Encinitas CA

Description

Looking for a personal assistant / household assistant who is energetic and great with details for an average of 20 hours per week. We are looking for someone to help with a mix of household activities and errands, as well as support with our 1 year old baby. Opportunities for more hours and increased pay over time. Hourly Rate $16 - $20 per hour depending on experience. You MUST have a reliable car, and ideally would live close by (within 10-15 minutes of the Leucadia/Encinitas area). The perfect candidate is reliable, efficient, very resourceful and energetic. While this is not a technical job in nature, you MUST be tech savvy and be able to help us out with things on a computer including Google Docs, Microsoft Office and other software. Located in Leucadia. We run an online business from home in the health and wellness industry, and need more time in the day, so the primary duty is to take basics off our plate such as groceries, errands, laundry, household chores, food prep and cooking, and more. We also have a 1 year old baby, and while we have a nanny, we would love to hire someone we feel comfortable watching the baby for an hour or more at a time, a few times per week. In addition to the household side of things, we need a little help with some basic home office and business admin tasks, such as sending packages, running errands, event and travel research, and general admin work on the computer and in our home office, keeping things organized and tidy. Example responsibilities: - Domestic: Grocery shopping, meal prep (e.g chopping and roasting veggies, cooking bulk meals for the week -- we will provide recipes but we would love for you to love to cook and get excited about helping us plan healthy meals), light tidying and basic cleaning, laundry/dry cleaning, folding laundry and organizing. - Occasional Office Admin: Preparing and mailing packages, preparing product samples, filing, general organization. Also depending on your experience and skillsets, possibly: event and travel planning, basic bookkeeping, etc. The candidate, must have, at a minimum: - Availability a minimum of 3-4 days per week for anywhere from 3-5 hours per day. - Have a flexible schedule (we are flexible too and can likely work around another part-time job of yours if it's 15 hours or less per week) - Excellent at keeping a household clean and organized. Would love to hear how you do that for yourself. - Must be extremely organized and follow up proactively. The ideal candidate will anticipate our needs, rather than us assigning each task every day. - Must be outgoing and well-spoken. Ability to effectively communicate verbally via text, phone calls and email. - Must be very detail-oriented, have the ability to organize and keep track of assigned tasks - Strong basic computer and internet skills, proficiency in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Gmail, Google Drive, Facebook, etc. - A working car, and the ability to run errands quickly - The ability to carry groceries, laundry, boxes of packages, etc. - Know their way around a kitchen to be able to complete some basic food prep and cooking (with instructions provided). If you don't have work experience in everything we listed above, that's okay, but we want someone who knows how to keep a household organized, and is a master at their own personal organization and household cleanliness. We have called our previous assistants the "Queen of the household", so are looking for someone to be able to handle all the little stuff so we can focus on work and our baby (with some occasional help with the super-cute baby too). ** When you contact us, please send us an email with the subject "Personal Assistant December" ** - An up-to-date resume - A short written description of yourself and why you think you would be a good fit (A cover letter, or just a brief email is fine) - To let us know you are paying attention and read all the way to the bottom, please also use the word "AVOCADO" anywhere in your email - Please list ALL of the skills you have experience in (out of the ones we listed above) within your cover letter - Please tell me your favorite thing to cook for yourself :) If you are someone who personally prioritizes their own health and would fit well into the health-focus of our business, we'd love to hear about it. This is a contract position and you will be provided with a 1099 at the end of the year.
