We are two hard-working and passionate female executives running a technology startup in San Francisco. We are in search of a fantastic part-time Personal Assistant who can help us better manage our personal lives.
SCHEDULE: Part-time, 2 dedicated days per week (e.g., Thursdays and Fridays), with 1 day dedicated to each person on most weeks.
COMPENSATION: $300 per day ($600 per week), but open to discussing format
LOCATION: based out of our homes in San Francisco. Likely 1 day in Russian Hill neighborhood, and 1 day in Pacific Heights neighborhood per week.
TIMEFRAME: We’d like to start with a 3 month commitment to try out working together. However, our goal is to have a long term, trusted & happy working relationship! We will likely have an opportunity to evolve into a full-time Personal Assistant or Home Manager role over time, should that be interesting to you!
The ideal candidate for this role is highly organized, extremely reliable, and finds satisfaction in anticipating the needs of others and helping things run smoothly. He or she is comfortable cleaning and organizing, running errands, and cooking. Bonus if you love dogs as well!
If organizing someone’s pantry sounds like a good time to you, you could be a good fit.

- Walking the dogs or taking them to vet and grooming appointments
The job is active, but should not be physically demanding. You should be comfortable carrying packages, setting up a ladder, and driving. If you do not have a car, you may use mine as needed.
