Working with Ailee feels like being part of a boutique team that truly values both clients and assistants. She takes the time to carefully match VAs with the right opportunities and handles the behind-the-scenes logistics so everyone can just focus on doing great work. Having worked independently and with larger VA agencies, I’ve seen the full spectrum of what this industry can be. It’s rare to find an agency that runs this smoothly and thoughtfully. Ailee just gets it!

Working as a Virtual Assistant has provided me with the freedom in my day-to-day life I desired as my husband and I started growing our family. Having the ability to still work and put my skills towards something while also being available to what my home needs has been a huge blessing! Ailee and the Approach team are all so great, understanding, and encouraging and are always looking out for my best interests.

MARKETING

Versatile.


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!
