While working an oilfield job in 2014, Jennifer Hebert said her plate was full.

She had a million things to do and only a little bit of time to get it all done.


“It dawned on me that I needed a personal assistant,” she said.

Looking around her, Hebert said she noticed that a lot of other people had the same problem – too many tasks on the to-do list and only 24 hours in a day to get them done.

That was when The Busy Bee Transportation and Concierge Services was born.


With its roots planted in 2014, the Thibodaux-based business is focused on giving locals more time to relax in their busy, hectic schedules.

Hebert said the business has grown since its beginning, now possessing an all-encompassing array of tasks designed to raise one’s quality of life and overall happiness.

The company’s website said the business’s goal is to identify the need for quality time in life, while also allowing locals to seek balance and simplicity in one’s professional, social and home life.


Hebert said the work is fulfilling because every, single task involves working closely with people and helping them find happiness in their lives.

“It’s fulfilling,” Hebert said. “Every day, it is.”

Busy Bee does just about everything to make life easier.


The company has a staff of friendly, dedicated employees who strive to make the client’s life as easy as possible.

Have to work late and don’t want to run those pesky errands? Hebert said Busy Bee can do that without one ever needing to leave the house.

The company also is capable of handling grocery stops, dry cleaning drop off and pick up, package prep and shipping, post-office trips, pharmacy trips, taking items for repairs and the purchasing of basic home and office supplies – the stuff folks otherwise wouldn’t look forward to doing if they had to take care of it themselves.


The company also offers a wide range of transportation services, including trips to and from the airport or a cruise, as well as special events like weddings, prom, graduations or even a doctor’s appointment.

Need a designated driver? Hebert said Busy Bee can do that, too, offering transportation services for folks who plan to go out on the town.

“We do transportation to and from casinos and restaurants,” Hebert said. “We run errands. We do really anything in between.”


Hebert said what makes the Busy Bee work is the willingness of the company’s staff to do the work necessary – all with a smile.

According to Busy Bee’s website, the company also specializes in event planning and can help locals plan their holiday parties, company gatherings, birthday parties and even surprise affairs.

The ability to do those types of things, while offering such a wide range of services, Hebert said, has been vital to the company’s early success.


The business has a fleet of vans and trailers, which can carry more than a dozen passengers at a time, including luggage.

“I feel that the reason we’ve been a success is because of the wonderful team I’ve put in place,” Hebert said.

So with a great start in its inaugural years, Hebert said Busy Bee is looking to continue to build its hive, so to speak, planning to expand further throughout Lafourche and Terrebonne and even beyond.


Hebert said the transportation area of the business is one spot where she thinks additional growth can be achieved.

The business aims to expand its automobile fleet in the future to meet those needs that locals have.

“We plan to add additional transportation services,” Hebert said. “We want to do so throughout the Tri-parish area.”


Because after all, Hebert said the company is providing locals something that is invaluable and can never be replaced: time.

She said she’s grateful for the community support Busy Bee has received, adding that it’s, been joyous to be able to make locals’ lives easier through the company – something she hopes can continue into the extended future. •
