Virtual Assistant – Small Trades Business (Ottawa, Canada) | Part-Time

I run a small pest control and wildlife removal company in Ottawa, Canada. It's just me and one technician. I need someone reliable who can handle admin and marketing tasks so I can focus on the field work and customer calls.
This is part-time to start — roughly 10–15 hours per week — with potential to grow.
What you'll actually do:
Reply to Google reviews using my tone and templates
Maintain our Google Business Profile (photos, updates, flagging issues)
Draft short social media captions from job photos I send you
Help prep invoices and follow up on unpaid accounts by email/SMS
Light SEO content tasks — updating service pages, drafting blog posts with my direction
You're a good fit if:
You've supported a trades or home services business before (pest control, HVAC, landscaping, cleaning — anything similar)
Your written English is clean and direct — not corporate, not fluffy
You're organized and don't need hand-holding once you understand a task
You follow instructions carefully
You're not a good fit if:
You're looking for a large company with a big team
You need a lot of structure built for you from scratch
You apply to every job posting without reading it
To apply: Send your application to ---------- the subject line, write OTTAWA PEST — applications without this will not be opened. In your first paragraph, tell me one specific thing about running a small business in Canada that's different from the US. Keep your message under 300 words.
Pay: $7–9 CAD/hr depending on experience. Paid weekly via Wise.
