Title: Personal Assistant / Book Writing Assistant
Location: Orlando (Lake Nona), Florida
Schedule: Monday through Friday, 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM, plus availability on Thursdays from 4:30 PM – 5:00 PM for live online sessions
Pay: $20.00 per hour, plus $0.50 per mile when using your personal vehicle to transport me to appointments or other approved destinations.
About the Position
I am seeking a compassionate, dependable, organized, and trustworthy Personal Assistant to help me complete my inspirational book about overcoming a life-changing stroke and assist with growing my online stroke recovery platform. This is a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference while helping bring an important story and mission to life.
In 2012, I survived a hemorrhagic brainstem stroke. As a result, I have photophobia, which makes it difficult to look at bright computer screens, and mild dysarthria, which causes slight speech difficulties. Your primary role will be to type accurately as I dictate my book and assist with a variety of personal, household, and media-related tasks.
Primary Responsibilities:
● Type and organize my dictated book manuscript.
● Keep book chapters and notes organized.
● Assist with deleting emails, documents, and basic computer tasks.
● Help operate a phone or camera for my weekly online platform sessions.
● Use Adobe Premiere, CapCut, or similar video editing software to help put together recordings for my platform.
● Organize and prepare recorded content for sharing.
● Email completed recordings to designated individuals as needed.
● Accompany me to locations such as Celebration Hospital to see record therapy sessions or related content when needed. Also accompany me to my Book Editor for sessions.
● Ride with me on Access Lynx transportation when applicable (you do not need to use your own vehicle for these trips).
● Drive me to medical appointments and other approved destinations when needed (mileage reimbursed at $0.50 per mile).
● Assist with occasional errands.
Light Housekeeping During Downtime
When book-related work is caught up, assist with light housekeeping, including:
● Dusting
● Sweeping and mopping floors
● Cleaning kitchen counters
● Cleaning bathrooms
● Emptying trash
● Making the bed
● General tidying and organization
(No heavy lifting or deep cleaning is required.)
Preferred Qualifications
● Excellent typing and listening skills.
● Strong English grammar and spelling.
● Patient, dependable, compassionate, and trustworthy.
● Comfortable working with someone who has a disability.
● Good organizational skills.
● Basic computer knowledge, including Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
● Comfortable using a smartphone or camera for recording video content.
● Familiarity with MoviePlus or similar video editing software is required.
● Ability to organize and email video recordings efficiently.
● Basic familiarity with AI tools such as ChatGPT, Grok, Perplexity, Claude or any AI program
● Valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and proof of insurance (preferred but not always required due to Access Lynx availability).
● Ability to maintain strict confidentiality regarding my personal information and book.
Ideal Candidate
I’m looking for someone who is more than just an employee. I want someone who is trustworthy, encouraging, dependable, and genuinely interested in helping me accomplish an important life goal and grow a meaningful stroke recovery platform. This role has the potential to grow into something more as the platform and business expand.
If you enjoy helping people, have strong organizational skills, and would like to be part of a meaningful project, I would love to hear from you.
