Hello everyone. I've been perusing some of the groups and I'm pleased to see that there are serious, intelligent, and helpful people here!

I'm a 35 year old mother of 4, 2 boys - 15 and 11, and 2 girls - 7 and 2 months old! I just returned back to work and life is so hectic. I'm looking into starting my own VA company. Being away from home and my family half the day is just not working for me.

I currently work in the IT field and have over 7 years of support experience under my belt, as well as 6+ years of admin asst experience. I'm hoping and praying that all the skills I have acquired can now be applied to this new endeavour. I just want to be able to be more of a mom and wife, but still do something meaningful and be able to contribute!

I appreciate you taking the time to read this, and am looking forward to any help/advice you can offer me. And if I can be of help to anyone let me know!

Thanks again,

MAinPA

Hello,

Please be sure to include your name somewhere in your signature so people know who to address =) Welcome to the forums! Congratulations on your newest addition to the family! I recently had a baby in May and decided I needed a more family friendly career. Browse around this site, I've found lots of useful information already!

Best of luck,

Jessica

I'm looking to stay with what I'm familiar with and go in to the technology field. Is that who you do work for? Doctors and lawyers?
