Short Description:

Life Balance Virtual Assistance is a full service VA practice located in the USA.

Long Description:

At Life Balance Virtual Assistance, I provide business support for small business owners and charitable organizations. I perform office services that are administrative in nature from my home office. I love it because I can really get to know my clients and help them achieve their professional and personal goals, and you'll love it because you won't have to pay for facility costs, dead hours, and other costs associated with having an in-house employee.

I enjoy working with people who passionate about what they do. I love working with people who are committed to what they are doing and who want to make something wonderful happen.

As a working professional for more than 10 years, I bring many skills to my practice including: writing and editing, research, calendar management, travel management, concierge services, database management, customer service (answering phones and emails), booking speaking engagements, event planning, assisting in personal issues, and more.

I am a professionally trained VA and am a graduate of the AssistU Virtual Assistant training program.

My clients have come from a variety of backgrounds. I have worked with coaches, real estate agents, civil engineers, restaurant operators, writers, and small business owners.

I am very flexible and can perform a variety of tasks. If there is a task you need help with, I will either learn it for you (usually on my time), or I will find someone who can do it for you. I have a lot of connections and I can always find someone for occasional project work.

My desire is to be a partner with my clients. I am more than a task master, I am a partner, an idea generator a problem solver. My relationships with my clients are long term and I treat their business as if it is my own.

Besides the long-term, collaborative relationships I have with my clients as a VA, I also offer the service of writing environmental documents. I can write environmental documents (EAs, CEs, EISs) for urban planning departments, Departments of Transportation, Federal Highways, and civil engineers. My specialties include Environmental Justice, Socio-Economic conditions, and biological resources (not including water).

And for musicians and composer, I also offer musical notation services. I am able to notate your handwritten manuscripts using Finale (Coda).

My Standards and Boundaries

My basic standards are to: treat everyone with respect; to be honest; to be dedicated to my deadlines; to consider my education ongoing; to commit to having clear, concise, and honest communication with my clients; to maintain a healthy balance between my personal and professional life; to assure confidentiality; to recognize and deal with potential conflicts of interest as they arise; and to stand for my clients and myself.

Hand in hand with my standards are my boundaries which include: not answering the phone after hours; not working on weekends and holidays unless agreed upon by special arrangement; not sending after hour emails; not performing work that is illegal, unethical or immoral; not tolerating gossip from myself or others; and not tolerating clients who operate in a constant state of emergency.

Partnerships and project work.

In my VA business, I enthusiastically offer long term partnerships with my clients. Through a valued partnership, I will learn the goals and aspirations of my clients and their goals will become our shared goals. As a partner, it will be my goal to know my clients’ needs as well as they know them themselves.

Will occasionally offer project work. Usually, that will come in the form of environmental document writing, or musical notation services.

My Ethics

As a VA, I will attempt to maintain the highest ethical standard possible in my business. I will be very aware of potential conflicts of interests, and will always try to represent my clients well.
