Meet Kelly, full-time mum and Virtual Assistant. Currently living in Gosport with her son and partner, Kelly became a VA so she was able to spend more time with her family and get out of the 9 to 5 routine. If Kelly was on holiday, she’d be setting sail on a cruise, and travelling is at the top of her bullet list. Kelly’s daily habits include getting woken up by a chatty baby, enjoying a cold cup of tea and some toast (although the toast by choice), and making sure she gets out and about at least once a day!

And a cheeky stash of Cadbury choccies…
