To meet the rising demand for flexible personal assistants and accessible income opportunities, Wait4me launched in Los Angeles to connect clients seeking on-demand support with local personal assistants. The personal assistant app offers an enticing prospect for busy people and families: the opportunity to buy back time by delegating a wide range of tasks, from errands and administrative duties to appointment scheduling and managing reservations.
Wait4me lets assistants set their rates and bid on assignments, and on the flip side, clients benefit from transparent pricing and the ability to re-book trusted assistants. "We've started in Los Angeles and are excited for additional markets to be launching soon," said visionary and co-founder, Chris Gordon. With more of a finite, valuable resource freed up, app users will have more energy and focus to invest in other areas of their lives.
