Catherine

Hi! How are you, my future employer? 😊 My name is Catherine Santos. I’m 36 years old, and I was born in the year of the horse. I’m married and have three lovely daughters: Cherry Mae, who is 17, Angela, who is 15, and Alyssa Mae, who is 12.

I have two years of work experience in the Middle East, where I took care of elderly people with kidney failure. My duties included laundry, ironing, cooking, cleaning, bathing her, feeding her, giving massages, and combing her hair.

I've also worked for five years in Singapore as a foreign domestic helper.

My first employer was a Pakistani family with four members: two adults and two girls, aged 9 and 7. I worked in a condo unit, where I took care of cooking, cleaning, washing, and ironing clothes. I would also take the girls to and from school, go with them on playdates, and do grocery shopping. I worked with them for a year and four months until they got permanent residency and moved to Australia.

My second employer was a Chinese Singaporean family with five members: two adults and three teenagers aged 22, 20, and 18. I worked alone in a four-story house with six rooms and seven toilets. I cleaned four rooms and five toilets daily, walked the dogs in the morning and afternoon, and cooked three to four meals every day. I also did laundry, grocery shopping once a week, bathed the dogs every two weeks, watered the plants, and did general cleaning once a week. I finished my three-year contract with them.

I’m hoping to find a new employer soon. Thank you!

I’m currently in the Philippines.
