My work experience in Hong Kong as a domestic helper includes two significant positions:

In my first job, I cared for two elderly individuals, known as Popo (grandmother) and Khung (grandfather). Grandpa, who is over 90 years old, has been living with one foot due to an illness, which means we used a wheelchair for mobility. I assisted him with daily tasks such as lying in bed and using the toilet, ensuring he received proper elderly care. Grandma, who is in her 80s, was also under medication for various health issues. My responsibilities included cooking Chinese meals, doing the marketing, and handling household chores like washing dishes, laundry, ironing, car washing, and running errands for groceries. Additionally, I accompanied both grandparents to the hospital for their check-ups.

For my second job, I took care of a family of four: two working adults and their two children, ages 8 and 2. My responsibilities included cooking, cleaning the house, doing laundry, and providing childcare. I assisted with tutoring and played with the children, as well as accompanied them to school, particularly for programs and activities. I can cook some Chinese dishes and have a basic understanding of Cantonese.

I pride myself on being honest, trustworthy, and helpful. I have a strong desire to learn new skills, particularly in cooking and caregiving. I am a fast learner and am committed to putting forth my best effort in any role I take on, even if I initially lack knowledge in certain areas.
