I'm considering beginning a Personal Assistant/Corporate Concierge Service and am curious to hear what services others feel they would pay to have someone take over for them. I don't want to limit myself, however I'm thinking of:
Personal shopping - christmas/birthday shopping
Grocery shopping
Banking
Post office
Mom's Taxi Services (to & frm after school functions if Mom & Dad are working)
Party Planning
The dreaded 4 hour delivery/service call window - will wait, while you work
Appointment Setting - Dr., Salon, Dentist, Spa, Dog Grooming
Dry cleaning pick up and drop off
Holiday Cards
If you feel there is anything I've missed that would be a help to you...let me know!
Also VERY interested to know what you'd be willing to pay for any of these services. Thanks!

All sound great except the mom's Taxi Service because heaven forbid if there is a car accident. Try the Senior assisted living homes. They need personal shoppers for groceries and other things. Good luck.

As strange as this sounds, I would pay someone to go get my oil changed in my car for me. My husband is deployed overseas and he is usually the one to take the car for oil changes. When I walk into the service dept. of the Toyota dealership, all the mechanics turn around and look at me like I'm crazy! I hate feeling out of place, so I would definetely pay someone I trusted to drive my car down to the shop. I would probably be willing to pay around $15-$20. It sounds weird, I know, but I hate doing this chore lol :)
Your list of things sounds great to me, but I'm not really sure what I would want to pay for it. I actually like doing all of the stuff you listed!

Definitely the kids drop off and pick up. I'd pay $100 a month for such a service, save me endless hours commuting.

Great services!! Check out insurance for these - that is very important in this industry.
Also, for consulting, insight, resources, and start-up packages, check: www.conciergesconnection.com They are also redesigning their site, but you will get some great information and assistance.
Best of luck.
