Task ideas

Start with work that repeats every week.

A narrow first task list is easier to teach and review. Add more work after the assistant handles the basics well.

Compare hiring paths

Pick the support model that fits the work.

A provider can help with screening and backup. A specialist team may know your tools. A freelancer gives you a direct working relationship, but you handle the hiring checks.
