Do you like doing a variety of different simple tasks, prefer working outside an office or your home and enjoy helping people? Becoming an errand runner or personal assistant may be the perfect type of work for you - and can ultimately become a full-time business. Personal assistants and errand runners need to be able to take direction from others, and the ability to multi-task can be an asset. The more efficient, resourceful, organized and reliable you are, the more jobs you can get. The key is to get the job done in a manner satisfactory to our clients. Personal assistant duties can range from (1) errand-running to (2) completing administrative tasks. Hours and location of work can also vary. This means that there is no set personal assistant job description - but rather you choose the ideal tasks that you want to take on and go after those jobs. In fact, most of the jobs you will require you to be the intermediary that accomplishes these tasks which involves liaising with other agencies, services or individuals with specialized skills. Some of these may include financial services, legal services, occasional cleaning, small repair jobs, mowing the lawn, food prep assistance, etc... Here are some examples: Bill Paying Grocery shopping, picking up dinner or pre-made meals Gift buying, wrapping or delivery Mailing packages or picking up mail Taking pets to the groomer or vet Picking up medications Banking chores Taking cars to the car wash or auto repair shop Dropping off or picking up up books at the library Light housekeeping Dry cleaning drop off & pick up Dropping off items at the resale shop Providing transportation for children or seniors Watering plants Taking out the trash Housesitting Dog walking or caring for pets Making flight or travel reservations Event prep or decoration There are also more specialized services that are not generally thought of as errands. However, if you possess these skills and are willing to do these tasks, these services can only make you more valuable to clients.
