Marie Jones.
Virtual Assistant

„Where trust works behind the scenes and creates time for what matters most.“

Your virtual assistant based in Australia – supporting clients in Germany and Australia in German and English.

I support real estate professionals, property managers, and entrepreneurs with reliable back-office and operational support, ensuring smooth day-to-day operations in the background.

For clients in Germany, this means: while you sleep, I take care of your tasks. Thanks to the time difference with Australia, communication, organization, and operational processes are handled efficiently overnight—so you can start your day with results already in place.

I support real estate companies, start-ups, and short-term rental businesses in back-office operations and ensure smooth day-to-day processes. At the same time, I actively relieve CEOs and founders in their daily workload, allowing them to stay focused on what truly matters.

The collaboration with Marie is of exceptionally high value to me and represents a key success factor in my professional daily work. She works reliably, in a highly structured manner, and with great conscientiousness, which allows me to fully trust the quality and punctuality of her deliverables at all times.

What stands out in particular is her ability to quickly and independently familiarise herself with new subject areas. This enables her to respond flexibly to different requirements and provide effective support across a wide range of tasks.

For me, this collaboration results in a noticeable and lasting relief in my day-to-day work, allowing me to focus more strongly on my core competencies. In addition, our professional relationship is always pleasant, highly professional, and based on mutual trust.

I can fully and unreservedly recommend working with her.

— Christine H., Founder Home Staging Business, Germany

“I worked with Marie during the purchase and handover of a property in Portugal, where she supported me as a co-host and assisted with the day-to-day operations. From the very beginning, she was proactive, highly organized, and consistently reliable. When issues arose, she didn’t just point them out but also brought forward practical solutions.

She used her extensive experience to explain complex matters in a clear and understandable way. Her communication was always fast and transparent, which made the entire process much smoother than I had expected.

Marie is an absolute pleasure to work with, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for professional support.”

— Sanjay S., Short-term rental business owner, Portugal

About Me

Until November 2025, I built and managed my own Airbnb business in Portugal – a project that was far more than just renting out properties. It was about creating spaces where people immediately feel welcome. With this mindset, I achieved Superhost status and, over the years, learned what true hospitality means in detail: clear communication, proactive thinking, and a seamless experience from the first message to the final review.

This time has shaped me – not only operationally, but also on a personal level. I learned to take full responsibility for entire processes, bring calm into complex situations, and keep an eye on every detail at the same time. What has always been especially important to me is that guests feel seen and well taken care of – no matter where in the world they arrive.

In parallel, I have been working successfully as a virtual assistant in a remote setting for two years, supporting clients with the structured organization and optimization of their operational processes.

Today, I bring this entire experience into my work as a virtual assistant for short-term rentals, start-ups, and executive support. I help my clients create structure, simplify processes, and reliably manage their day-to-day operations in the background – allowing more space for growth, strategy, and what truly matters.

I work calmly, in a structured way, and with a strong commitment to quality. Reliability and clarity are not extras for me, but the foundation of every collaboration.

EDUCATION

I began my professional career with an apprenticeship as an Event Manager at a conference center in Hanover, where I learned the fundamentals of planning, organizing, and executing events in practice.

During this time, I developed strong skills in structured working, coordinating processes, and maintaining oversight even in dynamic situations.

Following this, I studied Cultural Work at the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam, where I successfully completed my Bachelor of Arts.

This degree broadened my perspective on cultural, social, and conceptual contexts and strengthened my ability to think about and implement projects in

a holistic way.
