Transforming your to-do list into a done list.

I believe that women deserve to have thriving lives that aren’t built on chaos and hustle but on personalized processes and time-efficient systems so that they spend time doing the things they actually love doing.

You're a career woman trying to manage it all.

Business obligations, kids' activities, birthday parties, quality time with family…the list goes on and on. 

You keep saying to yourself, “If only I had more time, I could…

→ Answer those long-awaited emails

→ Have an organized filing system to make searching for anything a breeze 

→ Follow up on more business opportunities 

→ Manage the paperwork and digital clutter

→ Book all the appointments I’ve been putting off for months 

→ Get quotes for the home improvement project that really needs to be done

→ Organize school memory box keepsakes or any other kid’s chaos

→ Create art books to minimize paper and systematize those special art projects 

→ Turn those dusty VHS and video camera tapes into digital masterpieces

→ Fall in love with the home office all over again 

→ Plan the next big blow-out party 

You’re in just the right spot, friend!

That’s where I come in.

Hi, I’m Shayla.

Aka The Chaos Coordinator.

I support career women and working moms by creating digital organization systems and offering personal assistant services to declutter the mess so that they have more time for the things that matter most, like spending quality time with their families and focusing on strategic decisions in their businesses. 

As The Chaos Coordinator, I’m more than the common Virtual Assistant. I partner with my clients and build a trusting and honest relationship. Your privacy and confidentiality matter most, which is why I take strategic measures to keep your information safe and secure and rely on transparent communication with my clients.

As a working mom myself, I completely understand how much can be on our plates at once. Without having organized systems and decluttered spaces, it’s difficult to focus on the task at hand or get the list of to-do’s accomplished. 

Since partnering together, my clients have been able to plan vacations, attend their kid’s events more regularly, follow up on business opportunities, be more present outside of work, and have simpler and more peaceful everyday lives. 

They’ve also been able to free up their time to pursue the passion projects they’ve been itching to start or enjoy time away from the business to spend with friends and family.

Because life shouldn’t be all work and no play!

How BETTER THAN A BOT started…

My plan to continue growing professionally in the corporate world suddenly changed after 15 years of dedicated service. I was left feeling disappointed, undervalued, and unappreciated as I realized that there was little room for me to grow. 

Knowing that my gifts and skills would be of service and value to someone's business and help them thrive professionally and personally, it was time to follow my passion and support businesswomen and working moms to crush their goals and follow their dreams.

Better Than A Bot was born to help career women and working moms coordinate the chaos in their lives so that they never miss another milestone and have time to pursue their passions. 

I take a different approach than most VA’s out there…

#1

I prefer a high-touch approach, building meaningful relationships with my clients, and offering packages that go beyond typical VA services.

#2

I don’t believe in all work, no play, so we will implement systems that promote healthy work-life integration.

#3

I don’t keep the methods to staying organized to myself and am transparent in my systems so that you have access to all the tools that work.

ABOVE ALL ELSE, I VALUE…

  • ACCOUNTABILITY

    Honouring commitments and taking responsibility for desired outcomes, not settling for excuses, and following through with accomplishing what is intended.

  • CONSISTENCY

    This is the key to producing a high-level standard of work using customized and efficient systems designed to save time again and again.

  • HONESTY

    What we say and what we do must align. I approach every client with integrity and communicate with transparency.

  • ORGANIZATION

    Order, anticipation, plans, and consistency help with productivity, efficiency, quality, and mastery. Which for you means happy clients and a thriving business.

  • THOUGHTFULNESS

    Seeking to solve problems by providing answers, solutions, care, and consideration that exceed all expectations.

“Getting organized is a sign of self-respect.”

— Gabrielle Bernstein
