Personal In-Person Or Virtual Assistant For Two Entrepreneurs
job description
About the Family
We, a husband and wife, reside a half hour outside of Dripping Springs, TX, or a little under an hour outside of Austin with our four and two year old sons. We are business owners of virtual companies and we both work from home. We are looking for support in managing our household and various personal, community, and business projects.
In-Person vs. Virtual
We would prefer someone who can come out every week or two to better help with physical paperwork and to better understand our household projects, including a current home renovation project.
Job Description
The primary functions of the role are virtual. These include research (paperwork, reviews, products, vendors, etc.), online purchasing (travel, household orders, gifts, clothing etc.), vendor calls, calendar management, pre-processing emails, minor website maintenance, document management, and other things of this nature.
The secondary functions of the role are in-person. These include taking inventory of household items, handling paperwork, organization projects, errands like returning packages and minor tidying. The role does not include cleaning, childcare, home maintenance, or the like.
We would ideally find someone who can come in person once every week or two but are open to any virtual applicants in North America.
