Maricris

Hi, I’m Maricris. I’m Filipino and 48 years old. I’m currently living in the Philippines and I'm single. I have 8 years of experience as a Domestic Helper in Hong Kong, and I’m looking for a new employer. If you have any questions for me, feel free to reach out!

My time working overseas has really taught me a lot. I’ve mostly taken care of elderly people, which means I had to be patient and adjust to their needs. I also got to learn about new cultures, foods, and different tasks. Taking care of elderly individuals has shown me how important patience is; I treat them just like my own parents and try to be a good companion for them. It’s been a learning experience beyond what I gained in school. Even though I didn’t graduate as a nurse, I had to help with their medication, monitor their blood pressure, and check their blood sugar levels. I even learned how to do peritoneal dialysis and give insulin injections. One of the elderly I cared for had a son who was a doctor, and he taught me how to do dialysis for his father. Overall, working abroad has required a lot of adjustments and good time management.
