Whether you want to hire a virtual assistant from a company, find someone on Upwork or hire someone local to you, these are all things to keep in mind when looking at hiring your own virtual assistant for your practice.

Document all these tasks that you do in your business on a regular basis. Start with the ones that could be done by someone else. This will help you easier see what you can delegate to someone else.
Start documenting your processes so you have them ready to train your virtual assistant. You can do this by video or use a Google doc.
Think about what type of services you would like: answering the phone, checking messages, etc.
Conduct an interview, be very clear about expectations, compare it to their experience level.
