Hiring a Virtual Assistant can feel like a big step — especially if you’ve never done it before. I get it. You’re handing over parts of your business, and that takes trust.

Here’s what I want you to know: I’m here to support, not complicate.

Let me walk you through what it’s really like to work with me.

Step 1: Discovery Call

We start with a chat. You tell me where you’re feeling stretched, what tasks drain your time, and where you’d love support.

Step 2: Onboarding

We create a simple onboarding process — shared passwords (securely), preferred tools, brand voice guidance, and your priorities. I make this as smooth as possible.

Step 3: Weekly Support

Each week, I work behind the scenes to keep things moving — from social media scheduling to email triage to system clean-ups. I keep you updated so you always know what’s happening.

Step 4: Check-Ins and Adjustments

Need to shift priorities? I’m flexible. I adapt with you and your business.

Working with a VA isn’t just about outsourcing — it’s about gaining a partner who helps you breathe easier.
