The right person to
manage your life,
not just your diary.

A skilled virtual PA or household administrator frees you to focus on what matters most — and does it with the discretion, professionalism and initiative your household demands.

Discreet At every stage

For many of our clients, the most significant pressure on their time is not the management of the house itself — it is the administration that surrounds it. The diary. The correspondence. The travel arrangements. The supplier calls. The things that never quite make it to the top of the list, and whose absence slowly creates friction in an otherwise well-run life.

A skilled PA or household administrator addresses this directly. Whether working virtually from their own location, from a dedicated space in your home, or as part of a broader household team, the right person removes an entire category of daily administration from your day — and does it with the kind of competence and discretion that your household expects from everyone who works within it.

The right arrangement for your household

Virtual PA

Works remotely — fully equipped, fully professional. Available across agreed hours and responsive when you need them. No desk, no commute, no office overhead.

Diary and calendar management Email correspondence and filtering Travel booking and logistics Supplier coordination and invoices Research and report preparation

Household PA

Based in or near your home, working within the household team. Handles both the administrative and the practical — the intersection between personal life and household management.

Household budgets and accounts Staff rotas and management Property management liaison School, medical and appointment coordination Event planning and guest logistics

Executive PA

For principals who require high-level, confident PA support across both professional and personal life. Accustomed to confidential environments and rapid decision-making.

Board-level diary and correspondence Business travel and conference management Confidential document handling Complex international scheduling NDA-governed sensitive administration

Housekeeper-PA

The practical combination that many busy professional households find most useful — household management and personal administration delivered by one experienced, trusted individual.

Household cleaning and management Admin support during household hours Errands, shopping and procurement Scheduling and diary support Pet care and property management

Home-Based Admin

A dedicated administrator working from a home office — managing the correspondence, accounts, logistics and organisation that a busy household generates across the week.

Household accounts and bill management Insurance, warranties and records management Correspondence with schools and professionals Online shopping and procurement Filing, contracts and documentation

Part-Time & Flexible

Not every household needs a full-time PA. A skilled administrator working two or three days per week can transform the organisation of a home without the commitment of a full-time hire.

2–4 days per week — agreed in advance Term-time or school-hours arrangements Ad hoc support around travel or events Maternity and holiday cover Project-based administration

What a skilled virtual PA
actually does for you

The most common question we hear is: "What exactly would a virtual PA do for me?" The answer depends entirely on your household — but the list below covers what our most placed virtual PAs manage on a typical week for professional families across Surrey and Sussex.

The value is not in any one task. It is in the consistent, professional, reliable management of the accumulated administration that otherwise sits, unresolved, on the edge of your life.

01

Diary management

Managing your calendar across personal, family and professional commitments. Protecting your time, flagging conflicts, and ensuring nothing is missed or double-booked.

02

Email and correspondence

Filtering your inbox, drafting replies, handling routine correspondence and ensuring that communications requiring your attention reach you — and nothing else does.

03

Travel and logistics

Researching, booking and managing travel — flights, hotels, transfers, restaurant reservations, itineraries — across all members of the household and at any level of complexity.

04

Supplier and contractor coordination

Managing quotes, scheduling works, following up on progress and holding contractors accountable — so that property and household projects happen without requiring your daily involvement.

05

Research and procurement

Finding the best option, at the right price, to your exact specification — whether that is a new school, a specialist insurance product, a gift, or a holiday.

06

Event and occasion management

Planning and coordinating celebrations, dinner parties, family occasions and private events — managing every supplier and detail so you arrive at the occasion, not the planning.

A PA placed through MyHome Lifestyles is not just a task manager

The PAs and administrators we place are household professionals — not office temps placed into a domestic environment. They understand the rhythm of a private home, the importance of discretion, and the particular kind of professional relationship that exists between a principal family and the people who support them.

We take as much care placing a virtual PA as we take placing a housekeeper or a nanny. The vetting is the same. The personal introduction is the same. The six-month replacement guarantee is the same. Because the relationship — and the trust involved — is just as significant.

Personally interviewed by our consultants before registration DBS checked — every candidate, every time Professional references contacted directly by us Five-year employment history confirmed in full Matched to your specific requirements — not selected from a list Personal introduction before the first day of work Six-month replacement guarantee included as standard NDA arrangements available where required

DBS check processed and verified

Every PA and administrator on our register holds a current DBS certificate. We process and verify this ourselves before any introduction is made.

We speak to previous employers and clients directly. For PA roles in particular, references are probed on discretion, professionalism and reliability — not just competence.

PA and admin placements across Surrey and Sussex

"

I needed someone to manage the administrative side of a busy household and a demanding professional life simultaneously. Alex understood immediately — and the virtual PA she placed is quite simply exceptional. My mornings are unrecognisable.

I suffer with health issues and needed help with housekeeping, cooking and general PA duties. Alex came and discussed everything with me. I felt very comfortable, trusted her completely, and she found exactly the right person to help with my daily life.
