I just found one on Upwork last Monday. and I'm NOT SHARING. lol. She is really good. I pay her $10/hr. I interviewed a few in the 3-15 dollar/hr range, from all over the world. I decided I needed someone in my general time zone. She's in Brazil, so she's 4 hours ahead of me.
I needed someone to help me with keeping my schedule and projects in order and not letting anything fall through the cracks. I told people that I interviewed that, "I will occasionally give you specific projects to do, but for most of your work, I need you to tell me what to do. How will you handle this?"
That turned out to be a really good question because most of them didn't respond well to it. One didn't even answer the question. The one I hired said, 'oh I have no problem with that. I was an executive assistant to a group of VP's for years at a bank in Russia.' Ok, twist my arm. You're hired.
