The assistant who has
already sorted it
A full diary leaves no room for the dozens of small things that still need doing. A family personal assistant takes on every one of them. Renta Staffing Agency places personal assistants in Yerevan and across Armenia.
- English is a must, and discretion goes without saying
- They see the task coming instead of waiting for a reminder
- They know Yerevan, they know who to call, and they know how long it will take

Yerevan and the rest of Armenia
Why this matters in Yerevan

- Our own register of candidates, with references we have taken up ourselves
- First profiles within 3–5 days of signing
- A replacement if the person is not right for you
- Confidentiality at every stage of the search

Questions
What people ask most often
How does an assistant differ from a house manager?
A house manager runs the house and the staff: rotas, budget, contractors. An assistant runs the family’s life outside the house: doctors, travel, schools, events, paperwork. In a large household these are two jobs.
What does a personal assistant cost in Yerevan?
The salary follows the range of tasks, the languages and whether the assistant travels. Our fee is 50 % of the monthly salary, of which the client pays 25 %. We give a range once we have talked through the work and the hours.
How far into private matters does the assistant go?
As far as the task needs and no further. We choose candidates with a developed sense of where the line is: they take no interest in the family’s private life beyond what the work requires, and they do not discuss the client outside it.
Is English necessary?
Usually, yes – for bookings, correspondence with services abroad and visa matters. Other languages by arrangement.
What if the assistant does not suit?
The agreement allows up to three free replacements. We stay with the family for the whole term and help redraw the duties if they need changing.
