Christina began working for us almost 9 years ago in a part time nanny role. It was clear to us that she was smart, talented, detail oriented and accountable, so her role with us evolved quickly into becoming a most valued personal assistant and household manager.
She is now responsible for managing the needs and maintenance related to our Chestnut Hill home and lake house in New Hampshire. Along with regular residence management, one of her most valuable contributions has been sourcing excellent household vendors such as home IT/network technicians, handymen, housekeepers and plumbers. Her vendors have always been reliable, trustworthy and most of all, provided excellent service and quality of task. Christina also manages some of our personal errands and tasks, such as travel, personal shopping, and other miscellaneous errands such as donation drop offs.
Because trust, privacy and safety are of the utmost importance to us and our three young children, we are extremely careful with who we allow into our home. We trust Christina wholeheartedly. We have given her access to all of our credit card and billing information, keys and codes to our homes and passwords. We have never doubted her integrity or loyalty to us and know that she treats our family and our homes with the utmost respect.
There has been no task too difficult or large for Christina to tackle. She is proactive, an excellent communicator, and once we have handed off a task to Christina, we know it will be executed flawlessly. She is diligent and persistent, and has excellent follow through. She is also a joy to work with. She is warm and personable and just a pleasure.
We could not recommend Christina and her services more highly. She is a gem!

Christina was referred to me by a close friend of mine who has also hired Christina as a personal assistant to their family. She was highly recommend and I now know why. When I was faced with the challenge of finding a new full time personal assistant, I needed to bridge the gap between one and the other. Christina was able to seamlessly fit the role. I hired her the first day we met.
Within 10 days I had to detail and plan a fundraising event. Christina was instrumental in pulling this off. I trusted she would take the pieces of information I had given her and run with it, and she did. We had excellent feedback and I wouldn't think twice about having her on board to plan another event with us. Another project Christina was able to assist with was my holiday gifting. She worked with my vendors directly and acted as if she had been doing this with me for years and years.
I eventually was able to find a full time assistant to fit the requirement of "an extension of me" - this is no easy task. I am a business owner, Mom to 3 energetic boys, wife, philanthropist, and of course enjoy attending fundraisers and social events from time to time. Although I have hired a full time personal assistant, Christina still remains part of our family and has already been in touch with my new assistant to speak about potential projects we can collaborate on.
If you have a short or long term need for a personal assistant, Christina is your girl!

Jonny Gomes, Professional Baseball Left Fielder, Formerly Boston Red Sox
Having to move a family of five is no easy task. When The Boston Red Sox recommended Christina to us in the Spring of 2013, just before we were about to move back to Boston from Spring Training, we decided to utilize her services.
Without having met her in person, we were able to feel confident through our ease in frequent communication that our home would be prepared and ready for us upon our arrival. Christina was able to greet vendors, movers, and property staff on our behalf. When we arrived, all that was left to do was relax in our freshly arranged home. Throughout our time in Boston, Christina helped us with personal shopping and home and organization projects.
It wasn't a few months before we were moving again. Christina jumped in and quickly organized a schedule with our moving team and vendors, allowing us to more easily re-establish our routine in California. Whatever personal tasks we were unable to accomplish, Christina took personal attention to, following through until each item had been addressed.
We would recommend Christina and her personalized services to any individual and/or household requiring a polished professional with extreme attention to detail.

We first met Christina in 2017 when we were settling into our new home and needed a complete household re-organization. Since then, we've utilized Christina to stay on top of our week to week closet organization since we are always on the go! Anytime we leave for a trip in a rush, we know Christina will be there to be sure everything is organized before our return. She has also helped us with packing and coming up with fun outfit ideas. If we're in need of a last minute item, Christina will do shopping for us as well. We would highly recommend Christina for her organizational services at the very least!
MOLLY FISCHER
Personal Assistant, Amy Schumer
I contacted Christina after learning we would be in Boston filming for over a month. Because we were staying in a hotel and knew we'd have minimal time to spend on any type of travel other than to and from the set, I inquired with Christina for private services to visit our room. She was able to provide references for a personal trainer, nail technician, masseuse, salon, and spa. Christina checked in with me frequently during our stay and I knew I could contact her with any questions I might have had during our time in Boston. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for our next visit!

Christina began working for us over one year ago as we were transitioning nannies for our 4 year old son. She was able to assist us last minute as a resource to make our transition seamless and smooth. She was introduced to us by close family friends who also use her services and we quickly understood why she was so highly recommended to us as she easily began to feel like family.
Christina took care of things such as grocery shopping, personal shopping, and vendor relationships. Being able to trust her with items such as meetings we would typically handle with building management as well as nanny and housekeeper scheduling, our free time was now able to be spent more enjoyably as a family.

We would like to offer our enthusiastic recommendation for Christina Kotseas. She epitomizes professionalism, work ethic, energy and dependability that are the cornerstones for any professional endeavor.
What first impressed us about Christina was her positive attitude and infectious energy. She can light up a room with her smile and pleasant demeanor. She has excellent prioritization skills and a keen eye for detail, all while approaching every day with a positive attitude and a plan in mind. We’ve seen Christina’s attitude have a direct, positive effect on our daughter’s development during her position with us as our nanny and household manager.
Christina has great attention to detail and proactively approaches her duties. Every day we returned from work to a clean home, dinner preparation completed, including a set dining room table for family dinner and fresh cut flowers. Christina is professional enough to take direction from us and act on it immediately and creative enough to find solutions for any situation. We have never asked her to do something twice.
We feel the most important characteristics are those that employers often overlook. Christina was raised in a strong family environment, fostering impeccable manners, etiquette and composure. These are often overlooked as “traditional” but they are crucial in a professional service environment. Christina also has common sense which, in our opinion, goes above and beyond experience. Finally, Christina cares for those who have welcomed her into their home, taking ownership for their well-being, health, happiness and development.
