Hungry husband is in Vegas and most likely getting ready to live his Hangover Part I dream. Like this one. Of course, there is so much to do around the house. Laundry, cleaning, groceries, dishes. I started to day dream (very early this morning) about how wonderful it would be to have a personal assistant who can run my errands, pick up random things, hang out with me if I need company. Kind of like a Rent a Friend. And just as I was thinking about that, I got an email with this in the subject: "A Personal Assistant For the Day." How timely. It's called PA for A Day and you can hire a person to run around town for $20 bucks an hour. Each PA gets a background check so you don't have to worry about serial killers (I worry about that.) They'll do just about anything that you need as long as it isn't illegal and it doesn't involve kids. Sorry parents. Only unfortunate thing is, it is a service that's only available in New York City. Of course! Here is a list of things that they help with. I'm so envious.... I hate paying bills.... Ironically, I'd be fine with paying for a PA to pay them.
Our Personal Assistants are able to help with small and large tasks including:
- appointment and schedule keeping
- travel scheduling
- running errands
- book keeping and bill payment
- dog walking and sitting
- phone screening and message taking
- packing and unpacking for travel
- grocery shopping and meal preparation
- moving assistance
- note taking
- office or household management
- personal shopping and gift selection
- organizing meetings and parties
- event promotion and staffing
- creative support
- press material creation (releases, bios, media alerts and fact sheets)
- editing
- basic computer skills (e-mail, scheduling, typing, presentations)
- translation
- event planning
…and more
What a great idea right? Would you hire someone?
