Roselia

Hello! My name is Roselia, I’m 50 years old, and I come from the Philippines. I truly enjoy taking care of children. As a mother of five, I’ve had lots of hands-on experience raising kids, which really helped me build strong caregiving skills. Before I moved to Hong Kong to work as a domestic helper, I worked as a grade school teacher at a small private school back home. Now, I’ve been a domestic helper in Hong Kong for over 9 years with different employers.

My first job in Hong Kong was with a Filipino couple who had a 3-year-old son. I stayed with them for four years as a nanny and household helper. Because we shared the same cultural background, it was pretty easy for me to understand their expectations related to food, childcare, and family routines. Eventually, they didn’t need full-time help anymore since their son started going to an international school and spent more time with them.

After that, I worked for a Chinese couple who had a 9-year-old daughter. While I took care of general household tasks, my main job was to look after and tutor their daughter after school. Since our cultures were different, I had to adjust to their preferences in food and parenting. It was a bit tough at first, but I was dedicated to learning and adjusting. Like many kids her age, their daughter loved hobbies more than homework. To encourage her, I got interested in her favorite things, like K-pop idols. This way, I could also teach her about balancing work and play from a young age. I worked with that family for two years and still keep in touch with my female employer through occasional chats.

Right now, I’m working for a family where my main duties include taking care of their dog, doing household chores, and cooking. Since my employers usually work from home, I make sure to keep the house organized and prepare meals throughout the day. I take the dog for at least two walks each day, and I’ve enjoyed trying out different cooking and baking styles based on their requests. I’ve been with them for over three years, but my contract was recently terminated, and I was released on November 7, 2026. One thing that has helped me succeed in all my roles is my ability to adapt and always put in my best effort. I believe in keeping a good work-life balance. On workdays, I focus completely on my tasks, and on my days off, I love catching up with my family through video calls and chats, plus playing volleyball with friends I’ve made here in Hong Kong. I hope you’ll consider me for a position. I look forward to the chance to meet for an interview. Thank you, and have a wonderful day!
