Maristela Became A SUCCESSFUL Virtual Assistant With Clarity And Connection

October 27, 2025

This blog features Maristela Portillo, a Filipino Virtual Assistant who found freedom, clarity, and balance through Sphere Rocket Jobs. She loves the flexibility and family time that come with working from home. The client–VA handover gave her clarity and confidence in her work. The Sphere Rocket Jobs connection process made everything smooth and transparent. Maristela’s journey proves that the right support and connection can help any Filipino VA build a successful, balanced, and fulfilling Work From Home career.

A Fresh Start With Freedom

Imagine waking up, grabbing your favorite cup of coffee, and starting your workday right from your own home — no traffic, no stress, and more time for your loved ones.

That’s exactly what Maristela Portillo enjoys every day. She has been working with her client since January of this year, and for her, remote work has been a life-changing experience.

“The best part of working remotely is you have the privilege of working from home or working anywhere. You do not have to travel, and you get to spend most of your extra hours with your family.”

For many Filipinos, this is more than just a job setup — it’s a way to take back time and live life on your own terms.

Why Work From Home is Changing Lives

Before remote work, many Filipinos spent hours each day in traffic just to get to the office. That means less time with family, more stress, and less savings.

But working from home changes that story.
You can:

  • Work comfortably from your home or anywhere with good internet.
  • Spend more time with your family.
  • Save money on transportation and meals outside.
  • Create a better balance between work and life.

For Maristela, these simple things made all the difference.

“You have the privilege of working from home or working anywhere. You do not have to travel and you get to spend most of your extra hours with your family.”

The Power of a Smooth Start

Starting a new role can feel scary, especially for first-time Virtual Assistants. That’s why a clear and smooth handover process matters so much.

Maristela shared how she appreciated the client–VA handover experience through Sphere Rocket Jobs.

“It is probably the client–VA handover. I like it because it gives clearness and sense of direction to both your client and the VA.”

This handover is part of Sphere Rocket Jobs’ matching process. It helps both the VA and the client understand expectations, goals, and responsibilities right from the start.

No confusion. No guessing. Just clear direction.

What Makes the Handover Process Important

When you’re new to working from home, communication is everything.

The handover process gives both you and your Engagement Partner (the U.S.-based business owner) a chance to:

  • Discuss your roles and daily tasks
  • Align goals and expectations
  • Understand workflows and priorities

This helps build trust and confidence early on — and for Virtual Assistants like Maristela, it makes a huge difference in how smoothly work goes.

Question for you:
Wouldn’t it feel great to start a new Work From Home role where everything is clear from day one?

That’s exactly what Sphere Rocket Jobs helps Filipino VAs experience.

The Connection Process That Makes It All Possible

Sphere Rocket Jobs is a free job-matching platform that connects Filipino Virtual Assistants with U.S.-based business owners (Engagement Partners).

It’s not a recruiter or employer — it’s a connector that helps you find the right client based on your skills and goals.

Here’s how it works:

  1. You join the Talent Pool at www.spherejobs.ph.
  2. You attend a Matching Opportunity Session where the team learns about your experience, skills, and preferred work setup.

  3. Once there’s a fit, you’re matched with a U.S.-based business owner (Engagement Partner).
  4. You work directly with your Engagement Partner — no agency cuts, no middlemen, no hidden fees.

This transparent system allows Filipino talents like Maristela to focus on what matters most: doing great work and building strong client relationships.

The best part about the Sphere Rocket Jobs process is how supportive it feels from start to finish.

The team makes sure talents feel guided, informed, and ready before they’re matched.
That’s why so many Filipino VAs trust Sphere Rocket — it’s not just about getting matched; it’s about being part of a community that helps you grow.

Whether you’re a beginner or experienced VA, you’ll find training, community events, and support designed to help you succeed in your Work From Home career.

Why Filipino VAs Love Remote Work

Virtual Assistants like Maristela are proof that working from home is not just a trend — it’s a new way of living and working that fits the Filipino lifestyle.

Here’s why so many love it:

  • Flexibility — You can work from anywhere.
  • Time Freedom — Spend more time with family and loved ones.
  • Cost Savings — No need to pay for transportation or expensive meals.
  • Comfortable Environment — Work in your own space, your own way.

For many, this setup brings more than convenience — it brings peace of mind and a sense of balance.

Building Clarity and Confidence

Maristela’s story also highlights how clarity brings confidence.
When you know exactly what’s expected from you and your client, you can perform better and build trust faster.

This is what the Sphere Rocket process is built on — clear communication and strong connections.

“The client–VA handover gives clearness and sense of direction to both your client and the VA.”
