I am so thankful for a place like Approach to work as a virtual assistant. I always wanted a job where I could have the flexibility to work from home so I could be with my kids, and when I was hired, I felt like it was a dream come true! I have loved working for my clients, and I have learned a lot, not just things related to my career but also about many different aspects of small businesses. I am thankful for Approach for providing this opportunity for me to move forward in a career I love!

Flexible.


Working for Ailee in a digital marketing/social media capacity has been a wonderful “back to work” experience, after taking a season off to raise my children. Ailee genuinely and deeply cares for her contract employees and clients alike; she’s a fantastic business “matchmaker.”
In creating content in tandem with her for Approach, I love her desire to share the wisdom & experience she’s gained over years in the field of HR. She combines that with a careful and conscientious framework to output digital communications that are truly meaningful to her clients and online audience. The results for me as a contract employee are that I’ve been able to “go to work” doing a job that I’ve truly enjoyed and where I’ve grown in my skills and knowledge as a VA. I highly recommend Ailee and Approach!

Since joining Approach, I’ve developed new skills, including writing and taking meeting minutes, which have improved my ability to grasp, retain, and share information effectively. What truly sets Approach apart is their kindness and genuine care for their team. I highly recommend Approach Virtual Services to anyone looking to grow personally and professionally in a supportive and empowering environment.
