A great Executive Assistant isn’t limited to scheduling and email: they help run your life. From booking flights to buying birthday gifts, the best EAs blend professionalism with personal support. In this post, we highlight the real-world lifestyle tasks a Latin American EA can manage remotely, and how that frees up precious executive headspace.
Task Category 1: Travel Coordination
Whether it’s a quick domestic trip or a multi-leg international itinerary, the EA handles:
- Flight research and booking
- Hotel reservations
- Airport transfers
- Visa and entry requirement checks
They create a travel doc with all confirmation numbers, maps, and contacts, shared in Slack or Notion.
Task Category 2: Gifting and Events
The EA manages:
- Holiday and birthday gift sourcing
- Team and client appreciation gifts
- RSVPs and event registration
- Family event planning and reminders
They even order flowers for a partner’s anniversary or coordinate a last-minute dinner reservation.
Task Category 3: Household and Personal Admin
Without needing physical access, an EA can still:
- Order household supplies or groceries
- Schedule cleaners, repairs, or maintenance
- Track recurring expenses
- Set reminders for license renewals or appointments
All personal tasks go on a shared tracker so nothing slips.
Task Category 4: Procurement and Research
EAs often help with:
- Sourcing vendors (catering, printers, venues)
- Comparing subscriptions or services
- Personal purchases (gear, clothing, software)
This support saves hours of scrolling, emailing, and second-guessing.
The Result? A Full-Scope EA That Brings Peace of Mind
Executives report not just better productivity, but a better quality of life. Their minds are freed up from micro-decisions, and they can focus on leading.
