Yes. Many businesses in Chicago use virtual assistants based in North America who work Central hours remotely, so location matters less than time zone and experience.
Most managed services use monthly plans built around a number of hours, agreed on a consultation call so the plan fits your workload.
Chicago is on Central time. Ask for Central-time availability, or an East Coast assistant who shifts their day an hour later to match yours.
