About Us

As small business owners and very busy people, we have seen the need over and over again for reliable, skilled administrative or personal assistant support for just a few hours a week on an ongoing basis.

There is virtually no qualified pool of applicants for positions of less than 20 hours per week, and those that do apply are usually very transient. A staffing agency is not a good solution because they often send a different employee every time, so it’s difficult to build a relationship–and they are typically less qualified and less experienced.

We realized that busy people had a need that was not being met. Soon after, Avail Assistants was launched.
