Part-Time Personal Assistant for Busy Business Owner

Summary

Hello, my name is Sam. I run an online eCommerce company and my schedule is full. I'm looking for someone who's creative, quick, and eager to learn how to manage the admin and personal side of running a business - from day-to-day tasks to planning travel and family activities. WHAT YOU'D BE HELPING WITH - Research and recommendations: sourcing local services such as dentists or clinics, comparing options, and presenting a shortlist with prices and availability. - Travel planning: arranging flights, hotels, and activities at the destination. - Online ordering: placing grocery and household orders for delivery. - Activities and classes: researching and booking classes and activities, such as yoga sessions, for myself and family members. - Bookings and appointments: reserving restaurants, scheduling appointments, and managing confirmations. - General support: handling smaller tasks and follow-ups as they come up each week. HOURS AND WHAT THIS COULD BECOME This starts small - about 2 to 3 hours a day, sometimes less, depending on the week. The hours are flexible. What matters to me is that the work gets done well and on time. I'm hoping to build something long-term. If we work well together, this grows into more hours and can become a full-time role. I'd like to begin with a trial period and expand the role from there. WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR - Strong written English - you'll be communicating with me and, at times, with businesses on my behalf. - Solid research skills. Rather than a long list of links, I'd like your top three options with a clear recommendation and reasoning. - The ability to think a step ahead. If asked to book a restaurant, you'll also confirm it's open on that date. - Discretion when handling personal information. HOW TO APPLY If you'd like to apply, tell me about your past work experience and what you enjoy about this kind of work. Please start your message with the word "orange" so I know you've read this through.
