SERVICES
A lot of people employ a personal assistant. But what does a personal assistant really do? What is the job description?
The personal assistant is called by many names. This position is also known as a Social Secretary, Family Assistant, or Executive Assistant. I work closely with the client then coordinate with the various outside elements.
Most of the time, I deal with administrative and secretarial tasks like answering the phone, making appointments, making schedules, producing presentations, doing background research, organizing meetings, arranging travel accommodations, event planning, gift shopping, organizing paperwork, and making decisions in the absence of the client. I may sometimes be asked to do other duties. This may involve handling accounts and budgets, carrying out a specific project, and taking on some of the client’s load. I love a challenge, so if your requirements aren't listed here, ask me.
I will also offer that extra technical help a client may need to get going. I can get your phone updated, enter all your information, then train you in how to best utilize all that information. I can update your social networking sites. I love technology and can translate tech-speak.
Given that I handle matters that are important to the client, I am trustworthy and exercise confidentiality and discretion at all times.
