I've taken great care of newborn babies for my previous employers in Al Ain and Oman. When the babies wake up, I make sure to take them outside for some sunlight when it's appropriate. I let their backs soak in the sun. Before giving them a bath, I warm the water and use virgin coconut oil on their bodies and hair, giving them a gentle massage and some exercises to help wake them up. I always lay a clean towel in their bath bin to protect their skin from the plastic and avoid irritation. I use the soap recommended by my madam for their baths. During bath time, I sing them a hymn to keep them calm. I cover their ears and use a sponge with warm water to clean them. After the bath, I dry them with a clean towel, apply lotion and powder, and get them dressed and diapered. Then, I give them milk and help them burp after feeding.

I also prepare and cook baby food according to what my madam recommends. I wash their clothes, separating colors from whites, and then dry, iron, and organize them in the closet. I clean the bathroom, bedroom, living area, and any furniture that needs dusting. I mop, wipe surfaces, vacuum the floors, and even clean the lights using a folding stool. I help in the kitchen by preparing and cooking Arabic food, washing dishes, and tidying up.

Right now, I’m a nanny for my five nieces. I cook, do housework, clean, wash dishes, and take care of their seven dogs. I usually start my day early, waking up around 5 or 6 in the morning. I prepare breakfast for the kids before they go to school, then I take them to school. After that, I go to the market to buy vegetables, meat, or fish, and then I come home to cook. At 10 a.m., I feed the dogs and clean up after them. Around 11, I head to school to deliver lunch for the kids. In the evening, I help them with their lessons and assignments, giving them space to think and come up with their answers first. After that, I guide them to the correct answers and help them understand by doing some research together.

I really value time and am attentive to daily needs. I respect others’ privacy and keep to myself most of the time, only speaking up when it’s necessary. I try to read the room before I say anything.

That’s all. Thank you!
