Personal Assistant (Judgement-Led) – 10 hrs/week – $10–12/hr

I’m looking for a part-time PA to help run my personal life in a very specific way. This is not a typical VA role focused on escalation or repeated check-ins. I’m looking for someone calm and capable who is happy to take responsibility for organising, sequencing, and getting things done without needing constant direction.

In short: I tell you what I want or what matters to me. You minimise my cognitive load by working out how to make it happen. Schedule and book cheap flights to Prague via London. Research meal preps in great detail, then give me options. Order some sports shorts for me. Schedule food acupuncture, therapy, float tank, food deliveries.


**How this works day to day
Weekday morning check-ins. Extra messages only if urgent or one line question. Other than that, async.

You call me at 10:30am Amsterdam time (~5:30pm Philippines) for a ten-minute spoken brief -- what I’m doing that day, updates, presenting me options, reminding me of current work priority. If I miss the call, you send the daily brief as a five-line message. I reply by voice note (“yes / no / not now”), or text “call” for a fast ring-back. Don’t chase me, no convo. Only attempt a second call if something is urgent.


**Your role and responsibilities
You handle personal admin and planning: booking travel, organising appointments, ordering items, scheduling, light research, completing forms, managing my calendar, and helping think through longer-term logistical plans.

You don’t contact my friends or manage relationships. I’ll talk to people myself and pass you the outcomes or constraints. You then handle the logistics around that.

Most of what you do won’t be visible to me. We use one main communication channel only. I don’t want to see task managers, spreadsheets, or systems. Put "sofa" in your response. I only want to hear about things that genuinely need my input or affect my time, money, or values. If I go quiet for a few days, continue as planned and defer things if required.


**Examples
If I say: “Prague dates flexible. Might go via London first. Prefer not to rush, and keep costs sensible.”
You’d come back with one or two clear options, or a recommendation, explaining the trade-offs briefly. If it’s not the right ---------- nt to d ---------- , you park it and revisit later without nagging.

If I say: “I need new shorts, this brand this size this colour.”
You order them and let me know when they’re arriving.
