My Story

Hi! I’m Ally Forshay, your new virtual assistant. My entire career has been built around helping others, first within the non-profit world, then as a classroom teacher, and for the last 7 years, as a school counselor. I’ve always put people first, no matter the work and no matter the age.

Now, I’m focused on helping businesses and families like yours complete the tedium taking time away from the real work. Let me help you turn your to-do list into a to-done list!

Why “Like Magic”?

When naming my business, I wanted something that truly reflects who I am. “Like Magic” stems from the two P’s:

  • Personality—I have such a love for all things whimsical, nostalgic, and magical. Disney, LEGO, board games… anything that brings me a sense of joy!

  • Professionalism—Call me the Queen of Spreadsheets! Whether creating an organizational system, building an itinerary, or answering emails, I show up to work with a positive attitude and a strong work ethic.

“Ally has organized our family events over the past 3 summers. For our most recent family reunion, she planned the itinerary, arranged travel, scheduled activities, and booked reservations. Ally’s communication was on point, and everything was handled with care. I highly recommend working with LMVS!”
