System Admin / maintenance / Full stack development

Job ID: 32350056

Budget: €12 – €18 EUR

I am looking for a system admin that can help me with my websites and VPS. This job will just take a few hours a week (maybe even less) and is mainly about the maintenance and performance of the websites, making sure that updates are done when necessary and adjusting small things. When we can work together I will have a bigger project which will require a lot of programming.
I will provide the freelancer with clear assignments and functional designs whenever necessary. However, I will rely on advice by specialists (the developer) whenever we implement new functionalities or for development. The freelancer will come with ideas to have more efficient processes and solutions that will help with marketing. I don’t want to have to ask to do things all the time (except in the early stages), but need someone who is pro-active.
Due to several bad experiences and the time difference, I prefer someone from Europe or Northern-America. The freelancer needs to be absolutely fluent in English. If they are not, please do not send them through!
Essential knowledge to do this job: PLESK, Laravel, Wordpress, WooCommerce, Codeigniter framework of PHP with front end as boostrap 4 with jquery library, MySQL, Bootstrap.
I have one Wordpress website with a web shop for several (digital) products (no distribution). One website in a Laravel framework with a good functioning application. One website made in a Codeignitor framework with another application. The last two websites/applications need to be merged at some point.
But first I need a trustworthy person that can assist me with the day-to-day issues. I don't mind if they have other jobs at them moment, but I expect availability and honesty. I've had too many freelancers that just weren't honest when they had prior engagements and subsequently dissapointed me because the jobs were not done. I'd rather have someone who tells me when they are available.
On a side-note, the reviews on Freelancer are not very useful. All freelancers ask for or expect 5-star reviews and often get them. As an employer or client, I can't find any good freelancers, because they all have 5 star reviews, which is ridiculous. Please don't suggest any people from Asia; I just have too many bad experiences and it takes me too much time. Also, no people from the Ukraine/Russia because they might be at war soon.
Sorry to be so particular. Thanks for your services!
