Hey all!

My name is Phillipa and I have been a virtual assistant through oDesk for 9 months and have been absolutely loving it!
Through searching for work at home opportunities (because I have a toddler son) I came across oDesk and then arose the opportunity to become a virtual assistant.
I have 2 constant clients at the moment whom I do work for weekly and 1 whom I do work for every now and then.
The pay is a bit lower than what an average VA would get but it has been a good starting point for me and it has kept our (my family) head above the water.

I'm now ready to start my own VA business and move off of oDesk.
This forum is such a big help to me and although I only joined yesterday I have already discovered and learnt so much!

I hope to speak to and learn from some of the other wonderful VA's here!

Phillipa.

I love this forum so much!! It has helped me tremendously, if it weren't for VAF, I'd probably be 10 steps behind where I'm at now!
