Straightforward pricing. No surprises.

I believe you should know what you're paying before we get started.

Most Maine Lifestyle Concierge services are billed at $70 per hour, with a 2-hour minimum.

Whether you need help for two hours or an entire day, we'll talk through what you need beforehand so you know what to expect.

My Time

$70/hour

2-hour minimum: $140

Your service time begins when I arrive and ends when we complete the scheduled service.

Some larger projects and events may be quoted at a flat rate based on the scope of work. You'll always receive your pricing upfront.

Travel

I’m happy to travel throughout Southern Maine and beyond. To keep things simple, travel fees are based on the approximate drive time from Cape Elizabeth.

0–30 minutes : $20 travel fee

30–60 minutes : $40 travel fee

Over 60 minutes : Available by request and quoted before booking.

Travel fees are separate from service hours and discussed with you before your appointment is confirmed.

Additional Expenses

Some projects may involve costs beyond my service fee. These could include organizational products, event supplies, décor, delivery fees, parking, admission fees, or other materials. 

I will always seek your approval before making any purchases or adding expenses to your invoice. There will be no surprise charges, so you won’t have to worry about unexpected costs.

Unsure of what you need?

That's okay.

You don't have to figure out which service to book or how many hours you'll need.

Tell me what's on your plate. I'll help you figure out the rest.
