Melany

Hi, I’m Melany, and I’m 45 years old. I’ve spent 10 years working as a domestic helper in Oman, where I took care of a couple and their three kids. My responsibilities included cooking, housekeeping, and looking after the children. Then I moved to Hong Kong, and I’ve been with my current employer for about five months, taking care of two adults and their 8-year-old son. Due to some personal reasons, I’m planning to break my contract, but I’ll wait to find a new employer first. I also have experience caring for the elderly. Back in college, I took care of an elderly couple; the husband was ill, and his wife was 76. When I returned to the Philippines last November 26, 2025, I looked after my mother-in-law, who is 90 years old, for almost six months, helping her with meals, medication, bathing, changing her clothes, and meeting her needs.

My work experience has come with a lot of challenges that have really tested my abilities in different ways. Working abroad isn’t easy, and I had to learn about different cultures, foods, and traditions, and find ways to connect with people. I’ve learned to multitask, respect different opinions and beliefs, and work really hard. I believe in being strong and independent, and I think it's important to share ideas and be open to learning from others. I look forward to the chance to meet you for an interview. Thank you, and have a great day!
