Virtual Assistant — Administrative Support
I work as a virtual assistant for entrepreneurs and small teams — managing email and calendars, organizing meetings, preparing and formatting documents, basic request and task tracking in a task tracker. I usually start a working relationship with an 'observation' week: getting familiar with the client's actual processes so I can suggest real improvements, rather than just mechanically executing a task list without context. I work with Google Workspace, Notion, Trello, and similar tools, and pick up new services quickly if a client already has their own stack in place. I track expenses and keep simple reporting in spreadsheets, book travel, and coordinate meetings across different time zones. I maintain confidentiality of work information as a baseline requirement for this job, and I never break that under any circumstances. I don't do bookkeeping at the level of tax reporting or handle legal documents — those need dedicated specialists, and I honestly point clients to them when a task goes beyond administrative support. A comfortable format is 15–25 hours a week on an ongoing basis.
