Is anybody here a virtual assistant?

I'm looking into VA work to supplement our income, but I'd love to hear from someone that has already BTDT. The work itself seems straightforward to me, but I'm really curious about how you handle hours and billing. Do you work a set amount of hours for a client, or do you charge for the amount of time it takes to complete a client's tasks? Is it better to charge an hourly rate or something different, like a weekly or monthly rate? Plus, I'm having a little difficulty deciding how much to charge in the first place. I'd love to hear some perspective on this!

I realize that this is an older thread, but I've been a VA for 3 years if you still have questions
