Let's start off with a definition for a virtual assistant. 

A Virtual Assistant is someone who is generally self-employed. They provide administrative, technical or creative assistance to clients virtually. 

I've been a virtual assistant since March 2013 and I've never looked back. Since then I've added more skills to my portfolio but virtual assistance is still one of my favourite services to offer. 

Here are some tasks a Virtual Assistant usually do:

• Email management

• Video editing

• Online research

• Report creation

• Creating invoices

• Bookkeeping

• Social media management
