Full job description

Overview
We are seeking a calm and trusting Personal Assistant to emotional support to an individual with anxiety attacks. This role does not require any type of background or qualifications, only someone who is trustworthy and is willing to help calm nerves when necessary. The ideal candidate will be someone who can quietly sit and hold an individual’s hand to comfort them during episodes of high anxiety.

Duties

Provide emotional support to an individual with episodes of anxiety.

Assist an individual by holding their hand and giving them hugs to help regulate their nervous system.

Maintain a quiet environment around the individual to help lower anxiety – you will have regular breaks throughout the day to go outside, eat, read, write, or other quiet activities.

Help microwave food or put away bedding – not a housekeeping position.

Communicate quietly and calming to the individual when necessary.

Qualifications

No proven experience as a Personal Assistant necessary – personality matters most as someone trusting and calm.

Willingness to hold the individual’s hand or give them hugs frequently throughout the day.

Outstanding communication skills focused on creating a quiet and calm environment.

Schedule is around 11am-5pm Monday – Friday with flexibility for part-time or full-time work.

Location is in Queens/Flushing, New York easily accessible by private and public transportation.
