Make sure you give your Virtual Assistant all the necessary instructions before you hand over any tasks. Talk over your arrangements in detail like the number of working hours you expect her to be online, the exact time zone and her days off (which may or may not fall on your weekend). Also reach agreements on how and when payment is to be made, whether through Paypal or wire transfer, and the fees and charges for overtime and extra work, and any other additional arrangements.
After you have talked over the arrangements and the specific agreements, put them on paper, so they can be referred to at a later time by both parties to avoid any misunderstandings and problems. Do include a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement among the contracts in order to protect your business.
In hiring a VA offer a reasonable salary based on their skill set, you can pay by the hour or per project, then you may decide to increase their salary after a probationary period if they are great and worth keeping.
