  ExpatHub's GA Program Connects You To Bilingual Assistants Who Will:

Save You Time

GA does tasks you don't want to
GA achieves Georgia related tasks quicker than you could
GA completes tasks without your supervision (we supervise)
Don't waste time trying to hire someone, we already vetted and manage good quality staff
Call for solutions anytime during GA hours, less waiting
If your time is worth more than $10 per hour, why do admin yourself?

Save You Money

GA gets you local prices (avoid foreigner pricing)
GA knows what the local prices are so won't let you get ripped off
GA can provide suggestions for cheaper options than you might have thought of or known about
Cover the cost of your GA with those savings
Don't pay for a full time assistant, just buy into the GA hours you need

Reduce Your Stress

Stop wasting energy on tasks your GA could solve easily
Stop getting frustrated with vendors who can't speak enough English, let your GA sort it
Peace of mind, having someone who can help and not imposing on Georgian friends to do admin for you
Forget handling hiring & firing, sick pay, holiday pay - we deal with staffing
No annual holiday leaving you without an assistant for 4 weeks, we always have someone available

What Can Your GA Do For You?

Our GA program includes a 10 hour per month retainer

Not sure how you'd use 10 hours per month of assistance? 

Once you get used to assigning tasks, you'll probably want more than 10 hours!

Below are just a fraction of the random tasks you could assign to your GA.

Translation & Communication

  • Accompany you to appointments to help with translation and negotiation.

  • Making calls to anyone you need to communicate with, landlords, building maintenance etc.

  • Handwritten notice in Georgian slipped under your door, or in your elevator etc? Snap a photo and send, and your GA will translate.

  • In a store, salon etc. and having trouble communicating, call your GA and they will tell the person what you need over the phone.

  • Help with any sort of over the phone negotiation for purchases, services and more (some restrictions apply).

  • Will call customer service helplines in Georgia and sit in the queue and get your problem solved.

  • Translate important documents from your doctor etc. Or any other documents you receive (restrictions apply).

  • Sachuqrebis aqciis dasrulebade darcha dge 3! Not sure what this says? Your GA will send you back an English translation of latinized Georgian that cannot be translated accurately online.

  • Call a store to find out if they have the item you want in stock, or can order it in, or deliver it to you etc.

  • Made a mistake order with a vendor online, GA calls to fix it quicker than getting a response by email.

  • Allergies? Scan the ingredients list on the back of any food product and GA will let you know what is in it.

  • Fix Georgian translations done on google translate (From English to Georgian)

Supply Tasks

  • Get firewood delivered to your home, or pretty much anything else that an app can’t help you with.

  • I want X product - GA sources where to find unusual items that you don’t want to order on amazon because they are bulky, perishable, too expensive, unavailable for import delivery.

  • Enjoying a bottle of wine at a restaurant? Send us a photo and your GA will source the location and price to buy in Tbilisi, and can get a delivery arranged or even order direct from the vineyard (in some cases) to get you a wholesale discount.

  • Want a fresh goose or turkey for christmas? Your GA can source local produce you won’t typically find in the supermarket.

  • Sourcing you props and items for a costume party or to make a costume (Yes, our GAs did this).

  • Find locally made versions of international products that are cheaper than ordering from abroad (Real example: Maternity pillow)

General Assistance & Admin

  • Make appointments anywhere, from salons to doctors and more. Just because the doctor speaks English, doesn’t mean the receptionist does…

  • Call direct to hotels to negotiate discounts for direct bookings (undercut booking.com).

  • Call around local pharmacies to check which day/time visiting doctor will be in-house.

  • Organising an event? Your GA will help with event planning eg. booking catering, entertainment and more (Some limitations apply).

For large expenses, your GA can help you organise transfers of payments direct to vendors.

  • Magic. Our assistants will work hard to get results, some things though, are simply not possible in Georgia. We'll try to assess your request before putting the work in and let you know if it is impossible. But if we do put the hours in and it doesn't work out, refunds are normally not possible.

The GA Program

How It Works


Our GA team is a shared resource. You buy in to a monthly package shared with other expats. We manage the GA team, you just message/call whenever you need help.

You'll be amazed at how many tasks your GA can take off your hands, from finding a trustworthy vet (with local prices) to translating over the phone when you are struggling at a shop, booking appointments, setting up interviews for a nanny or cleaner, sourcing hard to find products, and much more.

Expat Managed

We know your struggles! And we train our GAs to understand those struggles. We are also on hand to direct your GA if they encounter an unfamiliar request to make sure they understand what is required.

Tbilisi Based

Your GA is based in Tbilisi, knows the city well and is ready to help with both virtual and in-person tasks.

On Call During Working Hours

11am to 6pm Monday to Saturday. Call/message our GA hub on whatsapp or viber and we'll get your task to an available assistant to get you a solution as soon as possible. Or our operator can help immediately (for example, with on the spot translations). 

Monthly Retainer

Pay upfront for a 10 hour per month retainer. Buy more hours as needed (subject to availability). Hours do not roll over each month.

NOT INCLUDED: Cost of deliveries, taxis & expenses. The retainer covers your GA's time only. Expenses count against your retainer fee.

Keep Track Of Your Hours Used

Our GA team tracks all your tasks & expenses in a spreadsheet you can view so you can see how long each task took and when it was completed. So you always know how many hours you used and have left each month.
