Welcome to my website!

Hi I am Birdie and the founder of Birdie Family Personal Assistant.

I was inspired to create the company after finding my peace through organisation and order.

For so many years I lived life in total chaos.  Not because I wanted to but through circumstances.  For years I was a single mum and balancing raising a child with full time work and running a house I was absolutely frazzled!  In my job I was super organised and never dropped a ball so I think it may have been feeling I couldn’t be expected to do it everywhere!  I HAD to do it for work, surely no one expected that from me at home too?

When I got to the end of the list I would realise I had made another one and the ‘jobs to do’ seemed never ending.  I was always conscious of dropping one of the many balls I was juggling and quite often I would forget something or miss something.

I remember the moment things changed.  I had a long cry about something I had missed and realised I just couldn’t continue.  Some people are natural at being able to manage the demands of modern life, but for me it really was a struggle.  I started simple.  I got a structure and slowly but surely life seemed to get some order.

At first it was simple things.  Preparing a list of family and friends birthdays and buying presents well in advance ensuring I would never be the one who was embarrassed because yet again I had dropped a ball and had to send a belated birthday card!

Then I took an hour every Sunday night to prepare a meal plan for the week.  I would write a shopping list of everything I would need for the week including lunches and breakfast options.  I also started a ‘back up’ box.  Washing up liquid, toilet rolls and essentials to make sure we never ran out of the important bits.  Just these simple measures gave me a little more peace of mind.

Slowly this level of organisation crept into every aspect of my life and I realised I was happier, more content and actually really proud of myself.  My tidy house, organised calendar and general organisational world had improved my mental health and I felt accomplished.

Over years others noticed my skills too and I began to implement these things for those around me too.  The sense of pride I gained by helping others really gave me the confidence to eventually launch Birdie.  Birdie is designed not to shame or embarrass people but to say to people ‘I get it’.  Life runs away us and there are so many demands on our time these days how can we be expected to do it all?  My aim is to help you to help yourself.  By organising, decluttering and tidying you will reduce your stress levels and feel accomplished.  By giving you not only structure but the confidence to take control of your own life.  Some may say how can a bit of cleaning and scheduling make that much of a difference? I get the scepticism but please try it!  You will not regret it!

Our range of services is extensive and not all will be relevant to you.  But if you are felling lost and just need that push then please get in touch.  I guarantee you will not regret it!
