American Virtual Assistants

For Small Business Owners Who Need Part-Time Assistance


If you're a successful small business owner who struggles with too much administrative work but you can't find a part-time assistant locally to help you, then Secretary in Israel will provide you with a highly experienced, college-educated, American virtual assistant. Your assistant will work for your business on a part-time basis from her home in Israel.

This arrangement gives you the best of both worlds -- the talent and experience of hiring domestically but at international, reduced, outsourced rates.

Your American virtual assistant can literally run your entire office and handle all of your To Dos for you virtually (especially all of those tasks that you can't stand to do!). As a result, you'll have your time to focus on making money by being able to meet with current clients, market to prospective clients, or develop new products.

Sharon Melnick, New York City, New York

"I was experiencing the classic entrepreneur's syndrome -- trying to do it all by myself and feeling overwhelmed. Secretary in Israel worked with me and found me a virtual assistant who is FABULOUS.

"My virtual assistant has totally freed up my time. It's an indescribable feeling of relief to know that I can hand off a whole series of things to an assistant who I know will get them done. I highly recommend Secretary in Israel."

3 Levels of Virtual Assistants to Meet Your Needs


In order to serve you better, we offer 3 levels of American virtual assistants:

Craig Slayen, San Francisco Bay Area, California

"I used to waste 3 or 4 hours each day on administrative work. After reading The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss, I decided to work with Secretary in Israel to outsource my administrative tasks.

"With my virtual assistant booking my calendar and handling my To Do's, I now meet every day with either a current or potential new client and or a referral partner.

"I am so happy with Secretary in Israel that I have referred them to a number of my colleagues, who have also signed up with them."
