October 2025 marks 13 years since At Home Assistant was formed. What started as an idea by lead VA Jo, has grown into a fulfilling career supporting entrepreneurs, business leaders and SMEs.

These years have been filled with challenges, learning curves, and plenty of milestones – but most importantly, they’ve been enriched by the people we’ve had the privilege to work with, both clients and fellow VAs.

A heartfelt thank you to our clients, collaborators, and connections for your trust, encouragement, and support over the years. There’s some exciting changes afoot and we’re excited to enter the next chapter and all the opportunities it may bring!

Thank you for my new corporate headshots 📸

As I generally hate photos of myself and am my harshest critic, please vote and let me know which one I should feature on my website 🙏🏻

Thank you to for taking my new headshots.

As I am my own worst critic and generally hate any photos of myself, which one do you think should feature on my website?

I am so proud & humbled to be shortlisted for the upcoming UK VA Awards in the ‘Lead VA of the Year with Small Team’ category.

Thank you to Amanda Johnson and the rest of the judging panel for this amazing opportunity and I look forward to meeting many fellow VAs and business owners at the awards in October.

🥞 Pancake Day Debate: Crepes vs. Fluffy Stacks! 🥞

It’s that time of year again—Pancake Day! But the real question is… are you Team Crepe or Team American Pancake?

✨ Crepes – Light, delicate, and perfect for rolling or folding. Whether you’re a lemon & sugar purist or prefer something indulgent like Nutella & strawberries, crepes bring that elegant, classic touch!

🥞 American Pancakes – Thick, fluffy, and oh-so-satisfying. Stack them high, drizzle with maple syrup, and maybe even throw in some blueberries or crispy bacon for the ultimate treat!

Both have their place, but if I had to choose… well, that’s a tough one! 🤔

What’s your pancake of choice today? Drop your vote in the comments! ⬇️👇

Can At Home Assistant’s virtual assistant services save you money?

Well, the short answer is yes! It’s the ‘how’ that clients don’t always understand.....

If you had a gap in your business, and were seeking to hire a full time employee you would have their salary to pay, plus overheads such as office space, possibly equipment like a laptop, or a phone , and then you’d have further costs like holiday & sick pay, National Insurance to take into consideration. And what’s most frustrating is that often, you end up having to find work for your employees to do in quieter periods of the year, so in those instances you actually could end up wasting money.

By contrast, in hiring one of our VAs, purely for the tasks or role you need support in, there are none of these overheads to worry about, plus you’re not paying a salary just for someone to take an extended lunch break or to knock off work early. You don’t have to find work for them to do in quieter periods, and you don’t have to pay when they are absent on holiday, or unwell. You pay only for the time worked on your tasks. Which in turn, saves you money. It’s a no brainer!

So if there’s a gap in your business where you could use some support in any area, or you’re considering hiring for a role but don’t need someone full or even part-time, think about outsourcing to At Home Assistant instead.

Contact us today and let us talk you through the ways in which we can save you and your business money.

Have you ever wondered how to begin working with a Virtual Assistant? Often the ‘how’ can be the hardest bit. So let us put your mind at rest with a step-by-step guide:
 
1. How can we help? We work out where your pain points lie, what you need to prioritise, and what can be delegated.
 
2. What do you need? Once we have identified the support you need, we look at the ‘best fit’ for you—what skillset is needed to fulfil your role, what type of experience or background would be beneficial.
 
3. When do you need support, and how much? We look at realistic timescales for the support required and match that to your budget.
 
It’s really as simple as that!
