Your Virtual Personal Assistant Experiences

I am looking for a good virtual personal assistant and was wondering if anyone could recommend a service they are happy with.

What I am looking for:

Someone too keep my calendar organized.

Send me reminders. (Bills,birthdays,anniversaries, important meetings/events.)

Web/Data Market research

Be able to handle multiple computer tasks, keyword research, photoshop work, article/blog writing. Proof reading, re-writting.

Social Media work, facebook,twitter posts etc...

Organization of my ideas,

Someone to hold me accountable for staying on task. ( I easily get sidetracked.)

Right now I'm looking at:
www.LongerDays.com - Great services, US Assistants, 7 Day Free Trial, Expensive. (Avg. $20hr)

www.Taskseveryday.com - Great Services (Base Assistant but they have specialists for certain types of projects at no extra charge,ie Photoshop,Excel experts.),India Assistance,Competitve Prices with several time plans ($7-$10hr)

www.timesvr.com - Little Unclear on full services, Singapore Based,Excellent Price (Full Time person 48 hrs a week $850 a month $6hr approx.)

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions and feedback on any of these services or any other services.
I am slightly leaning toward www.taskseveryday.com currently.

If you are willing to go offshore, try odesk . com. You'll need to REALLY REEALLY go through the resumes of people responding to your posting, but you are likely to find someone with a college degree and software experience willing to work for $3-5 per hour.

Their search interface also lets you sort for things like hourly rate, ratings by previous employers, hours of experience on odesk, etc.

i use taskseveryday and am quite happy with them. Have had no issues, am impressed with the knowledge and clear communication from our assistant. We speak on Skype, he understands everything clearly and everything is going smoothly so far.

i use elance for this type of stuff, some very good and cheap workers on there

i think those sites charge a lot, i like the ones in my office. I am planning to start off a service and offer virtual assistant services for something like $200 to 250 a month.

How many hours would that include per month, or is it going to be task/list based?

funny, i just added a page on my site to do personal virtual assistant.

I do have to say you get what you pay for and from the laundry list of things you want do you really think a 7.00 hour person can do all that and not take 3 hours where the 20 hour person will do it all in 1 hour?

I did just see a post on makeuseof.com on a calender that will email and text you reminders, dont have the post handy or Id give it. That migh work for some things for you.

scriptlance and getafreelancer are still my top choices for outsourcing. You do need to pick the right ones though.

will tell you once i launch the service. I plan for 8 hours a day for 5.5 days a week.
