You know how motherhood changes everything? The way you look at your time, your career, and honestly…your whole identity? I felt that shift big time. I wanted to be present for my kids — the school drop-offs, class parties, soccer games — but I also wanted something for myself. Something that made me feel fulfilled beyond motherhood.
That’s when I stumbled into the world of being a Virtual Assistant (VA), and let me just tell you… it completely changed my life.
Being a VA isn’t just about answering emails or scheduling appointments. It’s about using the skills you already have — from past jobs, school, or just life — in a way that fits around your family. From social media management to bookkeeping, VAs help business owners reclaim their time, while we get the freedom to build a career that actually works with our lives.
And the best part? You get to decide how much you work, when you work, and what kind of clients you want to work with. For me, that’s looked like building a business that still lets me be “room mom” during the day, but also keeps me challenged and fulfilled in my career.
So if you’ve ever wondered, “What’s out there for me now that I don’t want a typical 9-5?” — maybe this is your answer.
Here’s a list of 90 skills you can offer as a Virtual Assistant. Think of it as inspiration for building your own VA service menu — or as a reminder of just how much support is out there if you’re a business owner who’s ready to outsource.
As you can see, the role of a Virtual Assistant is incredibly flexible and customizable. You don’t need to offer all 90 skills — instead, choose the ones that align with your strengths and interests.
If you’re a business owner, this list is a great reminder of how much a VA can take off your plate. From day-to-day admin tasks to social media management, having the right VA on your team means more time for the things you love (and less stress about the things you don’t).
