MY BUSY VALENTINE...

"My busy Valentine... Sweet, overworked Valentine...."


Roses?  She's allergic.  Chocolates?  He's watching his weight.  Dinner out?  Too busy!  If they're lucky, they'll share a quick glass of champagne.  The only thing your Valentine could really use is MORE TIME...  

THE GIFT OF TIME!
 

The Betty Brigade exists for precisely this reason -- to do for our busy clients what they don't have time to do themselves. 

Think of us as your personal concierge.  Remember, we don't clean, although we can arrange for someone else to.  Below are a few ideas for time-freeing options offered by the Betty Brigade.   


$18.50     One pet care visit.  We will feed, water and walk the dog, then leave a note describing what Max did (or didn’t do).  We'll clean the litter and give kitty food and water & a few minutes of play (if s/he isn’t too shy).  This service is great for the busy professional who can't get home at lunchtime. 


< $25    Fifteen minutes of service.  One of our Betties will change your water filter, check the chemicals in your hot tub or spa, or water your plants.  These can be weekly, monthly or one-time chores.  Perfect for the frequent traveller.


< $50  Thirty minutes of service.  A Betty will deliver a special treat or message to your significant other's workplace, or take Max to the groomer's.  Got another half-hour chore or errand?  Let us know!  


$95   One hour of service. You’d be surprised how much a Betty can accomplish in one hour.
  We'll buy groceries and stock the fridge and pantry.  We'll organize a closet or other small area.  Or we'll do a string of errands, such as picking up dry cleaning, returning overdue library books, shipping a package, refilling a prescription.  

$100 - $145    Our home maintenance checklist.  We'll walk through your home with you, 
noting number of windows; type of furnace; fireplaces; hot tub or spa, smoke detectors, water filters, security systems, etc.  We then create a checklist, showing which maintenance chores need doing and when, throughout the year.  Once the list is created, we call or email when tasks are coming due.  No charge for the monthly calls -- only for our time if our services are requested.  

No job is too big or too itty bitty for a Betty -- and we LOVE a challenge!
