The following has been edited for length and clarity.
I worked as a superyacht stewardess across Europe for over five years.
When I came back to the UK, I spotted a gap in the market where I could apply the experience I had gained working with high-net-worth individuals at sea to serving them on land.
I live near Salcombe, a beach town in the UK popular with wealthy people who travel here for vacation or to stay at their second homes.
The majority of my concierge clients are CEOs and entrepreneurs.
I try to remove as many decisions as possible for clients.
These are super busy people; they know what their time is worth, so they outsource what they can to spend valuable time with their family and their businesses.
My services could cost anywhere from $1,600 to $3,000 a month, depending on the number of hours I'm needed.
Rather than my clients having to find different suppliers for each task or different providers for each service, they can just come to me, and I arrange everything for them.
