Thinking about hiring a virtual assistant but not sure what to expect? Let me take you behind the scenes.
Working with an online personal assistant is like having a right-hand person who anticipates what you need, helps you stay on track, and makes your daily life run smoother—without the commitment of a full-time hire.
Here’s what it’s actually like:
Step 1: Discovery Call & Needs Assessment
We start with a 20–30 minute call to:
Talk through your day-to-day responsibilities
Identify your biggest stress points
Figure out what’s eating up your time
This sets the stage for a customized support plan.
Step 2: Getting Access & Setup
Depending on what tasks I’m helping with, you’ll share access to tools like:
Google Calendar
Email accounts (or delegate-only access)
Project management tools (Trello, ClickUp, Notion)
I always prioritize security and boundaries. You stay in full control while I handle the nitty-gritty.
Step 3: Task Delegation & Weekly Support
We create a shared task list or communication method (I use Voxer, email, or Google Sheets with most clients).
From there, I start taking work off your plate every week—things like:
Inbox triage
Calendar coordination
Research
Light project management
You can reach out anytime with new requests, or we can schedule regular check-ins.
Step 4: Real-Time Relief
You’ll start feeling the results immediately:
Less time on busywork
Fewer missed deadlines
Mental space to focus on the bigger picture
Many of my clients say it feels like a weight is lifted—that finally, they can breathe.
Common Questions
Do I need to know exactly what to delegate?
Nope. I’ll help you figure it out.
Is this only for business owners?
Not at all! I support moms, creators, and anyone with a full plate.
How do I know if it’s worth it?
If you’ve ever said, “I’m so behind” or “I just need a second brain,” it probably is.
