Meet the Founders
Hi, I’m Darieana — proud founder of Trend Assistant. With over eight years of experience in recruiting, I’ve had the privilege of leading staffing efforts for Fortune 500 companies like UnitedHealth Group and IBM. Throughout my career, I’ve managed top-tier Filipino virtual assistants. Born in the Philippines and fluent in Tagalog, I’ve always recognized the incredible talent and work ethic of Filipino professionals.
As I grew in my career, I realized we could be doing so much more. With a vision in mind, I brought the idea to my husband, who has firsthand experience in successfully operating businesses. Together, we built Trend Assistant.
Today, Trend Assistant stands as a proud, family-owned, Filipino-led virtual assistant staffing agency dedicated to helping businesses scale smarter. We connect companies with highly skilled, bilingual VAs who deliver exceptional support and real results. Specializing in eCommerce and Real Estate Support, we offer reliable, scalable, and customized staffing solutions tailored to your business goals.
Our commitment goes beyond filling positions — we take a people-first approach, prioritizing trust, cultural alignment, and long-term success. When you partner with Trend Assistant, you gain access to top-tier Filipino talent and a team genuinely invested in your growth.
Let’s build your future, together.
