    Currently I'm a stay-at-home parent to my children. Now they are going to school so I have more time to look for some freelance work. I worked as an administrative assistant for various executives in the Federal Government. Between running my household, and previous work with the Federal Government I can bring some skills to the table. What I can give you: - Quick responses via email, text, or Upwork messaging. I'm a fast learner, and do well learning by watching, or given clear directions and expectations. - Honesty about whether or not I will be able to meet your expectations and the deadline before accepting a contract. - Data entry - Checking and monitoring email boxes - Light bookkeeping (Quickbook entries) - Making travel arrangements or appointments - Administrative assistance What I'm looking for: - Flexible work. You give me a task and a deadline, and I will complete it within that timeframe. - Jobs that could be done before and after business hours. For example, I'm on the East Coast, if a West coast client needs something done while they are still sleeping, but it's morning time here I'm your person! - Jobs that can be done throughout the day, or jobs that need to be completed by COB.
