Handy Ande, Personal Concierge Services... A NETWORK of smart, kind women (and men) across North America providing errand, personal, home, pet, and business assistance as needed.

Before you call your local Handy Ande concierge, make a To Do List of all the things you would like to have done for you and tell your service provider. Doing this will allow her/him to be prepared with the right tools, ample time, and the proper clothes for the tasks on your "wish list". This is also the first step required in obtaining an estimate of the fee.
