What if you didn’t have to do everything yourself?

In this episode, Ellie talks with speech language pathologist and virtual assistant Jenna Cairo about how she built a thriving VA business while working full time in the schools and parenting two young children. Jenna shares how she went from searching LinkedIn for flexible side jobs to launching her own virtual assistant services for SLPs and quickly growing to 14 clients in just a few months.

She explains what it looks like to specialize as an SLP virtual assistant for private practice owners and telepractice clinicians, including concrete examples of the tasks she takes off their plates: scheduling and systems, mileage tracking, social media content, Canva marketing, billing follow up, and practice operations. Jenna and Ellie also talk about the mindset shifts needed to delegate, how to know when you are ready to hire a VA, and how even a few hours a month can reduce overwhelm for school based and private practice SLPs. This conversation is especially helpful for speech therapists who feel stretched thin, are curious about bringing on a virtual assistant, or are considering starting their own SLP focused VA side business.
