Personal Virtual Assistants
A MyOutDesk personal virtual assistant handles your travel arrangements, calendar management, email, task coordination, and personal logistics, giving you back the time to focus on what truly matters.
Why Personal VAs
Delegate Your Tasks With Confidence
Between meetings, travel, emails, and the dozens of personal tasks that pile up every day, it's easy to feel stretched too thin. The tasks that seem small individually add up to hours of lost productivity every week.
Our personal virtual assistants take the daily busywork off your plate, managing your calendar, coordinating travel, handling email, running errands, and keeping your projects on track so you can focus on high-impact work and personal priorities.
MyOutDesk personal virtual assistants are carefully vetted for reliability and discretion, saving you up to 70% compared to a traditional in-house personal assistant.

Pablo Ramirez
Feb 2022All I'm going to say is that my business has more than doubled in the first 3 months of working with Pearl, my very amazing VA from My MOD Desk. If you are stressed, weeded out from all the admin duties a business requires on a daily basis, or if you'd simply like to scale your business and have more time on your hands to make more money, then I DEFINITELY recommend hiring a VA from My MOD Desk. I don't know HOW I would successfully keep growing my Real estate company without my amazing VA Pearl. HUGE thank you to My MOD Desk for connecting me with my amazing Administrative Virtual Assistant! Pablo Ramirez, P.A. Real estate Broker-Associate United Realty Group, Inc.

Yes. Our personal VAs can research and book flights, hotels, rental cars, and restaurants. They can build full itineraries, manage changes and cancellations, and handle all the logistics so your trips run smoothly.

What tools and platforms can your personal VAs work with?
Our personal VAs work with common productivity tools including Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, Asana, Trello, Notion, Calendly, Zoom, and more. They adapt quickly to whatever tools you already use.
Will my personal virtual assistant be dedicated or shared?

How quickly can we get started?
We can onboard a personal virtual assistant in as little as 7 days. We just need to understand your daily tasks, tools, and preferences to match you with the right VA.
Do MyOutDesk virtual assistants use a password manager?
Yes. We require every VA to share and store credentials through a password manager - never in plain text, email, chat, or browser autofill. We can use the password manager your team already runs on (1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, Dashlane, Keeper, or similar) or provide one. Access can be revoked instantly when the engagement ends.
Can I bring my own non-disclosure agreement (NDA)?
Yes, we are happy to work with you to get an NDA between your virtual assistant and your company signed. We also provide a default NDA that protects all our clients.
