Whether to get someone in to help around the house is never an easy decision.
On one hand, they can make the day-to-day simpler. On the other, will they know how to get things just so?
The smaller, finer things seem frivolous to some. But to those in the know, getting them right is an absolute must.
So, from outings to hors d’ouevres, what does it take to offer a service that’s as refined as you are?
Ensuring you’re seen in the right places
Everyone knows that how you like your latté is just as important as where you like to have it. So if morning tea calls, we know it’s your spot, or it’s no spot at all.
Wherever you like to watch the world go by, you deserve to be taken there in style – and every step must be taken to procure your usual table.
And knowing your foodstores from your providores
Simon Johnson? He’s less a name than an old friend.
And like us, he understands that proper care should be taken to pick the right produce – from staples to special occasions.
Your personal carer should know that an artisan loaf of sourdough and full-cream Friesian milk make all the difference come breakfast time.
Exercising correct cheese protocol
Now, you didn’t spend all that time at the deli picking out the perfect piece of cheese only to have it served without ceremony.
Heaven forbid you’re faced with rock-hard Camembert. Or a sweaty Comte.
The best home assistance extends to the cheese in the fridge. Stored correctly – and left to come to room temperature just as it’s time to enjoy. And if the time calls…
Choosing the right wine
When it’s time to unwind with a glass or two of wine, we don’t simply do what the sommelier insists. After all, you’ve spent a lifetime learning exactly what you like.
Whatever your drop of choice may be, we know the importance of having a bottle on hand, chilled or aerated to order. (The right vintage, of course.)
And finally – doing everything with a sense of occasion!
No social event calls for just any old thing out of the wardrobe – you need an outfit that’s fit for the moment. And it will need to be laundered and pressed before and after (dry clean only, naturally).
It’s important to arrive neither early nor late, but fashionably on time. And have a dignified excuse to leave well before the end. These things can drag on, as you know.
Like we said – it’s the little things. But there’s a right way to do them.
Our passionate team is here to help you live life your way. So if you’re in need of private in home care to match your style, call us on 03 9267 9090.
