What They Are Saying

"I highly recommend Pamela Vandervort as a high-end estate property manager. Pamela meticulously manages our 20-acre property in Santa Ynez, California for over four years with a keen eye for detail and efficiency. The scope of her management includes the main house, guest houses, and a barn. We also maintain three acres of Olive groves, which we harvest, crush, bottle and sell under private label. Pamela works with our olive grove manager and local vendors to ensure harvest, bottling, and selling of the oil. We are seasonal occupants, so it is essential that we have someone we can trust to oversee the property to ensure the property is being maintained. Pamela has the skills and more one would want in a property manager intelligence, honesty and a total commitment to her client’s well-being."

"It is so great to know that we can always contact Pamela to get things done with my home in Santa Barbara. Most maintenance issues are addressed without us even being involved and I am always able to see the complete reports if ever I have a question, Additionally, she takes care of anything we might need in terms of cleaning, shopping, or preparation of the home before coming for visit. I pay one monthly bill – and it’s done! I would also add she is a graceful, warm and beautiful person. I would hire her full time, hands down if I lived in CA full time."

“Pamela was incredibly supportive not only for our principal client but also of the household staff as a team. Ms. Vandervort’s  responsibilities included being a liaison between the household staff and our client as well as the vendors and service providers for the estate. During this time the property has been on the market for sale, requiring an extra degree of attention and care.

Ms. Vandervort has impressed me time and time again with her ability to professionally deal with the many personalities and issues that come along with a client and property of this stature. It has been a pleasure to have her lead our team knowing that the level of care and responsibility that she brought to her position was a support to all of us. I have an incredible amount of respect for her work ethic, professionalism and dedication for her work. I can wholeheartedly recommend Pamela Vandervort.”

“I hired Pamela Vandervort to assist my wife of 60 years, Muriel, in managing our household and property. She oversaw our estate managing service providers and so forth. She assisted us with various household tasks including calendaring, transportation, grocery shopping and meal preparations, and she also provided increasing personal care for Muriel as her condition worsened. She played a critical role in Muriel's medical care by coordinating and communicating with health providers, keeping a detailed health log and administering medication. Pamela understood the problems my wife experienced and worked hard to ease the medical issues that were diagnosed. She lovingly encouraged Muriel to do as much she could and asked what her needs were rather than simply taking charge which would have neglected her feelings.

Loving communication is one of Pam's strengths and was vitally important since Muriel's diagnoses brought anxiety and fear issues. The time during which Pamela was in our employ was a delightful experience and a rewarding one. She is a lovely, kind woman and became an important part of our lives.

I will always be grateful to Pam for her loving kindnesses to both of us. She has become an extended part of our family, providing me with recommendations since leaving my employ, Therefore, I heartily recommend Pamela Vandervort as a most capable and loving Caregiver for the elderly as well as a diligent and trustworthy Property Manager/ Personal Assistant. She truly has a great heart and a strong work ethic.” 

“To Whom It May Concern:

It is a true pleasure for me to write this letter of recommendation for Pamela Vandervort, who had been employed by three of my patients over the past decade in the capacity of a primary caregiver and/or the House Manager/Personal Assistant. Pamela displays ethical behavior at all times and is a professional who clearly strives to excel in her work, which sets her apart from the rest. Pamela maintains her poise even when facing a difficult situation and is calm and patient at all times.  One patient had advanced dementia and was a difficult task, but Pamela was devoted to her clients, providing much-needed companionship and conversation and was always compassionate, treating them with dignity.  Despite medical emergencies and other unpleasant surprises, she remains calm and thinks logically.  She carefully notes instructions so that mistakes will not endanger the safety and well-being of her clients.  Her competence inspires confidence, easing uncertainties, and I truly believe that her eagerness to help make the lives of her clients much smoother.

Pamela is well dressed, polite and well-spoken whether she is interfacing with my staff therapists or business office personnel which is an important component of her professional behavior.  She explains problems well and is tenacious in pursuit of the interests of her clients. I highly recommend Pamela and I believe that she is completely capable of providing exceptional service and care – as well as much needed companionship. If there is anything else that you need to know about Pamela please feel free to contact me.”
