Personlig assistent i Sintra, Portugal, söker jobb.Profil för Jill suzette: personlig assistent 3522824

I’m an American living in Sintra since 2022, after spending over 20 years working closely with the founder of an international luxury hospitality and property group in Mexico.

My background is in executive and personal assistance, property management, business administration and, perhaps most importantly, figuring things out and getting things done.

Since moving to Portugal, I’ve become extremely resourceful at navigating the systems here. Anyone who has lived in Portugal knows that even the simplest task can turn into an adventure! I’ve spent the last several years dealing with Portuguese bureaucracy, property administration, banking, utilities, insurance, contractors, municipal procedures, government portals and the endless paperwork that comes with living here.

I’m very comfortable managing online accounts, payments, appointments, Via Verde, Portuguese banking platforms, tax and administrative portals, and keeping track of deadlines and documents. I understand how important it is to have someone who can navigate these things, follow up persistently and simplify the process rather than create more work.

I also have extensive experience coordinating properties, maintenance, suppliers, household staff, renovations and service providers. I know how to research options, compare prices, negotiate, organize appointments and make sure things actually get completed.

I’m highly tech savvy, use AI comfortably and enjoy developing systems that keep everything organized, whether that’s managing documents, tracking expenses, scheduling maintenance or simplifying everyday responsibilities.

English and Spanish are fluent. I understand Portuguese extremely well and communicate comfortably in writing, although my spoken Portuguese is still improving. That hasn’t stopped me from becoming very effective at finding my way through the Portuguese system!

I’ve spent much of my professional life supporting people with demanding schedules and complicated lives, so I understand discretion, privacy and the importance of anticipating needs rather than waiting to be asked.

I’m naturally energetic, organized and very independent. I like taking responsibility, solving problems and removing unnecessary complications from people’s lives. I’m equally comfortable managing a property, organizing travel, researching a service, handling administrative errands, shopping or just helping someone get settled and feel at home.

I think the best personal assistant is someone who quietly makes problems disappear before they become problems.

That’s the part of the work I really enjoy. Making life easier for someone else, particularly in a country where knowing how things work can make all the difference.
