Find the perfect assistant


Finding a good assistant or someone just to do some chores around the house has always been a problem right? Springwise reports that now there is a new company based in Beverly Hills called DoMyStuff.com which hopes to sort this problem out by providing a platform for finding people to do chores such as mow the lawn or picking up the dry cleaning or planning a party and much more. Tasks are posted with the required work details and companies and people bid for them, including their cost, time of completion etc. The customer reviews the bids and selects the assistant. While many would prefer to work directly with assistants, DoMyStuff provides a safe platform to transact a business deal. Services are currently available in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York.
DoMyStuff's charges service providers a commission if they're awarded a job. Commission rates vary according to a job's category and total cost, ranging from 7–10%. The service is free for buyers, who have the option of paying a small fee to highlight their project, bringing it to the top of a category (much like Google's sponsored links).
