Hello!
I’ve had virtual assistants for years, and I love it. I’ve tried the shared model before, but I don’t recommend it. One tip I can give you is to align everything before the assistant starts.
Personally, I like working with a larger team because each person has different skills. I hired a company to recruit a virtual assistant, and my experience was great. Since the virtual assistant is based in Brazil, the cost is lower, and you can hire someone for around $5/hour, which is a good salary there. Plus, you can find highly skilled professionals who are fluent in English and available to work within U.S. business hours.
I hope this helps! If you’d like, send me a message—I’d be happy to share more of my experience with you. 9017790739
