What is a Virtual Assistant?

Virtual Assistants (VA) are business owners who provide administrative support while working in long-term, collaborative relationships with only a handful of clients. Using a variety of ways to communicate, like through email, online workspaces and the like, VAs support their clients’ needs without needing to ever step foot in their clients’ offices. As more businesses and corporations move online and the idea of working from home is not so foreign, more and more people are utilizing Virtual Assistants to learn how to attract talents.

My services help to alleviate your workload or can be used to supplement the work of your other employees who may have their hands full. Utilizing a Virtual Assistant, like myself, with a trusted and reliable reputation is not only going to help you gain more hours of your day back, but you will also be more productive and less stressed.

Additionally, I can assist with tasks such as managing appointments, responding to emails, and organizing check stubs.

About Me

My name is Christine Swanson and I am the owner of SwansonSimpleSolutions, LLC which I created in 2008. I have a degree in Office Systems Technology, Administrative Assistant from Gateway Technical College and I have 15 years experience working in the corporate world as an administrative assistant before moving to my Virtual Assistant business full-time.

I started SwansonSimpleSolutions, LLC because I wanted to break out of the corporate box. As a Virtual Assistant, I have an outlet for my talents and abilities, and the flexibility to be a present mom and wife. I am detailed-oriented, organized, and am dedicated to providing you with valuable administrative support for your business needs.

I am a busy “mompreneur” dedicated to my family but passionate about my business! In my spare time I like to read, do craft projects and eat ice cream sundaes with my children!

Customer Reviews

Without Christine Swanson, I could not run my business. It is that simple. She manages my calendar, keeps my client files, suggests and creates reports to make me more efficient…..the list goes on. As a coach, I need to focus on the needs of my clients, not the admin it takes to run my business. Her support lets me do just that. I think everyone should be fortunate enough to work with her.
