Virtual Assistants and the Work at Home Mom

First off, you may be wondering, what is a Virtual Assistant? A virtual Assistant provides administrative support to businesses from their own office, using their own equipment. They are independent contractors and usually work for a few separate businesses, rather than one. All work and projects are done using the computer, internet, phone and mail. Because there is never a need to enter their clients office, a Virtual Assistant may have clients nationwide, and even worldwide.

If you are reading this, I am assuming that you are a work at home mom. As a work at home mom you are probably faced with many challenges throughout the day. You are juggling your career/business while tending after your family and home life at the same time. While answering emails, updating your web site and shipping out orders you are also tending to screaming children, cleaning the house and coordinating birthday parties.

Life as a work at home can be stressful, especially if you are doing it all alone. But it doesn't have to be. There are many Virtual Assistants ready and eager to help you manage your life & time more effectively.

A Virtual Assistant can help you with business related tasks such as responding to customers, bookkeeping, word processing and just about any other day-to-day task you can think of. Some Virtual Assistants can also help you with family and personal tasks such as coordinating parties and sending out cards. But what about the cost of hiring a Virtual Assistant?

Most Virtual Assistants work for a base pay of $25-$35 per hour and charge in increments of 15 minutes. You can hire a Virtual Assistant to work as many or as few hours as you require. Some will also work on an as-needed basis and won't require a minimum number of hours.

If you are a work at home mom, hiring a Virtual Assistant can be a valuable investment, both in your business and family-life.
