Five Delegation Styles
Investing in support at home is extremely personal. Everyone has different budgets, preferences, and delegation styles. After talking with hundreds of parents, we were able to identify five main personality types in relation to hiring help. We call this your delegation style, and it applies to both the physical "doing" and outsourcing the mental "thinking."
Do-It-Yourselfers
Do-It-Yourselfers have little to no interest in hiring help at home or delegating tasks out to an expert to complete. They prefer to research and complete tasks independently and in their own way. They are known for this quality - being self-sufficient and getting sh*t done. Sure, it may take them more time, mental space, and energy, but the fulfillment of each task brings them joy. Checking something off their to-do list is a daily win.
And we love that for you!
However, there is always that occasional need for a party planner, babysitter, pet groomer, or miscellaneous task you want to offload. These one-off home services often take the most time to research since you are not doing it regularly. Thankfully, sourcing the best professionals and services is what we do everyday through Ask Proxy™: a personal AI assistant by text.
Savers
Savers always put financial savings ahead of their time savings. Their family’s financial goals are top priority. A saver will maximize their 401K contributions on every paycheck and save well past “comfort” because saving means you’re prepared for anything. Even if there is extra income to spend on making their lives easier, it’s difficult for them to invest in hiring help for a job that they could do themselves. It gives them great joy to know they are stockpiling for retirement and have a rainy day fund that can handle any situation life might throw at them.
We love to save too! Don’t forget that our service is here to help source the best professionals at the best price. Even if you don't hire help, having a personal AI assistant like Ask Proxy™ thinking ahead can protect your time.

Taskers
Taskers have the finances to invest in home services, but don’t know how or where to start. The idea of hiring, training, and managing help at home feels like it would take longer than just getting it done on their own. Having someone else in their space seems intimidating and uncomfortable. Ultimately, they are overwhelmed and want more support, but have not made any moves yet to hire help.
You’ve come to the right place! Ask Proxy™ is a personal AI assistant by text that can pinpoint the exact tasks that don’t need to be done by you personally. Ask Proxy not only spell out exactly what you need to delegate - and to who - but it also proactively thinks ahead about the mental load to help protect your time.
Delegators
Delegators are accustomed to delegating tasks at work and have brought that skill into the home too. They love efficiency and have already identified which tasks are not the best use of their time and tasked those out to others. But they are struggling with the management of their support team, and wish they knew how to delegate more effectively at home. Delegators are aware that they are spending their time and energy inefficiently and want to be more informed.
Oh, have we got your back on this. With Ask Proxy™ you have access to unlimited text support that can help you with all your management issues. Not sure how to have a hard conversation with your nanny? We will guide you.
There is also the possibility that you may have simply hired the wrong person or utilized an inefficient service. Start a conversation with Ask Proxy by text and we'll give you a straight answer, plus we'll start thinking ahead to protect your future time and joy.
Leaders
Leaders trust experts more easily and naturally delegate low-joy tasks because they know that in order to 'have it all', they can’t 'do it all'. They are the ultimate Peacock Parent and view their time as currency, and want to spend it wisely. Time outside of work is spent on quality time with family and friends, not wasted on tedious tasks that drain them.
We’re so glad you’re here! Ask Proxy™ speaks your love language and will always respond with one clear, actionable next step. Our goal is to get you from thought to action, faster.
