The role of a private PA (also known as lifestyle PA or private household PA) is highly variable and is dependent on the lifestyle of the Principal or family they are supporting.
Generally, this role encompasses the administrative management of a Principal or family’s personal life, with the day-to-day support running a household, organising travel and overseeing finances.
Furthermore, a private PA can help with caring for children, running personal errands, handling specific projects such as planning a holiday or house move, and supervising other household staff.
In short, having someone to help with domestic administration allows you to focus on the things that matter, whether that be quality time with your family or the time to focus on key business activities.
Hiring a private personal assistant can enhance your daily productivity as they are responsible for seamlessly managing your personal and sometimes professional affairs. Their expertise and adaptability help to alleviate stress and allow you to achieve a healthier work-life balance.
Hire a private personal assistantThe world is moving at an increasingly fast pace: Taking the step to hire a private personal assistant can have a hugely beneficial impact on your life and well-being. Whether it’s about ensuring that your household is running smoothly or that a big project is in safe hands, a reliable private PA can provide invaluable peace of mind.
Finding an experienced professional whose experience matches your unique needs can also allow you to redirect your time and energy to where it is most needed, whether for your health, business or your friends and family.
Private personal assistants are responsible for tasks such as:
Scheduling and organising appointments, meetings, and events to ensure your time is free from conflicts. Private PAs handle everything from setting reminders, booking venues, and coordinating with other parties. Maintaining an up-to-date, well-structured calendar, helps you stay on track and meet deadlines, ultimately reducing stress and improving overall efficiency.
A private PA handles all travel arrangements, including booking flights, accommodation, and ground transportation. They research and select the best travel options based on your preferences, ensuring a smooth and hassle-free journey. Additionally, they manage travel itineraries, coordinate with hotels and transport services, and prepare any necessary documents.
They manage all forms of correspondence, including emails and phone calls, acting as a gatekeeper for you. This ensures communication is efficient and important matters are addressed promptly while reducing unnecessary distractions. Additionally, they maintain confidentiality and professionalism in all interactions, ensuring smooth and discreet communication with both personal and professional contacts.
Private personal assistants may also oversee household staff and contractors, ensuring that day-to-day operations run smoothly. They coordinate schedules, delegate tasks, and handle any issues that arise, acting as a liaison between the Principal and staff. This ensures that all services are delivered efficiently, allowing their manager to focus on other priorities while maintaining a well-organised household.
Private personal assistants excel at coordinating both personal and professional projects for their managers. They manage timelines, liaise with vendors, and ensure all tasks are completed to a high standard. Private personal assistants keep everything running smoothly, providing detailed updates and making sure deadlines are met.
