Life can be a whirlwind, a constant balancing act between professional demands and personal challenges. It's a journey marked by ups and downs, one that I know all too well.

The business was created to enable you to do more of what you love, with the ones you love, while you have the opportunity. There is no greater pain than the loss of a child and my path, after the loss of my son, has taught me that adversity can be transformed into advantage, and our greatest challenges can become our most valued strengths. With every step I’ve gained a profound understanding of what it means not just to survive but to thrive, even when the odds seem insurmountable. Hence the dandelion logo - a symbol of hope, resilience, and a future. This is captured in my soon to be published book. You can find out more Here . Why should you partner with us?

The role of a Virtual Assistant is predominately similar to that of a Personal Assistant/Executive Assistant but who works from a remote location offering administration services. ​We provide a flexible and efficient service to those who are feeling overwhelmed with daily admin tasks but are not necessarily looking to take on another member of staff. How to work with a Virtual Assistant A VA is a freelance Executive/Personal Assistant Your VA will support your business as well as other clients every day. We are not like full-time employees and are not available all day every day - even though it might sometimes feel like we are! We work on multiple clients in any one day, usually doing a chunk of time for one, before moving on to the next. You are billed by time, a bit like lawyers, and we click in and out of an online timesheet recording how much time we do for each person. All businesses operate in their own unique way, and therefore in order to best work with our clients, we need to understand you and your business. We ask you to spend a little time looking at the areas you would like to outsource. By identifying key areas which take you the most time, are repetitive tasks, you don't like to do or you lack the skills in are a great place to start. When you outsource, we will need access to your systems and potentially have a profile set up to work within your business. It helps both parties if you have this information on hand, e.g. logins and passwords. It's also useful for you to set some time aside to run us through your systems and procedures as well as the position you're currently at for ease of handover. Your VA will need access to your diary and possibly your inbox depending on what you agree we will do. What is most key is that in order to support you to the best of their ability, your VA needs good communication from you. Therefore, we will ask you to meet us weekly or fortnightly for 15-30 minutes, please do your best to make these calls. The more you are able to tell us about your world, your clients, your internal commitments, the better we can help you prioritise and take things off your plate. By offering VA support we help you focus your time where it is better spent and where it will have the most impact on your life. Contact us to discover how we can help you.
