, by clearing time for self-care essential to stay physically, mentally, and emotionally strong).
There are many reasons why women hesitate to ask for help in their own lives — including fear of rejection, seeming incapable, being a burden, losing control (especially in one’s own household), and the belief that we shouldn’t need to ask for help in the first place. But you can experience even more benefits from releasing those fears and challenging oneself to seek support anyway.

Tend to Your Needs First
First and foremost, follow your flight attendant’s pre-takeoff instructions: put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others. When you tend to your personal needs first, you can be a better partner, parent, friend, employee… you name it! Society expects women to nurture those close to them, sometimes at the expense of nurturing themselves. Especially during challenging or chaotic times, it’s essential to find time for yourself; but because there are only so many hours in a day, and because humans have only finite emotional energy, this often necessitates asking for support.

Seek Support in Personal and Professional Networks
So, whether in the workplace or at home, dare to seek support from those in your personal and professional networks. Start with friends, family members, and trusted colleagues, and consider enlisting professional help. Leveraging your available resources to achieve the best possible outcomes doesn’t mean relinquishing control, admitting defeat, or succumbing to weakness; it simply means knowing yourself (including your limitations) and taking the actions necessary for your success. It takes strength and self-awareness to acknowledge life’s challenges and accept a helping hand to overcome them.
Rather than covering up our vulnerabilities and asking for help as a last-ditch effort, let’s remember these words of wisdom:
“Humans are not designed to go through our days, careers or family life without constant feedback and support from others. We are social creatures and we are better together.”

Allow Pepper’s Personal Assistants to Help!
Couldn’t we all use a pair of helping hands in our daily lives? Fortunately, Pepper’s Personal Assistants are here to help! When you’re ready for some household management assistance, help with errands and chores, and customized personal support, experience all you have to gain from accepting support.
Sometimes it feels like life is a parade of drudgery.
There are so many things we have to do, and there’s not enough time for the things we want to do. If you feel like too many mundane tasks are making it difficult to devote your energy to the things that truly make your life worth living, maybe you could pass a few to us.
Pepper’s Personal Assistants are here to take some responsibilities off your plate so you don’t have to waste any more time on them.
Here are a few ideas of what we might help you with, but we’re always down to hear your ideas, too!
Dry Cleaning and Laundry
You need clean, pressed clothes every day, but nothing drains your time and energy quite like dealing with laundry. We can help you make sure your closet is full and your hamper is empty by handling dry cleaning and laundry..
Grocery Shopping
Hitting the grocery store after work on a weekday is great at sapping your time and patience. Wouldn’t it be better if you could just open your fridge and find it stocked with all your favorite foods? It might sound like magic — but it’s Pepper’s Personal Assistants.

Dog Walking
Most pet owners love spending quality time with their animals. But when your schedule is full, you shouldn’t have to choose between letting your work or your dog suffer. Working with a personal household assistant takes some of the pressure off and makes sure your pet gets plenty of exercise and is ready to relax with you later.
Prescription Refills
You just took your last pill, so you’ll need to go to the pharmacy before it closes at 5 in the afternoon. That is … you will unless you’ve hired Pepper’s Personal Assistants. We’re always happy to do emergency pickups for you, but if you’re a client, we probably called in and delivered your prescription days ago!
Gift Shopping
Uh oh — your coworker’s baby shower is tonight! Instead of showing up empty-handed, bringing something as gauche as a gift card or skipping that last meeting to snag something, let us select a thoughtful gift for you!
Reservation Making
The in-laws are coming to town, and you need to make a dinner reservation for tonight at a place with low-sodium, gluten-free options and plenty of ambience. Rather than spend half an hour scouring Yelp and calling around, we can find you the perfect table.
Bill Paying
Roughlyone in four U.S. adults fail to pay their bills on time, and61% of those who do blame forgetfulness, not financial need. If you’re one of the many people who struggle to keep track of their payment deadlines, let us take over.
We can help you automate payments and organize what you have to pay and when. Your credit score will thank you!
Doctor’s Appointments
Nothing makes an experience feel like a waste of time quite like the music that plays when you’re on hold. If you’re trying to schedule an appointment, let us wait for you!
Unfortunately, we can’t go to the doctor on your behalf, but at least you don’t have to hear three (or four or five) rounds of Pachelbel’s “Canon in D.”

Home Improvement Supervision
Have you ever noticed that if you wait around for furniture delivery (or appliance installation, internet or cable help, a home repair or remodeling crew, etc.) from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., they’ll come at the last possible moment? Other times, they’ll show up at the exact time you need to run a 15-minute errand.
Let us wait for the handyman or delivery person.
We promise to be there to greet them and supervise while they work — and we’ll also take care of the rest of your to-do list as we wait.
