C'ville Entremom

If you are like me (a mother with 3 jobs .. four including the job of Mom), then you find that there are just not enough hours in your day.  This whole “sleep thing” becomes a big problem because you end up staying up until 1:00AM baking cupcakes for your kid’s class party or dare I say it???.. working!!  Well, ladies, I have found you more hours…  C’Ville Concierge and Errand Service!

C’Ville Concierge provides individuals and businesses with personal assistance.  C’Ville Concierge can be utilized for long term or short term projects.  Are you planning a big event?  Do you need your rooms organized?  Do you need help planning a move for your family?  Do you need someone to take your dog to the vet?  Do you need someone to wait for the cable guy?  Name just about anything you need help with and C’Ville Concierge is there for you!  C’Ville Concierge has several clients (know as “frequent followers”) who purchase Blocks of Time in 10 hour increments and recieve a discounted rate.  These clients use C’Ville Conceirge for tasks such as stocking suites at Scott Stadium on game day, house sitting while out-of-town, personal shopping or on-going clerical tasks.  C’Ville Conceirge doesn’t limit their services to just the Charlottesville area, they are a part of a “concierge network,”  so they are able to provide services elsewhere as well.  Quite often, they hear from a concierge in another state who needs them to assist one of their clients with something in or around the Charlottesville area.   Sue Battani, owner of C’Ville Concierge and Errand Service, finds it gratifying to successfully complete a task for a client via a long chain of communication.

Sue has held many jobs in corporate America, but always seems to find her way back to being a business owner.  Before C’Ville Concierge, she owned Before Baby (www.beforebaby.com).. an online maternity boutique.  It began with the idea to design and market maternity jewelry for moms-to-be  and grew into a full-scale on-line boutique selling pregnancy books, pillows, calendars and her jewelry.  After 9 years, Sue passed the torch and very soon after started C’Ville Concierge, which has been in business for 4 years.  Sue states that she feels a great satisfaction when, at the end of the day, she knows she has simplified her client’s lives so that they can “dream, love, laugh and live a life uncomplicated. ”

So how does Sue split her time between owning a high profile Charlottesville business and raising a family? This year it got a little bit harder because her daughter (Alexa, 18) ”flew the coop” to go to CNU.  When Alexa still lived at home, she often helped Sue by filling in when Sue’s other daughter (Olivia, 13) needed to be picked up from school or taken to extra curricular activities.  Sue says she misses having her own in-home assistant.  Sue also says that she is thankful for her husband (Ray) who is her partner in every respect.  She could never have started her business without him by her side from day one.
