Katie Baird’s Summary
11 years as owner of Loose Ends, a Virtual Assistance company in Prescott Arizona. The type of work I do is also referred to as "Remote Professional."
What all that means is that I provide offsite support services to my clients, who are scattered throughout the United States.
My current goal is to break into a new niche: I would like to provide support services Sports Agents and Major League Baseball players whose busy on-the-go lives may not leave them time to attend to the various details of life, such as arranging to transport their vehicles, bill paying, and other arrangements which must often be made on short notice.
I really enjoy meeting with Virtual Assistants throughout the U.S., and building a strong referral network in that way. I also love helping those new to the VA/Remote Professional professions, via in-person meetings and through my blog, Loosely Speaking, where there are many resources for VAs and other entrepreneurs.
Katie Baird’s Specialties:
Most of my work falls into one of three categories: web development (in particular a LOT of web site maintenance and blog support), graphic design, photography, and project management for small to medium businesses.
I provide support services in other areas as well for my clients. The longer I work with them, the more areas for collaboration we discover.
