I'm a local attorney in Athens looking for a dependable, organized personal assistant to help me keep my personal life running while I focus on my practice. This is a part-time, year-round position with a consistent weekly schedule — not on-call, not gig work. If you're the kind of person who notices what needs doing before being asked, keeps a calendar without being reminded, and can be trusted with keys to someone's home, I'd like to hear from you.
SCHEDULE
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, roughly 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. — about 21 hours a week. Occasionally I'll need a weekday appointment covered outside those hours, and you'll always get at least 24 hours' notice. No nights, no weekends. Your hours are predictable and they're yours.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Run weekly errands — dry cleaning drop-off and pickup, groceries, pharmacy, post office, shipping, returns Laundry, dishes, tidying, linens, and letting in the cleaning service Care for my cat — feeding, litter, fresh water, plus scheduling and driving to vet appointments Schedule and confirm my personal appointments — doctor, dentist, chiropractor — and keep them from colliding with my work calendar Cook 2-3 simple meals a week and handle the grocery shopping for them Manage my personal calendar and keep it in sync with my work schedule Drive me to scheduled daytime appointments and occasional airport runs Occasional light office errands — supply runs, document drop-offs, deliveries

On a typical week that's real money — roughly another $70-80 — and it's paid separately from your wages. A consistent daytime schedule with no nights, no weekends, and no on-call expectation W-2 employment with proper payroll and withholding — you'll get a real W-2 in January
WHY THIS JOB IS WORTH YOUR TIME
Most part-time work in this area is unpredictable. This isn't. You'll know your hours, you'll know what's expected, and you'll be trusted to work without someone standing over you. I'm looking for someone who'll stay, which is why the pay has a path built into it.
