Sometimes when I speak to friends/family/go to a networking event and tell people I'm a Virtual Assistant, I get asked, "So, what does a VA actually do?". Fair question - I had no idea before I became one!
Early-on in my VA journey this question used to throw me - I'd go on to waffle a bit (a lot) and massively undersell myself (imposter syndrome alert!). 🙈
Whilst I think the role of a VA is becoming more familiar to people, it can often still be seen as purely admin support. Whilst admin IS a huge part of what many brilliant VAs do (let’s be honest, keeping things organised is a skill in itself!), the role can also be so much more.
For me (and most of the lovely VA community), it’s about being more than just someone who ticks things off the old to-do list. It’s about working alongside our clients - spotting the gaps - noticing something before it becomes a problem. The best VAs become a trusted and integral part of your team!
With the summer holidays/childcare juggling act in full swing ☀️ 🤪 I'm already looking ahead to autumn when I'll have a little more capacity.
So, if you've got something on your to-do list that you've been putting off, or simply not enough time in your day, drop me a message, I do love to chat! ✉️
