Bilingual Personal Assistant / Local Representative in Egypt (Long-term)
Budget: $8 – $15 USD
I am an expat living in Egypt seeking a reliable, bilingual (English/Arabic) personal assistant for a long-term collaboration (6+ months), starting with a 3-month trial period. The goal is to bridge language and cultural gaps so my personal affairs run smoothly without misunderstandings.
Your support will involve handling tasks requiring local knowledge and clear Arabic communication. Complete discretion and confidentiality are required, as you will be dealing with my personal matters.
Key Responsibilities:
- Act as my personal representative when communicating with landlords, agents, service providers, or making inquiries.
- Translate my English instructions into clear Arabic to ensure accurate responses.
- Handle quick follow-ups online or by phone whenever needed.
- Report all outcomes, updates, and task details exclusively through Freelancer.com in an agreed format.
Requirements:
- Comfortable making local calls on my behalf when necessary (specific tasks only).
- Willing to coordinate via Freelancer’s platform first before using external tools like WhatsApp for task execution.
- Responsiveness: Tasks are often time-sensitive. You must be able to acknowledge and execute a requested call or task within 2 to 3 hours during standard Egyptian business hours (or within a pre-agreed daily availability window).
Billing Arrangement:
This will be an ongoing hourly project where a block of hours will be funded upfront (e.g., 2-5 hours at an agreed hourly rate). Tasks will be logged in small increments (e.g., 10-15 minutes per task) using Freelancer's time-tracking system until the block is used up. Once a block is depleted, a new block will simply be funded to continue our ongoing collaboration.
Hourly Rate Suggestion:
The suggested hourly rate for this role is $10–$15 USD/hour, depending on the freelancer's experience and qualifications.
Please include the following in your proposal/bid:
1. Your hourly rate for ad-hoc tasks.
2. Confirmation of your ability to make local calls on my behalf when required.
3. Confirmation that you accept the 3-month trial period and can typically respond to ad-hoc task requests within 2-3 hours during business hours.
