The ideal candidate is proactive, resourceful, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently. We are looking for someone who can anticipate needs, take ownership of responsibilities, and follow through without constant direction.
Complete confidentiality, discretion, and trustworthiness are absolutely essential.

- Coordinate vehicle registrations, license plate renewals, insurance documentation, and similar administrative needs.
- Organize personal paperwork, mail, records, and electronic files.
- Assist with family travel, reservations, scheduling, and personal appointments.
- Research services, obtain quotes, and coordinate with vendors or service providers.
- Develop and maintain reminders and organizational systems to ensure important responsibilities are not overlooked.
- Assist with miscellaneous personal administrative needs as they arise.
Qualifications & Skills

- Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, and general office technology.

- Strong problem-solving skills, initiative, and follow-through.
- Professionalism, dependability, and the ability to maintain strict confidentiality.
- Comfortable handling both business and personal administrative responsibilities.
Schedule & Work Environment
This is a flexible, part-time hybrid position averaging approximately 12–15 hours per week.
Most responsibilities can be completed remotely, with occasional in-person work in the Greater Akron area for meetings, paperwork, mail, and other administrative needs.
We are open to establishing a mutually convenient schedule, although some availability during normal business hours will be necessary.
Ideal Candidate
This position may be particularly attractive to an experienced executive assistant, former office manager, or administrative professional seeking a flexible, long-term, part-time opportunity.
We are looking for someone who genuinely enjoys organization, takes initiative, and finds satisfaction in making sure things get done.
More than simply completing assigned tasks, the right person will help create structure, anticipate needs, and keep both business and personal responsibilities running smoothly.
The goal is to develop a long-term working relationship with someone who can become a trusted, valued resource.
