About the Position

I'm an entrepreneur looking for a reliable, resourceful, hands-on assistant to help with a mix of business operations and everyday household tasks.

I've been running my main business for over eight years and particularly enjoy working with fellow entrepreneurs, self-starters, and individuals interested in small businesses and startups. Ideally, I'm looking for someone who takes initiative, works independently, and has experience with self-employment or running their own business.

This isn't your typical desk job! Some days will involve administrative work, customer communications, and sales support. Other days might involve packing orders, organizing inventory, running errands, walking my dog, or helping around the house.

The environment is casual, home-based, and unconventional, so adaptability and a willingness to wear multiple hats are important.
