Working as a Virtual Assistant, one of the services I offer is Lifestyle Services. My clients who use this service range from busy parents to freelancers to CFOs and everything in between!
But what exactly is a ‘Lifestyle Service’ and why do I need it? Well I don’t need to tell you that life nowadays is a whirlwind and honestly, who has time to get everything done?
I provide virtual support to help bridge that gap, so that you have more time to do the things that are most important to you, whether that’s spending time with family…or watching binge watching zombie films!
Just to give you an idea, here are some examples of tasks that I currently provide assistance with:
1. Appointment making -such as hairdressers, dentists, doctors, a spa appointment- whatever you need booking- I can do it for you.
2. Food shopping- send me your list and your availability I will have your food delivered on an agreed date to your address.
3. Trips- planning a meeting out of town/ a weekend away/ a holiday? Give me the details and budget, I will find the most suitable and cost-effective journey for you. Once agreed, I will book it and write you a killer itinerary!
4. Dinner Reservations-Taking someone out to dinner- but whoops- you haven’t booked a restaurant? No worries! I’ll sort out the arrangements for you and put the reservation in your calendar.
5. Dairy management- appointments getting a bit overwhelming? Let me bring order to your diary and make arrangements for you.
6. Email detox- getting irritated by spam and junk in your inbox? I can swoop in and unsubscribe- turning your inbox into a place of harmony and order!
7. Business cards- If you have a ton of business cards that are never to hand, let me add them to your contacts list online, or create a spreadsheet for reference in your drive. All you need to do is send the images to me on WhatsApp.
8. Calendar organisation- I can add all the important appointments, reminders, birthdays and anniversaries to your calendar so that you never forget a date again.
9. Ebay- have a ton of stuff to sell on eBay but just can’t face it? No problem, just send me the images and descriptions and I will turn that stuff into hard cash for you!
10. Facebook- have you got tons of photos on Facebook that you want to download to your pc, but you JUST-CAN’T-FACE-IT? I get you, but I can help with that! I will download all the photos to Dropbox for your perusal!
11. Paperwork organisation and document filing- home office or pc looking a bit chaotic? I can organise your online folders and make sense of the IRL paperwork- Just scan me the images and I will save into the relevant folder.
12. Bill paying and invoice chasing- bills get everyone down, but I can pay bills on your behalf and in terms of unpaid invoices I can chase that pesky non-payer in my friendly yet firm way.
13. Organising a party- i.e. a kids’ party/ hen party/ boat party on the Thames? Give me the brief and budget and I will research and book it for you and manage the guest list.
14. Event management – need a venue finding with specific requirements such as AV, Lighting, Acoustics/ Catering. I can manage your requirements and handle the invoices on your behalf.
15. Gift buying- need a present for a looming birthday/ christening/ wedding etc, but not even had time to look yet alone buy anything? PA Queen to the rescue! Give me brief and budget and I will find a selection of gifts for your approval and once chosen I will get it sent out to you or gift wrapped and sent to the recipient.
16. Transcribing-constantly making notes on your phone for reminders or documents that need writing? Instead just send me a WhatsApp voice message and I will get everything typed up for you and sent to you.
17. Are you looking for a new home? Give me the brief and budget and let me trawl the internet on your behalf and help you find your new dream palace.
18. Already found somewhere? I can help organise removals and utilities etc.
19. Project management – any organisational or administrative help you need on a project can be undertaken virtually.
20. Research-I can research any topic for you whether a subject for your new bestseller to content for a blog to which local doggy day care has the best ratings…I’ll even do a bit of digging to make sure that person you are talking to online isn’t a catfish!
By the way, any logins or payment card details are sent securely via LastPass and documents are shared securely in Dropbox.
So…the bottom line is that a Virtual Assistant isn’t just for business but can support you in areas of your life where you could do with some virtual help and save you heaps of time. My advice is get a Virtual Assistant involved in your life!
