FAQs

  • No, The Middle does not have a minimum hours requirement, or set plans. We do not dictate the terms of working with your personal assistant. Because our personal assistants are part-time, they are comfortable with working only a few hours, and are flexible as your needs fluctuate each week. When you fill out our Client Questionnaire, please provide an estimated number of hours per week you expect to work with your PA so we can match you with candidates who have the right availability. However, if hours needed dramatically increase, your PA may not be able to accommodate (though often they are happy to, pending availability).

  • At this time, we do not place full-time positions. The positions we place are generally between 5 and 25 hours per week.

  • A personal assistant handles all of the "little things" in your life. They tackle all of the small tasks that can get in the way of true productivity, including (but not limited to) running errands, scheduling meetings and appointments, booking travel, or researching personal and household needs.

  • A virtual assistant handles all of the administrative details of your life that are taken care of online. They tackle the digital tasks that can get in the way of true productivity, including (but not limited to) organizing your inbox, scheduling meetings, booking travel, or purchasing gifts online.

    All of The Middle’s assistants can work both in-person or remotely, depending on your needs. They will always be located in your city (Los Angeles & NYC), even if the work is 100% remote.

  • A personal shopper can either do all of your shopping for you, or accompany you on your shopping trips to give advice (and, of course, carry the bags!). Personal assistants can act as personal shoppers by doing your grocery shopping, picking up items and dropping off returns, and purchasing gifts.

  • Personal assistants from The Middle are not expected to be on-call, or available with less than 1 business day’s notice. These positions are part-time and many PAs work with multiple clients or hold other part-time jobs, so they should not be expected to be available at your disposal. Thank you for respecting our guidelines and our candidates' boundaries!
