FAQs for finding a personal assistant

The average national rate for hiring a personal assistant on Care.com as of June, 2025 is $21.07 per hour. The cost may fluctuate depending on the types of services you need assistance with, the amount of experience the candidate has and whether you need them full-time or part-time.

Once you've identified what your needs are, you can either post a job on the website and receive applications from personal assistants in your area, or search and message them yourself. You can filter personal assistants by their hourly rate, what skills they have and whether they've received positive feedback from a previous family they've worked for.

A personal assistant generally assists with things like managing your family's schedule, organizing any upcoming events and taking care of shopping needs. They don't usually take on any child care duties, but many will help transport your kids to and from school if needed. It's also not common for a personal assistant to take on any pet care or housekeeping duties, but you can ask each candidate if they are willing to help in these areas.
