Marilou

I’ve been a Domestic Helper in Singapore for 12 years, and I’ve worked with three different families. My first employer was an elderly lady who was 88 years old and had trouble with her legs. I helped her with daily tasks and did housework, and I completed my contract with her.

For my second employer, I took care of three kids. One of them had special needs due to Global Developmental Delay, and I looked after the other two siblings as well. The children were 3, 7, and 9 years old—two girls and one boy who needed extra support. I also helped them with their homework while doing housework, and I finished my contract with that family too.

With my third employer, my main job was caring for the children. When I joined, I started with just one child, a 4-year-old boy. Later, I raised his two younger siblings from the time they were newborns until they were 7 and 4 years old. I also took care of four chinchillas. Along with housework, I helped the kids with their homework, and I completed my contract with them as well.

I consider myself a hard worker who is patient, trustworthy, and loyal. I’m committed to my job and dedicated to doing it well. I’m a good listener and open to learning new things, and I can work without needing constant supervision. I always treat the people around me with respect and kindness.
