About The Middle

We are a part-time personal assistant company matching tapped out professionals with dialed in personal assistants.

Created by an experienced personal and executive assistant.

Welcome to The Middle

I have been a personal assistant to entrepreneurs, small business owners, and busy professionals since 2014. When I started, I needed a steady job with a flexible schedule so I could pursue my dreams in Hollywood, but my experience as a personal assistant also nurtured a new dream: entrepreneurship. I worked under so many entrepreneurs, I realized I shared the same passion. Personal assistants are mini CEOs, by the way.

I know how to recruit the best personal assistants because I can easily identify the qualities in others that have made me so successful. I know what The Middle’s clients are looking for because I’ve worked for them all; my experience is not limited to one industry.

Over the years, I never understood why there wasn’t a dedicated, online place to find part-time personal assistants; it seemed like a no-brainer. So I created The Middle.

Gracie Lane

Founder + CEO

Gracie Lane is the Founder & CEO of The Middle. She is also someone who charged her younger sister for hand-me-downs at age 12, so you could say she’s always had a knack for business. Gracie received her B.A. from UCLA and M.S. in Entrepreneurship from USC Marshall School of Business.

Part-time support structured for busy professionals

You need help, you just don’t need it 24/7. Your business and your personal life are blending together more and more each day. You can’t focus on what’s important because you’re so bogged down by the little things. You just wish you could clone yourself! Sound familiar?

Flexible positions to learn and grow in

The Middle’s clients are not limited to one industry, and can give you experience in industries you may not otherwise have had the chance to work in. Find flexible jobs where you can flex side skills on The Middle.

FAQs

  • We're called The Middle because we're not Craigslist (creepy!) and we're not an agency (what a hassle!). We're somewhere in the middle: an accessible online platform with the personal touch of being matched to your personal assistant. (Also, our founder, Gracie, is a middle child...)

  • We are different from a traditional agency. Traditional agencies place salaried, full-time assistants and charge thousands of dollars in commission. We place part-time, ongoing personal assistants with no reoccurring commissions. The agency search process can take months, whereas The Middle can take as little as a week. Unlike an agency, our process is seamless, quick, and transparent.

  • The Middle's service is facilitating introductions, and does not include management or mediation of employment. Hiring any candidate or accepting employment with any client introduced through The Middle is at your discretion.
