Ah, based on my experiences with assistants, that is exactly the problem. You either get someone who is under-qualified and does not fulfill expectations, or someone who is great, but wants to pursue a career.

It is extremely difficult to find a "stable" assistant.

Being an executive assistant is a career.

Did you still have the same problem when you offered the latter enough money to dissuade them from pursuing something else?
