For professionals, there never seems to be enough time to get everything done that needs to be done, outside of the office. There have been many times when I have worked 50+ hour weeks, leaving many household chores and other responsibilities unattended. I have (halfheartedly) joked with coworkers about the need for an office "gopher," who would be responsible for taking care of things that required attention, but the job made very difficult. Hell, we had an "office runner." Why couldn't the runner pick up my dry cleaning on his way back to the office? How about have my car cleaned, or filled with gas?
This service could be like a Molly Maid operation (or an expansion of the original concept), where people who were not necessarily skilled could work part or full time, fulfilling the needs of busy people.
I wouldn't need to know the person too well, so long as he or she had good credentials, and probably carried insurance, etc. I already place trust in complete strangers when I leave my car with them for service. This wouldn't have to be any more scary.
Services might include...
(This list could grow quite large!)
Laundry or Dry Cleaning
Housecleaning
Auto Registration
Auto Maintenance
Auto Cleaning
Auto Fueling
Food Preparation / Service
Home Services (Landscaping, Pool, etc.)
(These services could be handled like property managers or condominium owners. Virtual Valet wouldn't have to actually perform the service, though they could. All that would really be required is that they make sure that the work was taken care of.)
The service could be like the game, The Sims, in which one simply needs to pick up the phone to call a baby sitter or housekeeper, solving a problem of time. Call Virtual Valet, then go do the thing which is really requiring your attention, whatever it be!
