Testimonial of a current Virtual Assistant

Launched in 2009, I started my Virtual Assistance career as a way to help small businesses that are overwhelmed with paperwork and do not know where to turn for help. My business, The Typing Bug, specializes in offering administrative services to small, mom and pop, rural and family-owned businesses as well as non profits and solo entrepreneurs. The beauty is that it is virtual which means that I can offer the same great service and support to clients anywhere in the country as easily as I can to ones locally.  Visit the website at www.typingbug.com.
