Stewardship Care
The work is carried out through structured half day morning sessions. Each session moves through the active list in order — completing what can be done immediately, advancing what needs follow-up, and updating what comes next. When something doesn't get done in a session it carries forward automatically to the next. Over time, if the list consistently outgrows the session, we have a conversation about stepping up the schedule. That decision is always mutual and always a commitment from both sides.
Additional work is available when something grows beyond the scope of a session and needs to be handled right away.
The List
At the centre of the service is a living list we collaborate on — repairs, maintenance, seasonal tasks, observations, and concerns. The homeowner can access it online at any time, add items, remove them, or shift priorities. Changes made by the night before a session are incorporated into the next visit.
The list also carries a growing set of seasonal and recurring items that populate automatically — furnace filters, weatherproofing checks, annual maintenance tasks. These get handled without the homeowner having to remember them. Over time the list gets smarter. The service builds on itself.
I have a wide range of skill so you can add everthing that comes up. Some work may need to be done by specialized trades and I manage their quotes and work. Items get checked off and recorded when completed.
Scheduled Arrivals
I work with clients who commit to a regular session schedule. This consistency is the foundation of home stewardship. Rather than reacting to problems as they arise, we make steady progress over time.
Sessions are four hours and take place on a set day each week, every two weeks, or monthly. This allows us to move thoughtfully through different areas of the home while advancing both immediate needs and longer-term projects.
I arrive on time for every scheduled session. With a standing schedule in place, there is no need to coordinate each visit—we simply meet at the agreed day and time. This creates a steady, reliable rhythm to the work and removes the ongoing back-and-forth common with typical service work.
Continued Care
Monthly Session
- A steady baseline of care
- Keeps the home current and nothing accumulating
- Well suited to homes in good condition with a manageable list
- The right starting point for most new clients
Bi-Weekly
- A closer level of attention
- Suits homes with more active lists or ongoing projects
- Allows faster movement through priorities
- A natural step up from monthly when the list grows
Weekly
- Continuous support for more on the List
- Suited to periods of significant change — a health event, a major transition, an extended period of higher need
- Can be temporary, stepping back down when the period passes and availability allows
Session Structure & Pricing
Stewardship is delivered through scheduled half-day sessions. Each session is $300 and is designed to allow steady, focused progress within the time available. I work through priorities efficiently, aiming to complete what is most important or naturally fits within each visit.
When work extends beyond a session, or when a larger task requires additional time to complete properly, it may continue at $75 per hour. This only happens with clarity and agreement, when it is the most practical way to complete the work at hand.
The intention is always to work within the scheduled session first, using time effectively and with respect for the homeowner’s priorities, so that additional time is the exception rather than the expectation.
