how do I get local help with listing and reservations?

[Anonymous]

I guess I'm not as computer literate as I need to be for hosting.  Do I give up or is there a way to find someone locally that could sit down and help me out?

@Anonymous - There is a tremendous amount of information in the Help Center and here in the Community Forums. There is not 1:1 service unless you are asking to hire a co-host.

Here are some tools that could help: 

1. Complete the tutorials here: https://www.airbnb-toolkits.com/my_toolkits

2. Read all the big topics here: https://www.airbnb.com/help

Home | Airbnb Help Center www.airbnb.com How does Airbnb handle security deposits? How do I cancel my reservation? I Still Need Help

3. Join the Community Forums and read as much as you can, specifically regarding bookings, cancellations, and getting paid: https://community.withairbnb.com/t5/Tips-Tutorials/bd-p/tips-tutorials

 4. Bookmark this: https://community.airbnb.com/t5/Community-Help/Contact-Airbnb-A-Community-Help-Guide/m-p/16165#M2339...

And since we're a community here made up of mostly other hosts, ask the questions that you are struggling with and maybe we can help.  

Good luck.

Good Morning @Anonymous Glad you reached out here. @Alice-and-Jeff0 Have provided a wonderful answer with lots of resources. I do feel a co-host would be perfect for you. Just go to your dashboard and I believe you can click on the co-host link in the upper right hand corner and find someone in your area who would love to help you.
