February 6, 2025
I am writing to express my interest in the Personal Household Assistant position listed on LinkedIn.
With almost 20 years of experience managing luxury homes and vacation properties, coordinating high-profile events, and providing personal support to HNWI and families, I have honed the skills necessary to seamlessly oversee the operations of a sophisticated household.
In my previous roles as an Estate Manager and Personal Assistant, I successfully managed properties in dynamic environments, including Manhattan and Montauk. My responsibilities included supervising household staff, coordinating with contractors, and overseeing large-scale renovations—all while ensuring discretion and attention to detail. Beyond property management, I have a proven ability to anticipate the needs of Principals, whether arranging complex travel itineraries, planning events, or managing expenses.
Key highlights of my expertise include:
• Recruiting and managing teams of household staff to maintain optimal operations.
• Coordinating luxury travel for multi-member households.
• Managing budgets and negotiating vendor contracts to assure competitive pricing.
My approach is rooted in proactive problem-solving, discretion, and a commitment to excellence, and I attribute a good deal of this to a military upbringing and years spent in the hospitality industry in San Francisco, prior to arriving in New York City. I thrive in environments requiring multi-tasking and quick thinking and problem solving, under tight deadlines. I pride myself on maintaining a calm demeanor in high-pressure situations. Additionally, my proficiency in technology, including Apple products and Microsoft Office, enables me to efficiently manage operations and communications.
I am excited about the opportunity to bring my expertise to a new position.
I would welcome the chance to discuss how my skills and experience align with the needs of the position. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience at 917-412-4411 or bobmikulenka1@gmail.com.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your team.
Sincerely,
Bob Mikulenka
