Hi, I’m Melodie, Founder of MelodieFaery VA Services
When the time-consuming tasks start piling up, I step in so you don’t have to carry it all alone.
I’ve been a virtual assistant since 2020. I help women who are mothers or have chronic health issues ditch the stress and overwhelm of the having a to-do list that’s longer than the hours of the day so they can have some work-life balance without burnout or feeling guilty for sacrificing time and energy in choosing their life over their work or vice versa.
Are You…
- a mother who runs a small business either out of her home, or in a separate space close to home
- a woman with chronic mental or physically illnesses
- finding yourself with more items on a to-do list than working hours in a day
- needing to expand to another social platform, start a newsletter, write a blog post or other backend admin work
- slowly starting to feel like you’re drowning in business and the family sacrifices are becoming to much
- thinking you need someone for a single project, instead of an ongoing basis
…then you’re in the right place!
I was ready to switch…
I was a stay at home mom, running a different kind of business, that I had fallen out of love with. I had planned to relaunch what I was doing, or I would switch gears to doing something else. I came across someone else’s post in one of the groups that I was in at the time, of a woman looking for someone who was graphic-savvy and could help her create shop graphics, and daily engagement posts for her business group.
I had already made some engagement graphic packs, one of the passive business adventures that I was toying with that could’ve grown into something else, so I had a ready-made example, and she was thankful to have someone take over with making of the graphics.
Once I started helping my first client
I had made up my mind to shift my focus away from the business that I had fallen out of love with, and transitioned my business into something different. I found I prefer helping women business owners with their busy tasks, and helping them get a clearer head once these tasks are taken care of. I love taking a task that is overwhelming to someone, and knocking it down piece by piece until it’s done. Once done and I share the finished product, the relief that comes from the client is something I find so rewarding.
…But it hasn’t always been easy.
As a virtual assistant, and as a small business owner, my journey of being my own boss has had its ups and downs. I’ve run into the same problems that other mothers and women in small business run into – burn out from daily tasks, sickness in children, chronic illness flare ups, etc. What I has really helped me move through these struggle times are: strong boundaries, automating what can be automated, enlisting help in tasks that do not need my face, and focusing on the successes I’ve had along the way.
That’s how I developed my REST system for my clients.
Receive, Execute, Streamline, Touch-base.
We’ll talk about what’s draining you, and what I can take over for you in your business. I will take over those tasks, and complete them. I will take the time to make it easier as we go – templates, task managers, automations – that will save us both time, so you can focus on what YOU want to do. And I will make sure I keep in touch as the tasks get completed (we’ll chat so much, your chat will still permanently open in my million open tabs) to make sure any changes happen in a timely manner.
Just Because You’re in Business for Yourself, Doesn’t Mean You have to do it by Yourself
