Our Story
Life can feel like a never-ending list. We know because we've lived it to. Drowning in life admin whilst trying to organise the kids, get everyone to their classes, stay on top of the finances, look your best, don't forget a single appointment or birthday, whilst working or caring for parents .... and breathe ...
The Big Little Things was born from a simple idea: sometimes you don't need a life overhaul, you need an extra pair of hands.
We believe that taking care of the little things can make a BIG difference. Because sometimes you don't want to spend precious time on the chores of life. You want to LIVE it and spend it with the people that truly matter.
And that's where we come in.
Meet Emma - Director & Founder of The Big Little Things
"Zero judgement is so important to me. This isn't because anyone is incapable of doing the little things, it's because there are more important things in life to be doing! So why not let someone else do them"
I'm Emma! Mother of two beautiful kids under the age of 5 and for over 20 years an experienced hospitality manager in a local popular chain.
Customer service is something i've lived by since i could start working. Im passionate about people and I care about supporting those who need help. I was one of those people for so many years especially since my little ones came along. I struggled with post natal depression & drowned in life admin and trying to work and provide for my family whilst being the best version of 'mum' i could be! Did i do all the little jobs that needed doing? yes ... just. But i also burnt out, suffered from stress and anxiety and in this world life can just feel relentless.
The Big Little things for me is a lifeline for those people who are to busy or just need a pair of welcoming hands to assist them in life & companionship. Some people don't have a village to rely on and so I want to help you with that.
Friendly, trustworthy & empathetic and always happy to help wherever I can. If i can make your day then that's what i intend to do! I just wish i had been able to use a service like this for myself when i needed it.
Meet Veronika - Director & Founder of the Big Little Things
“Sometimes you don’t need to do more. You just need a little more help”
Hi, I’m Veronika,
I’m a mum, a problem-solver, and probably someone who finds it quite difficult to sit down when there’s something that needs doing!
I’ve spent most of my working life in busy environments, with the last several years working in hospitality management. It’s taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic, organise just about anything, deal with the unexpected and somehow keep everything moving.
But outside of work, I’m just like you.
I’m a mum trying to juggle family, work, the house, appointments, school things, birthdays, shopping and all the little jobs that seem to appear from nowhere. Some days I’m completely on top of everything, and other days the laundry is winning.
And that’s exactly why this business felt so right.
I know how good it feels when someone takes something off your list. Not because you can’t do it yourself, but because sometimes there simply aren’t enough hours in the day.
I’m naturally practical and organised, and I genuinely enjoy getting things sorted, creating order from chaos and making life feel a little easier. So creating a business around doing exactly that for other busy families felt like a very natural step.
Outside of work, most of my time revolves around my family and my little girl, Maeve. Life is busy, messy, funny and sometimes completely chaotic and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I’m really excited to be building this business with Emma and creating something that comes from a very simple idea:
Sometimes you don’t need to do more. You just need a little more help.
