Part-Time Personal Assistant - Palo Alto Area
About the Role
We are looking for a reliable, highly organized part-time personal assistant to help a busy professional with personal administration, household logistics, errands, scheduling, vendor coordination, purchases, travel and vacation planning, occasional research, and other day-to-day support.
This is an adult-only household; there are no childcare responsibilities.
This is a part-time role of about 20 hours per week. The schedule can be flexible, and some work can be done remotely, but this is not a fully remote position. You must already be local to the Palo Alto area and able to come in person as needed for errands, vendor coordination, household logistics, and other physical tasks.
Pay range: $35-$45 per hour, depending on experience.

- Coordinate with vendors, service providers, deliveries, repairs, and other household-related needs.
- Plan and coordinate personal and family travel, including vacations, itineraries, reservations, transportation, lodging, and related logistics.
- Help with research, expense tracking, and special projects.
- Keep track of details, follow up reliably, and communicate clearly about progress and blockers.
- Handle private or household-related information with excellent judgment and discretion.
What We're Looking For
- Prior experience as a personal assistant, executive assistant, family assistant, household manager, concierge, or similar role.
- Strong organization, follow-through, written communication, and practical problem-solving skills.
- Local to the Palo Alto / mid-Peninsula area, with realistic ability to come in person on an as-needed basis.
- Comfortable with a mix of personal admin, errands, scheduling, purchases, home logistics, and vendor coordination.
- Reliable, responsive, discreet, and able to work independently with good judgment.
- Own reliable transportation is required.
- Professional references will be requested later in the process.
