Thanks everybody for the feedback and suggestions.
As noted by Minh Nguyen, personal services can include any professional
practice, including school assistance, accounting, law or going with
grand'ma to the market.
In order to go ahead, I am going back to my friends on the local
community to propose office=personal_service with personal_service=*
Thanks again.

Once again, we bump up against the reality of a worldwide project, with many different
cultures, attempting to squeeze particular meaning into a single tag. Look at Minh's
"around here" clarification (true, I'm near him). And once again, we find that
English can distinctly lack in its ability to convey to all what is sometimes only
adequate for some.
I agree with Graeme that craft=* is good for specific craft artists /
professionals, but its overlap with what attempts to be tagged in this thread
is poor. It might work to clarify in some edge cases (I might imagine
something like craft=tailor_on_call if you need such personal services), but in
general it seems an unhelpful overlapping tag.
Phil is correct that personal services and care are not the same thing.
For the purpose that Georges asks about, I agree that amenity=personal_service is likely better "migrated" to
something like office=personal_service, as amenity is a heavily-loaded, perhaps even over-loaded tag. You could
supplement office=personal_service with a craft=* tag, like craft=tailor or craft=gardening, though this does seem a
bit odd to me, as these seem more "established for the longer term" rather than the "once for today
only" that such a "personal_service" office might provide. But what do I know? In your culture, it may
be that people only want a gardener or a tailor for a day, and then are done. On the other hand, perhaps the office
establishes long(er)-term professional relationships with craftspeople and their clients who need professional services
(whether short-term or long-term), and that is the purpose of the personal service office.
I hope the replies in this thread are helpful, Georges.
