Hired Virtual Assistant through Staffing Agency

Hi Experts! Thank you for hosting!

I have hired a virtual assistant through a staffing agency. They take care of everything (paying them, taxes, forms, etc.). They invoice me for the assistant's hourly wage, plus their fee. How do I/Can I deduct from my taxes? I'm using the self-employed version of TT. Thanks!
