How did the business come to be?

I was a single mom and wanted to do something that my son could come with me when there was no school or he was sick. I thought I had a great blonde moment but found out really quick that there were 50 companies already in business. 

I connected with a few for networking and then bought two business after two years. Since then, I have been building my clientele. I am very proud to have two ladies that I have used as an independent contractors; one for 13 years and one other for 7 years. 

Then in 2010, I started to see and hear clients wishing they had someone help with personal items. So I thought I would also start a personal assistant business. This is just a great addition I have found and even been surprised when clients ask me to do something I never thought of doing.

Why did you choose the area you did?

Because I have lived in DuPage all my life.
