Are you overwhelmed with things that need to get done for your business but don’t have the time?! A Virtual Assistant could be exactly what you are looking for and I can help with that!
Besides the social media skills that I have successfully put to work for Powered by Mom I also have over 15 years administrative experience from Executive Assistant to being a Manager of Communications Recruitment & Events, trainer of administrative staff and so much more! Being organized, getting the every day but still important tasks completed are just some of things I can help you with so that you have time to do what you enjoy, help your business grow and more!
Here are just some of the tasks that as a VA I could help with you, it’s not an exhaustive list so remember we can always discuss what you’re looking for. Why do the tasks you don’t have time for and really would rather someone else take care of it when I can do it for you?
Here’s that list of how I can help and as I said this is just the start!
- Screen and priortize incoming communication such as emails and messages left on your website or blog, answering emails on your behalf how much I do is up to you but I can do it all
- Bookkeeping – ie: creating and sending off invoices, following up unpaid invoices, tracking and recording expenses, and more
- Plan, organize and execute events
- Book travel arrangements
- Perform research
- Create newsletters
- Manage all your social media accounts including writing and scheduling tweets and Facebook fan page updates
- Write posts or articles for your website and/or blog
- Data entry
- Schedule and organize your calendar for in person, online and
- Manage projects as needed
Anything else you can think of that you’d want a virtual assistant to do for you that would free up your time to concentrate on entrepreneurial part of your business. No task is mundane if it helps you.
If you would like more information on how we can work together and my rates please email me at poweredbymomblog@ gmail.com. I would be happy to share my resume and references, you won’t be disappointed.

I created Powered by Mom in late 2011 and have been enjoying the community it has become a part of and being able to utilize my professional skills in such a fun and rewarding environment. Building community is my passion and I enjoy being able to work from home after years (up until 2011) of working 50+hours/week outside the home. I still work hard but now I have the flexibility to pick my daughter up from school and more. I would love to put all of my administrative, social media, event and communications experience to work for you so you can concentrate on what you love to do the most as well. Being organized and doing such tasks as emails, tweeting, Facebook updates, newsletters etc.. are second nature to me so let me take those tasks off your hands. Looking forward to helping others in the future.

What a great idea. Never thought of it before.
Reading through your blog, I think you would make an excellent Virtual Assistant! Hope all is going well for you in this career. Keep up the good work!
thanks so much Patricia
This is something I need because it would save so much time once I was set up. I am working on getting my house organized also so that things should flow much smoother. Thanks for sharing it will be a huge help.
This is nice. In the day I would ask friends to give me reminders but everyone is busy now.
I would like to know the rates – to hire….
I am so impressed with the blog, and love the title of Virtual Assistant! How do I become one? I love that this gives you a wonderful opportunity to stay at home with your children.
Dona, you just have to start somewhere, search out companies, join online communities and have an online presence. I have an administrative/communications/social media background so I was doing this type of work in offices and have now just switched it to online.
I am hoping to become a VA sometime this year, so seeing your information is very helpful. It’s hard to know just what someone will be looking for.
I have seen ads looking for Virtual Assistants, but never could figure out exactly WHAT they would do. Thank you for clarifying!
This is something I will be looking into further this year. My business is growing, I’m not at the place yet where this is needed but I’m close!
I have been an admin for years and would perfer to do it at home, especially since I’m not working at the moment. I’d be interested in knowing how you base your pricing and what you charge and how you base that. Thanks.
Hi Maddie,
Thanks to be honest, pricing was the hardest thing to decide on. As someone with several years of Executive Assistant experience and being a Manager I could certainly ask for a higher wage when working almost anywhere else (non-virtual) but as I’m newer the VA world I thought I had to start lower to break in if you will and based on what others seem to charge which is also varied. I also took into account the money I save from working from home. It’s not easy to figure out what to charge so I just had to experiment a bit, started out low but already after a month I’m increasing it something I’m more comfortable with that is still not high. From the feedback I’ve seen from other VAs that’s their biggest challenge as to what to charge, I prefer a straight hourly rate over commission splits but many do well with commission splits too.
This is basically what I do part of the time and it’s great. I need one of my own but, alas, I cannot afford it. Good luck!
this is an interesting job from home for sure
Being a virtual assistant is great even when you’re unemployed from a daytime job and at times is better than a full-time job
Good reference point and tucked away for future consideration. Re-entering the workforce, also a part time home business. Will keep this information onhand, great opportunity.
I love your blog, it motivates me to keep wotking on things for our troops. Just when I feel let down or seem too tired to go on sewing I get a whiff of all that you do and it energizes me . Thank you
awww thanks so much DJ appreciate your comment
I admire you for all you do!! I have often thought that being a VA might be a great idea. Good for you! Wishing you the best, and have a wonderful Holiday Season!
thanks so much Roberta appreciate it
Motivational…glad I read this
I don’t have a funny Christmas tree story.
