What does a personal assistant do?

Personal assistance is a service in which the personal assistant acts as the hands and feet of the client, carrying out tasks the client would do themselves but cannot do alone due to disability or illness. The purpose is to help the client with everyday tasks at home and outside the home. Tasks are often ordinary everyday chores that we all do in our own lives. The assistant’s duties do not include tasks that require, for example, a nurse qualification, as anyone can act as an assistant.
