    Frequently Asked Questions

    Answered by Standbyhelps

    A Standbyhelp is a flexible personal helper who steps in when you need an extra set of hands — whether it’s for household tasks, errands, support for loved ones, help during events, or even as a dependable companion while you’re out and about.

    Unlike a cleaner or PA with a fixed job description, a StandbyHelp is more like a lifestyle assistant who adjusts to your needs on the spot — from helping tidy up your space to holding your bags or prepping meals. One booking, multiple kinds of help.

    Anyone who needs practical, in-person support — busy professionals, parents, caregivers, elderly individuals, influencers, or anyone going through a hectic or demanding time.

    Tidy-ups, errands, light meal prep, organizing, childcare support, elderly companionship, help at events, hospital sitting, and more. Some Standbyhelps also bring extra skills like makeup, massage therapy, or hair styling — but those are bonus, not guaranteed.

    You can book for a few hours, half a day, a full day, or even recurring sessions depending on availability and your needs.

    No, they use what you provide on-site. They come ready to work with a can-do attitude and follow your direction - no drama, no fuss.

    That’s totally fine. Just book the time, and once your Standbyhelp arrives, you can walk them through whatever’s on your mind. They’re there to follow your lead and help you figure it out as you go.

    Not at all. StandbyHelps are great for on-the-go support — they can carry bags, run last-minute errands, manage event logistics, or simply be your calm, capable companion in busy settings.

    Each StandbyHelp goes through basic onboarding and is vetted for reliability, attitude, and helpfulness. While they aren’t certified professionals (unless specified), they’re chosen for being proactive, respectful, and trustworthy.

    Yes, if your previous StandbyHelp is available, you can request them again — especially helpful if you want consistency for recurring needs.

    Why Standbyhelps?

    Because sometimes, you just need someone there — not a full-time assistant, not a stranger off the street, but a capable, friendly person who can jump in, follow your lead, and lighten your load without making things complicated.

    On-demand and personal

    Standbyhelps are there with you, not just for you, offering hands-on help exactly when and where you need it.

    Flexible for emerging needs

    From folding laundry to sitting with your mum at the hospital, they adjust to your needs without complaining.

    Supportive, not intrusive

    Standbyhelps don’t take over; they rather stand by you — ready, respectful, and quietly relieving you.

    • -------------------------------------------
    • Jump into the Kitchen Assistant role, handling bulk cooking errands so you can finish much faster than usual
    • -------------------------------------------
    • Switch into Housekeeper mode; cleaning the home, making beds, folding laundry, and such
    • -------------------------------------------
    • Then head out with you as your On-the-Go Assistant, managing errands and carrying bags for you
    • -------------------------------------------
