What an escort PA does.

A personal assistant works for you, usually remotely. Services commonly include answering enquiries, scheduling bookings, client communication, admin, and help with marketing, photos and social media. Some PAs also check clients before passing on a booking.

It is a paid service. Pricing varies between assistants and isn’t always published, so ask for it in writing before you start.

What booking software does.

Booking software turns enquiries into structured requests. Customers choose one of your appointment options and a time you have opened, and you accept or decline — or let bookings confirm automatically under the rules you set.

On BelleTime, providers set usual hours, exceptions, breaks and private time, and can pause new requests whenever they need to. Customers pay your full advertised price directly to you at the appointment; BelleTime’s A$19 booking fee, including GST, is paid by the customer on top.

Side by side.

Cost

A PA is an ongoing paid service. BelleTime’s provider tools are free: no subscription or commission.

Availability

A PA works the hours you agree. Software takes requests at any time, inside the openings you set.

Conversations

A PA can talk with clients for you. Software replaces most back-and-forth with a clear request.

Marketing

Many PAs help with photos, ads and social media. Software gives you a profile and a link to share.

Privacy

A PA reads your messages and client details. On BelleTime, customers and providers never see each other’s email.

Control

With either, you decide who you see. Keep the final say on every booking.

When a PA makes sense.

• You want someone else to handle conversations, not just bookings.
• You need help with marketing, content or social media.
• Your income comfortably covers the ongoing cost.

If you hire one, give them a structured booking link rather than your personal number. That keeps every request in one place, even if you change assistants later.

Questions to ask any PA.

• Who can read my messages and my clients’ details?
• Where are they stored, and what happens to them if we stop working together?
• Is there a lock-in contract or a notice period?
• How do you check clients, and do I still make the final decision?
