Pay Range: $20–$25 per hour (1099 Contractor)
Start Date: Immediate
About the Role
I own multiple small businesses - a real estate brokerage, a small business consulting company, and several hair salons - and I'm seeking a highly competent,
proactive Personal Assistant. This role will involve both administrative and personal tasks. There is potential
for the position to become full-time and grow in scope and compensation based on performance and skill set.
Depending on the candidate's strengths and interests, responsibilities could be divided in one of two ways:
1. Salon-Focused (75% Salon, 25% Personal Tasks)
- Primarily working at the front desk of a hair salon.
- Checking guests in and out, handling payments.
- Basic cleaning (sweeping floors, doing laundry, cleaning bathroom, taking out trash).
- Stocking shelves, organizing supplies, and maintaining a welcoming salon environment.
- Personal errands or administrative tasks when salon duties are lighter.
2. Personal-Assistant-Focused (25% Salon, 75% Personal/Admin Tasks)
- Limited front desk work at the salon (could be backup or fill-in when needed).
- A greater emphasis on administrative, personal tasks, and errands, such as sorting receipts, data entry,
organizing records, researching topics (finding vendors, comparing prices), running personal errands
(dry cleaning, returns, grocery shopping), light housekeeping or organization projects (home office,
car detailing), and supporting business-related admin (appointment setting, calling vendors, scheduling).

This role could start as part-time (with potential for more hours) and may evolve into full-time depending on
business needs and your performance.
Compensation & Growth
- Hourly Rate: $20–$25 per hour (1099 Contractor), depending on experience and skill set.
