Personal Services
Whether you are a private individual or a family, if your lifestyle involves demanding schedules and complex commitments, I offer a discreet, professional service tailored to your needs. It’s the personal touch that makes the difference – I do not offer a one-size-fits-all package.
I work regularly with high-net-worth French expats in London, and British families residing in Switzerland and France - managing everything from personal correspondence and property administration to French-language liaison and supplier coordination.
You could think of it as lifestyle support: I protect your time, get things done and fix many of the problems that you cannot find a home for.

Christelle has been working as my virtual assistant for some time now and has been consistently responsive, proactive and very reliable. Working in both French and English, she’s able to manage my personal affairs with great professionalism. She always acts in my best interests, I trust her implicitly and on several occasions, her attention to detail has contributed in real financial terms to my personal business ventures. Her support is invaluable and gives me peace of mind that the things I don’t have time to focus on are being taken care of. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
