Cost to Hire a Personal Assistant in LA
A traditional personal assistant agency in Los Angeles typically charges 10–20% of a personal assistant’s annual salary. If a personal assistant is earning $100,000 a year, that could mean a $20,000 placement fee.
But that’s not how we work. Our assistants aren’t looking for full-time jobs. They’re interested in part-time, ongoing roles, and our fee reflects that.
We’ll send you personalized matches and handle all the interview scheduling at no cost. If you decide to hire a personal assistant we’ve introduced, there’s just a one-time $750 Placement Fee. Simple and straightforward.

A personal assistant can help you deliver a seamless, professional experience without feeling stretched thin.

For finance professionals with demanding schedules (and often an executive assistant at work) a personal assistant becomes essential on the home front.

Artists are driven by creativity, and not always by structure, which makes a personal assistant an invaluable right hand.

FAQs
-
A personal assistant in LA from The Middle can handle both home and office-related tasks. Our candidates will often support clients across personal matters, home management, and business administration.
-
To determine whether a virtual assistant or in-person assistant is better for your lifestyle, a great first step is to jot down all the tasks you’d love to hand off. Try doing this over the course of a week or even a month. Then, take a look at your list and figure out what needs to happen in person (like organizing your closet or picking up groceries) and what can be done remotely (like booking travel or scheduling appointments).
If everything can be handled online, a virtual assistant is probably all you need. But if you’ve got tasks that require someone to be physically present, you’ll want an assistant who can come to your home when needed.
The good news is assistants from The Middle can do both! We’re a personal assistant agency in Los Angeles so our candidates are always local to your area.
-
