Personal Assistance · Hawai‘i
The details of your life on the island, handled by one person.
Private. By referral. Non-medical.
Howdy! Here's a bit of what we discussed.
Aunt Kim — it's been a long time coming! I appreciate you, and I'm looking forward to helping you find more peace of mind going forward. This is just getting everything down on paper! We talked about $500 a month, with $150 an hour for anything extra. We'll figure out what you need handled each month, get it on a checklist and calendar, and make sure it's all taken care of.
Why this exists
It isn't the tasks — it's carrying them. The follow-ups, the decisions, the loose ends that need a sharp set of eyes while your attention is somewhere else. Perpetua is one person on the island who takes that weight off you — with the discernment to make the right call and the discretion to be trusted with it. Paid by you, answering only to you.
What you get — and what it costs
Your Right Hand
Your bandwidth back
$500/mo
monthly minimum · $150/hr
A business-owner-level problem-solver on your side for the advanced admin that eats time and attention — the things that need real discernment, run down and handled so they're off your mind, not just off a list.
- A standing block of senior help each month — the calls, the coordination, the decisions you don't have the bandwidth to chase.
- Discernment, not just hands — the kind of problem you'd otherwise have to solve yourself, thought through by someone who solves them for a living.
- One trusted point of contact, on the island, who already knows your situation — so "can you just handle this?" is a text, not a project.
- The heavier, more personal matters come in as we build trust — handled discreetly, and billed by the hour.
The point was never the hours — it's not carrying it. You hand off the thing that's sat on your list for three weeks, and it's simply done.
Keep It Running
You never think about the car
$300/mo
You get back, turn the key, and it starts — no warning lights, nothing dead, no surprises. The car you don't drive every day, kept ready and legal without a thought from you.
- Battery kept alive — on a maintainer and checked every visit, so it turns over the day you're back, not clicks and a tow.
- Tire pressure set every visit — held at spec and kept off the flat spots that come from sitting.
- Fuel system treatment — stabilised and run to temperature so the fuel never goes stale and gums up.
- Idle-car care — driven to operating temperature on a schedule; fluids kept moving.
- Kept legal while you're away — safety inspection, registration renewal, insurance mode, parking rules, all handled.
- A timestamped photo report every visit — odometer, battery, tire pressure, anything new.
- Maintenance oversight — intervals tracked, work scheduled and supervised (the repair itself billed separately).
- DMV and registration, safety-inspection handling, and the full new-to-island onboarding.
That's the whole promise: after weeks away, a clean dashboard and a first-turn start — because the battery, the tires, and the fuel never got the chance to fail.
Home Watch
Come home to no surprises · a standalone service
$1,200/mo
Your empty house, checked twice a week and documented every time — so you come home to it exactly as you left it, and if something did go wrong, your coverage still stands behind you.
- Water caught early — the #1 way an empty house becomes a five-figure repair. Under sinks, the water heater, and any leak or damp, every visit.
- A documented watch your insurer will honour — dated reports with photos. Most policies limit water, theft, and vandalism cover once a home sits empty ~30–60 days; a regular, documented watch is what keeps a claim payable.
- Damp & mould held off — AC and dehumidifier verified, odours caught early — the island's real enemy in a closed-up house.
- Storm-ready, then storm-checked — buttoned up before, walked after, so small damage gets reported before it becomes a denied claim.
- Pests, power & intrusion — droppings or chewed seals, a tripped breaker that kills the AC, a jimmied door — caught while they're small.
- Kept lived-in — mail and packages collected so the house never looks empty.
Twice a week is the difference between a leak you wipe up and a five-figure repair — and, just as often, between a claim your insurer pays and one they deny on a home left unwatched.
Add-ons & extras
Extra hands run $150 an hour — most jobs are about an hour. Where they go most:
- Arrival & departure days — you land to a cooled house, a stocked fridge, and a car washed, fueled and ready; you leave to a home closed up and secured.
- Seasonal open-up & close-down — your place woken before a long stay, and put to bed after you go.
- Errands & provisioning — groceries, prescriptions, dry cleaning, the house stocked before you arrive.
- Airport runs, guest pickups & rides to appointments — driven, non-medical.
- Waiting on the house — deliveries, contractors, installers and inspectors met, so you don't fly back for it.
- Guest & rental turnover — the home cleaned, reset and ready between visitors.
- Reservations, tickets & island logistics — for the days you're here.
- Tech that should just work — wifi, TV and the smart-home, set up and sorted.
- Pool, yard & the standing tasks around the property, kept up while you're away.
- Mobile notary, shipping & mailing runs.
Round-the-clock access
Reachable any hour, not only business hours — the base plans aren't 24/7, this is.
$500/mo
Terms
Billed monthly. Your Right Hand is a monthly minimum from $500 that reserves a set block of senior help; additional and one-off hours are $150. Taken on a quarterly or six-month basis — the longer term earns a preferred rate, including a reduced “away” rate for the months you're off-island. Home Watch is its own standalone service. Every arrangement is shaped to fit on a short call before anything begins.
And when the car needs the shopAuto & bike repair is part of Perpetua, too. Details at perpetuahawaii.com — added to any plan on request.
