My So-Called Virtual Life: The Assistants Which Power Hunter Walk | Hunter Walk

Sometimes you just need an extra set of hands.... 

This is a screen grab from my Fancy Hands dashboard summarizing what they have done for me and how much time they've saved me. Fancy Hands is a virtual assistant service where you open a request with them (online, on the app, by email, or even by phone). That request is picked up by a real person ("assistant") who tires to address your request. As long as they can do your request online or by phone, and in English, they can usually help you. The Fancy Hands assistants can do things like schedule appointments (and add them to your calendar!), do research, make reservations, order things, etc. It's a subscription service that works out to about $5/task. And because you have an account with them, that alone makes asking them to help you easier because you can ask for things like "find an Italian restaurant near my home and make a reservation for 2 for 7pm" without having to specify where "home" is since they have that in your profile.

So far my favorite tasks that I've asked Fancy Hands to help me with include: 

Find me a reliable person to clean my apartment, and who is also willing to do other tasks and errands such as picking up/dropping off my laundry, buying groceries or sewing buttons on shirts (side note: they found me a perfect 'rent a mom' who I love almost as much as my actual mom!) 

Please look up all the white water rafting options within a two hour drive of Ottawa, Canada - please reschedule my dentist appointment to a time later next week when I have an open two hour window on my calendar 

Please call Friends of the Hudson River Parkway and ask them to send a copy of the tax receipt for my donation from last year
