Busy Couple Needs VA

I’m not running a company; I’m just a worker and student. My husband and I are super busy with no free time, so we really need your help.

We primarily need a virtual assistant to help with everyday tasks, like finding which hardware store carries a certain type of tile or scheduling a mechanic appointment. Most of this can be done online during the hours of your choosing, but occasional phone calls will need to be made during US business hours.

In addition, we’ll need you to take on a variety of tasks as they come up. For this reason, I can’t provide a comprehensive job description. In short, we’ll need your help doing all of the things life requires that can be done remotely.

While working together, we may have tasks for you that you’ve never done before or don’t know how to do, so we’ll need you to willing to learn new things. As needed, training will be provided.

Bonus if you know basic video editing, but this is not required.

Please also tell me how you would approach a task that you’re unfamiliar with. For example, my hypothetical friend is a new knitter and I’d like to get her some beginner friendly knitting needles. If you’re not a knitter, how would you figure this out?
