Ask HN: I’d like to hire a personal/executive assistant – any tips or advice?
I found my personal assistant on Craigslist. Very happy I found her. I put up a simple posting, ‘computer programmer seeking personal assistant’. Turns out she was tired of being an au pair and decided this would be a better fit. It’s really life changing. I highly recommend it. She pays my bills, responds to emails, cleans up the apartment, walks my dog, manages grocery shopping and occasionally cooks, etc. It’s not that different from what I imagine having a stay-at-home wife was like in the 1950s, except she leaves every evening.
