What is a Virtual Assistant?

A Virtual Assistant is an independent contractor who is in business to help solo entrepreneurs and small businesses outsource their administrative support. Their services allow their clients to get the help they need with their administrative tasks while they focus on the important things, like running their business and generating revenue. Virtual assistants work remotely from their own office (hence "virtual"), using their own equipment and software, providing administrative, technical, creative and other types of services that would usually be handled by an in-house employee.

My business offers executives and busy people alike the opportunity to have their own assistant. You only pay for the hours you need, no employee or agency expenses. Whether its random tasks throughout the week, 4 hours every Friday or a one-off assignment to get you organized. So keep your business running smoothly with Whistler Virtual Assistant! Read More

Who Am I?

Hello, I am Janine Treader and I started Whistler Virtual Assistant in April 2008. I moved to Whistler in May 2004 after spending the previous 11 years traveling the world and for the most part working as a temporary office assistant. This allowed me to move around freely and learn various skills from a multitude of different industries. I missed the flexibility and diversity of temping so decided to return to it but this time working for myself and with a twist. Previous experience includes roles as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, Receptionist, Owner Services Manager and even as a Deckhand/Cook on a 60 foot Sailing Yacht.
