who is sherah?
Sherah is a community of women supporting women. We are an innovative family assistant service that is empowering moms and revolutionizing how to run a busy family today.
Our assistants - who are moms too - support our members and one another to get everything done that it takes to run a family and not feel burned out doing it alone. And in turn, our members support our assistants in helping them have flexible, meaningful work that supports their families.
We understand the challenges of juggling work, kids, running a household, making time for yourself and friends, and dropping as few balls as possible. It feels impossible some days, so we created Sherah so that moms no longer feel like they're having to do it all alone.

Founder
mom quits job to keep others from quitting their jobs
Sherah was started by Kristin Richardson after she spent over 25 years in marketing, including over 10 years in the C-Suite while raising two girls and keeping work and home afloat like all moms.
She knows first-hand how hard it is to hang in there and rise up in your career while feeling happy and healthy. When she realized what she needed was to clone herself, she set out to make the next best thing to help herself and ultimately all women. She tried other virtual assistant companies first, but no one understood her local market, could take on the breadth of her task list, or run errands in person.
Samantha Preddy has been with Sherah from the very beginning building our systems and processes to best support even our earliest members and assistants.
As a mom of three and a licensed counselor, she brings the perfect balance of keeping everything running while also keeping both our members and assistants feeling supported.

Samantha and Kristin first met years ago as moms at the same preschool.

Director of Operations
Sherah is now a community of 14 assistants with 32 children supporting almost 100 members. We're multitasking, organized moms who know first-hand how to get your to-do list done!
​
From teachers and counselors to nurses and graphic designers, from MBAs and JDs to RNs and LPCs, our assistants are highly educated, highly experienced, professional assistants and moms who care about supporting other women and families.
