There's a lot that can be done online, namely shopping (food and items), bills, taxes. It works because a $20k salary in US might be worth $80k in say, Malaysia, or $120k in somewhere like India. So you could probably hire someone very good with very little money.
What you describe seems close to the role of a home maid/nanny. They're popular in developing countries; households with a working couple here often have a maid or two. Ironically, they're uncommon in developed countries because the cost of living/minimum wage is too high.
- JohnBooty 5y agoI feel like there's an underserved market for something like that in America. Not a full-time home maid (which would be impractical for salary reasons here) but something more than a cleaning service and less than a fulltime PA. We have cleaning services and it's a pretty popular independent "side gig" for a lot of married women; their husbands work full-time and then they clean a few houses each week for something to do + supplemental income. But I've not heard of cleaning services that handle things beyond cleaning, like dealing with contractors and running errands and the like.
