Are you the kind of person who is exceptionally dependable, organized, and enjoys being the person others can count on?

We are seeking a Part-Time Personal & Household Assistant to provide ongoing support for a private individual who divides her time between 2 locations. This is a unique opportunity for someone looking for flexible, consistent part-time work and who enjoys taking ownership of the details that keep a home and personal life running smoothly.

The right person will become a trusted local point person in Manhattan. While many of the responsibilities are straightforward, reliability is everything in this role. We are looking for someone who follows through, communicates proactively, exercises good judgment, and takes pride in being dependable.

This is primarily an in-person position based at a private residence in Upper West Side Manhattan, with some responsibilities that may be completed remotely. Due to the amount of access this person will have, the selected candidate will be required to complete a comprehensive background check and commit to the role for a minimum of two years.

Compensation & Schedule

$40–$50 per hour, depending on experience

This is a part-time position with a flexible schedule. A consistent weekly visit to the Manhattan residence will be required, with additional hours based on household projects, appointments, errands, and other needs.

The position has the potential to expand in both hours and responsibilities for the right person.

If you're highly dependable, enjoy organizing and taking care of the details, and are looking for flexible part-time work with a great deal of autonomy, we'd love to hear from you.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Visit the Manhattan residence approximately twice per week to water and care for 14 established plants

• Collect, sort, organize, and appropriately forward mail to the second location when needed

• Send important documents or correspondence to designated individuals, including professional advisors

• Serve as the local point person for apartment maintenance, repairs, and upgrades

• Meet contractors, repair professionals, or vendors at the residence when necessary

• Facilitate FaceTime or video calls during contractor visits so the homeowner can participate remotely

• Handle occasional personal errands and miscellaneous household needs

• Communicate proactively about anything requiring attention

• Keep track of open items and ensure tasks are completed rather than simply passed along

• Other miscellaneous personal/household tasks

For the right person, there is an opportunity for the position to grow over time and include additional personal and administrative responsibilities.

You may be a great fit if you are:

• Exceptionally reliable. If you say you'll be somewhere or handle something, it gets done. You will be required to sign a 2-year commitment.

• Clean background check.

• Organized and naturally attentive to details

• Comfortable working independently without needing significant oversight

• Proactive about communicating updates, questions, or potential problems

• Comfortable interacting professionally with contractors, vendors, accountants, and other service providers

• Able to exercise discretion when handling someone's home, mail, documents, and personal information

• Direct and honest in your communication

• Comfortable giving thoughtful feedback or raising a concern rather than simply saying what you think someone wants to hear

• Professional and able to maintain healthy boundaries within a long-term working relationship

• Looking for a stable, flexible part-time position rather than a traditional full-time role

• Located in Manhattan or close enough to Upper West Side Manhattan to make regular visits convenient
