Ways a Pasadena Personal Assistant Can Help Your Daily Life

A personal assistant can support your daily life in so many ways. They can run local errands, organize that closet everything gets shoved into, come up with organizational systems for filing, managing household items, or emails, and support with daily business or life administration like scheduling appointments and meetings or managing routine registrations.

The Difference Between The Middle and a Personal Assistant Agency

The Middle is different from a typical personal assistant agency because we only place part-time personal assistant positions. Typically, agencies place full-time or full-time temp positions and charge a large percentage of the candidate’s salary as a fee (typically 10-20%). We charge a nominal placement fee in comparison ($550) and solely place part-time, long-term personal assistant positions.
