Are the assistants in the United States?

No. Assistants live and work in Latin America. Meet My Assistant is a US-managed agency (Sunny Isles Beach, Florida). Operations, matching, and customer success are in the US. If you need a US-based human on a US employment contract, this is not the right model.

How much does a virtual assistant cost with Meet My Assistant?

We quote full-time and part-time after the discovery call, once the role is mapped. Public “from $X/hour” pages usually describe a different product (freelance marketplaces or US-staffed agencies). Ask for a quote if cost is the gate.

Is hiring a virtual assistant worth it versus an employee?

Worth it when the work is operational (inbox, calendar, CRM, follow-up, scheduling) and you do not want payroll, benefits, and recruiting for that seat. Not worth it when you need an in-office employee, a licensed professional, or a one-off $20 task.

How is this different from hiring on Upwork or Fiverr?

You are not the recruiter. We match, you interview, we onboard, and a US manager stays on the account. Marketplace hires can be cheaper on paper; you own sourcing, quality, and replacement.

Can the assistant work in our tools?

Yes, after you grant access — Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, your CRM, EHR, MLS, practice software, or phone system. We do not require you to switch stacks.

Locations

Hire a virtual assistant by state

Same US-managed match. Pick the page for where your business operates.

Matching, onboarding, and performance sit with our team in the United States — so you get timezone-aligned coverage and bilingual English/Spanish without a local W2 hire.

This page is for US founders, agencies, and operators who want a managed seat, not a freelancer they have to source and replace themselves.

Who this is for — and who it is not

A fit if you:

Run a US company and need a full-time or part-time assistant inside your existing tools
Want someone to interview before they touch your inbox, CRM, or calendar
Need bilingual coverage or Latin America timezone overlap (Eastern and Central are the default overlap)
Prefer a Customer Success Manager on the account instead of managing a marketplace vendor

Not a fit if you:

Need the assistant physically in a US office or on a US employment contract
Want the cheapest hourly poster on Fiverr or OnlineJobs.ph
Need licensed work (clinical care, showing homes, practicing law). Those stay with you; we take the operational load around them

If you only need a social, healthcare, real estate, or legal seat, go straight to that pathway. This page is the national hiring model.

How this compares

Use this to self-qualify before a call. We do not publish fake hourly rates here — you get a full-time or part-time quote after we map the role.

Factor	US W2 hire	US-based VA agency	Meet My Assistant	Fiverr / Upwork
Where the person works	Your office or US remote	United States	Latin America	Wherever the freelancer is
Who employs / manages them	You (payroll, HR, backup)	The agency	US-managed matching + a Customer Success Manager	You, deal by deal
Typical cost shape	Salary + benefits + overhead	Premium managed US rates	A fraction of a US W2, with agency oversight	Lowest sticker price; you absorb hiring risk
Backup if someone leaves	You recruit again	Usually yes	Replacement path is part of the model	You post the job again
You interview the person	Yes	Often	Yes — we do not place someone you have not approved	Optional
Best when	You need an in-house employee	You specifically want US-based talent	You want managed LATAM talent for a US company	You have a tiny, well-specified task

Peers that sell “US-based virtual assistants” (Time etc, BELAY-style firms, VirtualAssistUSA) are a different product. If that is the requirement, say so on the call and we will tell you we are not that.

What you can hire

State and city pages (Florida, Miami, New York, Texas, California) are local proof for teams in those places. The hiring process is the same.
