Family Virtual Assistant Institute
A virtual academy for smart women building flexible careers
Every mom deserves the freedom to work in a way that actually works for her.
You want flexibility.
You want purpose.
You want to contribute, without missing what matters most.
You shouldn’t have to choose between earning an income and being present with your family.
You shouldn’t have to settle for burnout or a job that doesn't fit your life.
So what’s the answer?
A flexible, fulfilling career that works with your life—not against it.
There is a way to earn flexible income without having to choose!
It’s not a side hustle.
It’s not corporate.
It’s not selling stuff online to people from high school.
It’s a role that uses the exact skills you already have like organizing, scheduling, managing, anticipating, to help families function better and get paid to do it.
It’s called becoming a Family Virtual Assistant.
So, What is A Family Virtual Assistant?
A Family Virtual Assistant is the behind-the-scenes support every busy family didn’t know they needed—until they find you.
You’re not a nanny.
You’re not running errands.
You’re the organized, proactive, trusted partner who helps keep their family life running smoothly.
And no, you don’t need a fancy resume or years of experience to do it.
You need to be reliable, a problem-solver and good at getting stuff done.
Which, let’s be honest, you’ve been doing for free inside your own home for years.
What do FVAs actually do?
Calendar + schedule management
Travel planning, school forms, and appointment booking
Inbox sorting, reminders, permission slips
All the “I’ll do it later” tasks that never get done—but matter
This isn’t corporate admin work or gig-based freelancing.
This is life management. And you already know how to do it.
Now it’s time to get paid for it.
So… How Do You Actually Become a Family Virtual Assistant?
That’s where the Family Virtual Assistant Institute comes in.
If you’re already the one who keeps life running at home, this program shows you how to turn those exact skills into a flexible, fulfilling career that fits your life.

Who Am I, Exactly?
Hey, I’m Dr. Brittany Bankhead
I’m a trauma surgeon, a mom, a wife—and a woman who had to learn, out of pure necessity, how to stop doing it all and start focusing on what actually mattered.
After burning out in the chaos of “doing everything for everyone,” I realized something:
We weren’t meant to carry all of this alone.
The Family Virtual Assistant Institute was born from both sides of the experience—
As a high-performing mom who needed support, and as a friend watching brilliant women step back from careers without a clear path forward.
This program isn’t about hustling harder.
It’s about helping smart, capable women turn what they’re already amazing at into flexible, paid work that supports families—and fits their lives.
Because you don’t have to choose between presence and purpose.
You get to have both.
“The biggest challenge is finding a flexible job that is truly flexible and financially something I can commit to. This is such a blessing and a great opportunity for our family.” -BV

Kind Words
Here’s What our clients say about us
“Most flexible jobs available right now are pyramid jobs; you can do them on your own time… but the catch is you have to be a salesman to your family and friends. I [wanted] the flexibility to get things done during nap times or a free moment in the car. But I don’t want to rely on asking others to buy things in order for that to be true.” -TG
“I am in a season of life where it would be difficult to go to a job for hours at a time. The ability to work when the time works for me- before kids wake up or after they go to sleep, in between activities, or even from my phone waiting to pick them up- has been incredible.” -JG
“It’s hard to find a role that is virtual, flexible, AND [enough hours]. A lot of virtual positions require you to be on call 24/7 and on during holidays. Other roles are only as needed [which is difficult].”-TA
Your Questions, Answered
-
If you’re smart, organized, driven, a forward-thinker, can handle tasks, like to help people, and can anticipate problems that may arise - you will be a fantastic family virtual assistant. This often includes career shifters, recent graduates who aren’t sure where they will land yet in the workplace, and moms who are great at multitasking.
This opportunity would not be a good fit for individuals who don’t pay attention to detail, can’t think ahead, and who do not plan to do this longer than 3 months time.
-
You are able to join the FVA Institute at any time and will have lifetime access.
-
All graduates of the FVA Institute get 3 months free access to our special curated list on The Grid for families seeking an FVA. However, we also teach you inside the institute how to set up your resume and search for positions on your own, should you choose to go this path instead!
-
This course is intended to be used in the same way the job is intended to be structured- flexible and on your own time! That being said- most individuals say it takes them between 2-4 weeks, depending on their other responsibilities.
-
Yes. You will receive an FVA-Institute certification and can list this on your resume.
You will also receive an invitation to join The Grid!
