I worked for an employment agency for 4 years as a recruiter here in Manhattan Beach, so wages are going to be a bit higher here and around LA than a lot of the country, but for comparison's sake: a personal assistant can make up to $50K a year depending on number and level of responsibilities - are they doing personal and professional tasks like errands for you? Are they on call, doing work after normal business hours in addition to regular full time work? If they are just doing office work, light typing, phones, etc. then $10-15 is totally fair. If they are doing budgets, extensive travel reservations and calendaring, writing reports and spreadsheets, dealing with high level clients, etc. at the level that you feel comfortable letting them handle important tasks without supervision, then $17-20+/hr is more appropriate. More than that you are looking at an executive assistant who essentially can fill in for you when you are not around.
Hope that helps...
