How to Find the Right Personal Assistant For ADHD Adults
Finding a virtual assistant that you connect with and still has the relevant experience can feel like an overwhelming task, especially for those of us with ADHD.
This is why I have created this guide to the top 5 steps to take when finding a personal assistant for ADHD adults!
Keep reading to find out how to select the right virtual assistant for you.
Decide What Tasks You Need Help With
The first thing you need to get really clear on when hiring a personal assistant for ADHD adults is what type of support you’re looking for within your business.
There are virtual assistants for pretty much every single task.
However, going into a discovery call with an idea of the tasks you need help with in mind will help us to better place you with the right assistant.
Virtual assistance can help with tasks such as:
Social media management
Accountability
Project planning
Systems, processes & automation building
General administration
Bookkeeping
Copywriting
Website building
Task breakdown
And so much more!
To help you determine the sort of tasks that you need outsourcing, think about three to five tasks that you dislike doing or are always at the bottom of your to-do list!
As your relationship with your virtual assistant develops, you can then outsource more tasks which will free up even more time for you to work on things that you enjoy.
Morals & Personality
When looking for your perfect personal assistant for ADHD adults, you need to make sure that your personalities align. Values are so, so important!
After booking a discovery call with us, you will then meet with the virtual assistant that we select to see if your personalities get along. We call this a ‘chemistry call’.
We understand how important it is to not only have a good working relationship but also feel as though you can talk freely with the virtual assistant.
We also understand that we all have different personalities, so we work hard to ensure that we match a virtual assistant that is aligned with you and your morals. But that also has the skills required!
Experience
The next thing you need to look out for is a virtual assistant who has the relevant experience to be able to help you with those tasks.
Searching for a virtual assistant can be totally overwhelming, which is why we take the hassle out of finding the right virtual assistant for you.
We have a list of expert virtual assistants specifically trained to work with those with ADHD who have experience in all different kinds of skills.
Understanding of ADHD Symptoms
Another huge aspect of hiring a personal assistant for ADHD adults is making sure that the virtual assistant understands the impact of ADHD symptoms on your business and your life.
As I mentioned, we specifically train virtual assistants to understand the symptoms of ADHD and tools and techniques to support those with ADHD.
Our virtual assistants are more than happy to do body doubling sessions, attend early morning meetings to get you into a workflow, to be your accountability buddy and so much more.
Consider Your Budget
The next thing you need to consider when hiring a personal assistant for ADHD adults is your budget.
How many hours are you looking to spend with your virtual assistant?
And what type of budget do you have in mind?
By booking a discovery call with us we can discuss your budget and determine how many hours would be suitable to fit that.
One thing to keep in mind though is that hiring a low-cost virtual assistant is not always the best route to choose.
The right virtual assistant for you may not be the cheapest virtual assistant.
That being said, it is far better to pay for fewer hours but with more quality than pay for a lot of hours for a less quality service.
