What do you do?
Great question! We can fix small problems that get in the way of you doing what you care about most. If your kitchen is not working for you, the closets are too full, or you have a pile of receipts to submit for reimbursement, we can help.
Check our Offerings page for more ideas. If you have ideas not on that list, email us ( hello@betterthanrobots.com) to ask!
Are you a housecleaner/ gardener/ organizer?
We are not! We do not do jobs that require specialized licensing. What we can do is research specialists in those fields and get you a short list to reach out to.
Are you available for same day jobs?
We tend to book 1-2 weeks out, and our goal is to help you with non emergency tasks. For same day tasks, we recommend checking for same day availability on TaskRabbit or asking in your neighborhood Facebook group!
Why did you start this business?
Because we both have a range of skills and want to work with individuals, not a boss. Because being the friend you call to help is way more fun than working in retail or restaurants. Because we both have ADHD and would rather do a lot of your tasks in a day than work at one company.
Why should I hire you?
Because we’re awesome! We’re capable, fun to hang out with, and very very good at helping you without shame. We listen to what you need, then help you get that accomplished.
Will my mess be confidential? Are you laughing at me behind my back?
We will not share anything you don’t want shared. And the only laughing we’ll do is when we tell you stories of our own messes and struggles. We’re doing this because we understand that there is too damn much to do in modern life, and we all need help.
What are your rates?
We charge $60/hour for all our work, with a one hour minimum. If the task you have in mind doesn’t need an hour, you can batch tasks together. Tack on a return or donation that needs dropped off, or maybe we can tidy the junk drawer.
Some work (such as picture hanging) requires two people, and is billed at $120/hour. This enables us to do the work better, faster, and more safely.
Do you have a consultation fee?
We offer a free 15 minute virtual consultation for new clients where we’ll focus on chatting through your projects, asking for photos and dimensions where appropriate, and deciding with you when and how to do the work.
Are you insured?
We are a fully insured company with a Washington State business license.
