OCD Organized Personal Assistant with a heart needed for Busy Entrepreneur Family in the Palisades

Filled

Posted : 02/21/23

Our clients are some of the brightest and interesting people! Mom has run/been the CEO and Founder of very successful companies while raising three children with her busy Executive Husband.

The two oldest are in boarding school and the youngest is home in 8th grade. There is no need for a nanny anymore, but we do need someone who loves taking care of families, and helping out with child related duties like scheduling, travel arrangements, some drop offs, coordinating with the school, and occasionally staying over with the 8th grader if Mom & Dad need to travel for work.

The ideal candidate has been an Executive or Personal Assistant and can handle prioritizing different responsibilities throughout the day. The family has several homes, and you will be in charge of repairs, packing and advancing for trips, and working with the housekeeper in the main LA home. You also love kids, their 8th grader is a busy preteen, and we’d love someone that feels like a big sister to her – someone she can look up to, and be happy to hang out with when you’re shuttling her around the Palisades for rides as needed.

You love organization and coming up with ways to keep your bosses lives running as smooth as possible.

We’d love to see that you live in West LA, and can be somewhat flexible with your schedule. Mom is working from home right now, so while you are needed at the house most days, it won’t always be the whole day or some days you might work from home. The majority of work will happen 9am-6pm, but we would love someone who is comfortable coming early to meet a plumber, staying late if needed, occasionally sleeping over with their daughter, and being able to travel to the other properties. Some weeks will be about 45 hours, others will be more. This is a salaried position, and we’d like someone who is comfortable being available as needed. If you have a 24/7 mindset that would be great, you won’t need to work that much, we just are looking for someone who takes initiative, manages projects and is a great problem solver.

We need someone fluent in Microsoft Office, Google Suite, Adobe, great with research, booking luxury travel and picking out gorgeous gifts. Ideally you have at least 5+ years of recent experience supporting a busy boss with fantastic references and a clear background check!

Salary is DOE, 100-130k plus paid vacation, sick days and holidays.

Dog Assistant needed for Fun Celebrity Family in Beverly Hills

Filled

Posted : 01/02/23

This is the DREAM JOB for a Dog lover! Our client travels extensively for work, they have Nannies for their children, and now they are about to welcome two Puppies into their family, so they need a Dog Assistant!

You will be in charge of meals, ordering their food, taking them to the park to run around, booking and taking them to the Vet, giving them any meds, and implementing any training.

These Puppies are currently being trained, so they will come to the family already potty trained and knowing some commands!

Your schedule will be Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm, plus someone that can stay over at the gorgeous home in Beverly Hills when the family travels. You will be paid OT for those extra hours!

The family is offering $30-35 an hour, on payroll, plus health insurance, 2 weeks paid vacation, holidays and sick days.

The right person for this role is warm, organized, patient, active, loves dogs (maybe even more than humans!,) and is a great team player as you’ll be interacting with a sizable estate staff. You will be also happy to help around the house – some of the children might need a ride, or drop off an exchange, be at the house to sign for FedEx, just be an extra pair of helpful, happy hands.

You have a clear background check, are vaccinated and boosted for Covid, and have a car that will fit 2 Medium/Large Dogs once they grow to full size.

Please let us know why this is your dream job! (Ideally, you have at least 2-3+ years working as a Personal Assistant, Nanny or Housekeeper.)
