Personal Assistant vs. Virtual Assistant: Why In-Person Support is Superior

Written By: Jami Dennis

VA’s Are All the Rage, But Personal Assistants Offer More

Hire a VA, they say…it’s all the rage, but a Virtual Assistant is not the answer for most busy individuals. When considering hiring support, particularly for roles requiring comprehensive assistance beyond mere task management, a Personal Assistant (PA) stands out as the superior choice over a Virtual Assistant (VA) for US-based employers. 

The Differences – According to ABC Clients:

Unlike their virtual counterparts, Personal Assistants offer a broad spectrum of services that extend beyond mere remote coordination. They provide invaluable support that transcends the limitation of virtual interaction. They can:

  • Schedule appointments
  • Manage calendars
  • Draft daily email correspondence
  • Answer and return phone calls
  • Research and plan travel
  • Coordinate and support events and more…

Further, Personal Assistants not only execute tasks, but they also anticipate their employer’s needs. Their physical presence enables them to seamlessly integrate themselves into your daily operations. By working alongside you, they’re are able to foster a deeper understanding of your preferences, needs, and the nuances of your day-to-day life. They’re a proactive, hands-on support system in your very own home. Here are a few more things they can do:

  • Research and oversee household vendors
  • Tackle household organization projects
  • Assist with grocery shopping
  • Help with meal preparation
  • Run errands
  • Pack (and unpack) for trips
  • Help with holiday decorating 
  • Assist with party planning
  • Facilitate transportation for family members, including children, and more…

By investing in a PA, busy individuals gain a versatile partner capable of addressing diverse demands with efficiency, reliability, and personalized attention. They provide a level of service that virtual assistance simply cannot match.
