My name is Grace. I am a Certified Personal Concierge, house manager, and visiting pet sitter. I am passionate about helping people get the most out of their lives in this busy and demanding world. Fluent in English, Spanish, and German, I have many years of experience as a professional translator. I have a B. S. in Biology. Having been self-employed for over three decades, I am highly organized and skilled at managing time. The Bay Area has been my home for over 35 years. I am based in the City of Alameda, just a few minutes from Oakland, Berkeley, Piedmont, and other major cities in the East Bay. I am an excellent researcher and creative problem solver. I offer companionship and chaperone services, including transportation to and from medical appointments, shopping, and errands. I am committed to providing highly personalized, professional services to meet my clients' needs. However, I do not provide hands-on care or housekeeping.
