FAQs

  • Personal assistants work with busy individuals to help them manage and streamline their lives (personal and/or business-related) versus a regular office assistant who reports to a office on a daily schedule to support exclusively company matters. Additionally, our personal assistants work on a part-time basis are are not salaried, full-time, or on-call positions. Just because you don't need help 24/7 does not mean you don't need a little assistance!

  • If you're here and considering it, you are. You can hire a personal assistant for as little as a few hours per week. We have no minimums or set plans.

  • This means our personal assistants aren’t freelancers who do one errand for you and are never seen again. They also aren't on-call, 24/7 career assistants that sit at a desk all day. Our personal assistants are part-time, but we hope to establish long-term working relationships between our clients and our assistants. Some weeks you may have several hours of work to unload, some weeks you may have only a few, and that’s OK! Because our personal assistants are independent contractors, they are comfortable with a flexible schedule.

  • Aren't you a celebrity in your own right? But, no. Personal assistants are not just for celebrities and CEOs! If you're busy, and find yourself wasting time on the little things instead of focusing on your business, your family, or YOURSELF (gasp!), then you could use a personal assistant!

  • We work with all sorts of clients in a variety of industries, including consultants, entrepreneurs, screenwriters, media executives, marketing experts, artists, lawyers, project managers, and small business owners. We are here for anyone who is busy and wants to relieve some of the pressure of their never ending to-do list.

  • We place personal assistants for private individuals and busy professionals rather than for specific industries. Our candidates have varied experiences, so we are able to match you with candidates who have the appropriate experience for your position. Clients of The Middle are in a variety of industries, including (but not limited to) consultants, artists, executives, engineers, interior designers, entrepreneurs, and influencers.

  • The Middle places part-time personal assistants in Los Angeles and New York City. See all of the locations we serve.

  • The Middle’s personal assistants are all based in either Los Angeles or NYC, and can be available for in-person or remote support. We are not a virtual assistant company, but our assistants are happy to work entirely remote, if that is what works best for you!

    On other platforms, virtual assistants cost a monthly flat fee with a minimum and maximum number of hours. “Virtual” (remote) personal assistants with The Middle have no minimum hourly requirement, and our remote assistants charge $25-30/hr.

  • Virtual assistants’ rates are $25-35/hr in Los Angeles. Unlike virtual assistant companies, our assistants can handle in-person duties like running errands and managing household tasks, as well as offer remote support for online/computer-based work.

    All of our assistants are based in your city (LA or NYC), even if you only need remote support.
