Hiring a personal assistant isn’t a luxury.
It’s a necessity for anyone who… is juggling a lot, has tons of demands on their time, and constantly finding themselves saying ‘there’s never enough time’.
The mental load is real. Between coordinating family schedules, managing household tasks, keeping up with work demands, and trying to maintain some semblance of personal time, something always falls through the cracks & you feel like you can’t keep up any longer!
Those unopened emails pile up. The constant requests from work. The kids' permission slips get signed at the last minute. The lack of self-care (yes, you deserve to take care of yourself!). You have to travel for work next week. And that nagging feeling that you're forgetting something important? It never goes away.
You don't need another app or productivity hack. You need actual hands-on support from someone you can trust.

“Shayla is part tech-savvy genie, part life counsellor, part unflappable secretary. She manages my calendar, monitors my email, handles contractors, runs errands, buys gifts, and gently pushes me through the tasks only I can do.”
Life is SO MUCH BETTER for me, my family, and my business since Shayla came into my life! As a mother with ADHD, a career I love, and a workaholic spouse, I was drowning in the relentless tiny-but-many tasks of family life — and terrified my kids' childhoods would be remembered for the wrong things.
Shayla is part tech-savvy genie, part life counsellor, part unflappable secretary. She manages my calendar, monitors my email, handles contractors, runs errands, buys gifts, and gently pushes me through the tasks only I can do. Her approach is perfect for someone with ADHD: holistic, non-shaming, and realistic — just three tasks a week, and a morning and evening text so nothing slips through the cracks.
The level of care she brings is extraordinary. I once mentioned offhandedly that I'd like a tattoo of my daughter's drawing someday. Days later, she'd researched the process, found an artist, and booked the appointment.
Most importantly, she's the calm voice reminding me that I'm not failing — I'm just doing a lot. I recommend Shayla wholeheartedly and with deep gratitude."
