Your week, handled.
A dedicated personal assistant who runs the admin, the errands, the travel, and the planning, and keeps your fridge full of food made for you. One person who knows how you like things, a second assistant for cover.
A complimentary consultation, no commitment. We learn your life, then take it off your plate.
What does a personal assistant in Vancouver do?
It depends on what you want off your plate. Our assistants run the household side of your life and can touch on business: errands, appointments, travel, trades, bills, events, etc., in person and remotely across Greater Vancouver, on a plan from 10 to 80+ hours a month.
We suit busy people and families whose time is better spent elsewhere, or who want an extra pair of hands they can trust in their home.
We are not the right call if you need an office administrator or a business consultant, or someone responsible for your children's care or anyone's personal or medical care. If what you need first is a cleaner or a nanny, we will tell you that instead of selling you a plan.
Personal assistant services across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley
We are currently accepting new clients. Palmerston PA takes on a limited number of households at a time, so your assistant can actually know your life. If that is the kind of support you have been wanting, start with a call.
Areas of life we cover
Groceries, meals and errands
The weekly shop, the meal prep, the restaurant bookings, and the running list of pickups, returns and deliveries.
Vehicles
Buying, insuring and servicing the cars, the paperwork that comes with each, and getting them to the shop and back.
Household and property
Cleaners, trades and maintenance across every property you own, booked, supervised, paid, and checked on while you are away.
Family life and appointments
Appointments booked and chased, specialists found and vetted, and one calendar the whole household can see.
Events and entertaining
Birthdays, dinners and the big ones, from the vendor list and the gifts to the run sheet on the day.
Travel
Flights, hotels, insurance and check-ins, plus the rebooking when a plan changes and the documents everyone forgets.
Hiring and household staff
Ads, screening and shortlists, interviews arranged, then onboarding and payroll once you choose. The decision stays yours.
Bills, payments and money admin
Due dates tracked, bills paid on your say-so, and clean records handed to your bookkeeper and accountant.
Inbox, calendar and correspondence
Inbox and calendar filtered daily, so what needs your decision reaches you and the rest is routed to the right person or handled.
“I was her first client.”
My wife and I hired Olivia in 2018 as our live-in family assistant. We run very busy lives, and she was always there to support us with our two kids and their schedules, multiple properties, and really anything else we put on her plate, often before we even had to ask.
“Palmerston PA takes all of that away.”
What I really liked is that Palmerston PA is a fractional service. As a family that travels, the flexibility to increase or reduce our hours month to month gave me a lot of security. Hiring someone can be stressful, knowing that if you have less work for a couple of months, their finances could dip.
“Olivia gets things done.”
A defining factor of working with Olivia is trust. Right from the beginning with Palmerston PA, you could tell they hold their values at the forefront of all their work. We’ve doubled down on our hours since starting. I highly recommend Palmerston PA to anyone feeling bogged down.
From first call to off your plate
A real person the whole way, starting with Olivia.
Book an intro callA personal staffing consultation
We work out who your household actually needs, and in what order. Often that is an assistant. Sometimes it is a cleaner or a nanny first, and we will tell you that instead of selling you a plan.
Thinking about a nanny? Here's what a nanny costs in Vancouver.
Agree the areas you want covered
There are nine parts of running a household. You decide which ones we take and which ones stay with you.
Meet your assistant
Olivia runs your onboarding herself, gathering the accounts, contacts, vendors and preferences. Once she knows how your house runs she matches you with an assistant, and a second one for cover. You meet them both before they start.
Send work however suits you
Text, email, Slack or a quick call. Your assistant picks it up from there and comes back to you when it is done.
Your assistant, their backup and Olivia are the only people here who can open your household, and nobody is added to it without your approval. How we keep you protected

Home watch, on its own or in your plan
If you have an assistant with us, home watch comes out of your monthly hours, just ask. If you only want the home watch and no plan, hire us for it on its own at the per-visit prices here. Every visit covers a full walkthrough, mail, plants, and running the taps, across Greater Vancouver.
Plans, prices and service area as of November 1, 2026. Prices in Canadian dollars.
