F.A.Q.

What exactly is a Virtual Administrator?

A virtual administrator is generally a self-employed individual that provides professional administrative, technical, or creative (social) assistance to clients remotely from a home office. Virtual Administrators are independent contractors rather than employees so their clients are not responsible for any employee-related taxes, insurance or benefits. Clients also avoid the logistical problem of providing extra office space, equipment or supplies. Clients pay for 100% productive work.

How long have you been a Virtual Administrator?

I’ve been a VA since 2007 but I’ve been an Administrative Support Professional for over 15 years. I’ve worked in State Government, Fashion & Beauty, Entertainment, Healthcare and Education. I’ve held a number of positions including Administrative and Executive Assistant, Application Support Specialist and Desktop Support Specialist. I even spent a few years as a computer programmer. These have all given me with the skills and knowledge needed to provide my clients with first class service.
