FAQs

  • The typical hourly rate for a personal assistant in Chelsea is $30-40/hr. Rates do not vary by task or frequency within a given position, but if your position requires HNW estate management, or part-time executive assistant-level support, you can expect NYC-based candidates to be looking for $35-50/hr.

  • The Middle matches you with skilled candidates who fit your specific needs. Our process eliminates the need for you to sift through hundreds of applications or spend hours screening candidates. We’ve done the heavy lifting to find and vet candidates so you are only presented with skilled, qualified matches.

    Start the hiring process by creating a profile detailing the scope of work for your position (we’ll walk you through all the information needed).

    Based on your needs, we will select your best personal assistant matches from our curated database and share their profiles. Simply let us know if you would like to interview any (or all!), and we will schedule and coordinate video interviews for you.

    After the interviews, you choose your favorite personal assistant to hire. The candidate you hire will work for you and be paid by you directly. It’s that simple!

  • Part-time personal assistants can handle a variety of household and daily tasks. Errands and scheduling are among the most common tasks requested by our clients, and our PAs are happy to take those to-dos off your plate!

    Pet care can often be included at the discretion of the personal assistant— many of our candidates are animal lovers and are happy to help with your pet.

    Housekeeping like cleaning and laundry is outside the scope of work of a personal assistant, but home organization (tidying pantries, organizing closets, etc.) is a common personal assistant duty.

  • There is no required minimum guaranteed hours, though guaranteed hours are always appreciated!

    If you ask your PA to hold a block of time for you, but you end up cancelling, it is custom to pay for the time.

  • You can expect a qualified personal assistant from The Middle. We pre-screen applicants, conduct interviews, administer an assignment, and perform reference checks for all candidates.

    We look for candidates with a variety of experience- to help us match our wide variety of clients to candidates who suit their unique needs.

    We also look for soft skills like communication, problem-solving, and proactivity in all of our candidates. Due to the nature of these part-time positions, we look for candidates who are flexible and adaptable.

    Personal information should remain confidential between you and your PA, and if required, candidates may be asked to sign an NDA.
