Meet Olivia

Finding great help is hard. Olivia made it simple.

Olivia
Founder and CEO

Olivia started as a personal and family assistant for a prominent family in West Vancouver. She managed properties, schedules, errands, household logistics, and everything in between. When the family relocated, they struggled to find anyone who could replace her.

That is when she saw the real problem. Finding great help is hard, and hiring is a logistical headache, between training, bookkeeping, and managing expectations. It is no wonder so many busy people just keep doing it all themselves, burnt out or not.

So she built Palmerston. As a mental health advocate, Olivia wanted people to feel the freedom that comes with delegation. She put together a team of experienced, motivated assistants, each backed by Palmerston's systems and hands-on support.

Not an agency, and not a faceless VA firm. Palmerston assistants are hired by Palmerston to give you consistent, high-quality support, for as many or as few hours as you need. Whether it is 5 hours a week or 25, we guide you through getting the most out of having an assistant. All wrapped in one simple monthly invoice. No mess, just support that works, so you can focus on what matters most.

Our values

How we show up

The standard we hold ourselves to, on the glamorous tasks and the unglamorous ones alike.

Discretion

We move quietly and professionally through our clients' lives. Sensitive information, personal matters, high-profile households, all handled with complete confidentiality. Always.

No ego

We show up to serve, not to be seen. That means taking on the unglamorous tasks with the same care as the high-profile ones. Our clients' needs always come first.

Competitive greatness

We hold ourselves to an exceptional standard, because our clients and our team deserve nothing less. We learn, we improve, and we never settle, so every interaction is better than the last.

Move with purpose

We plan, we execute, and we course-correct along the way. Our clients come to us to get things done, and that is exactly what we do.

Get started

Let's take the first thing off your plate
