Individual
Greetings Families! I am a Registered nurse in the Philippines with 2 years of hospital experience in a government hospital seeking for a long term live-in/out elderly caregiver position under LMIA program. I am Margarita Tomas, 28 years of age and currently living in Norway. With 4 years of professional care for Intellectually Disabled Patient and currently 2 years of being an Au Pair in Norway, I am well prepared to handle the duties involved in this important job. As a Nursing aide @ MINDS (Movement for Intellectually Disabled of Singapore), I provide daily care to our adult and elderly residents with intellectual disability, autism, down syndrome, cerebral palsy and dementia carrying out their activities of daily living, helping them in their routine activities like feeding, bathing and grooming, organizing some activities like community mobility, arts and crafts and some simple game to keep them happy and feel loved most of the time. Because of their vulnerability keeping them safe all the time is our main priority. Currently an Au pair in Norway, I am taking care of 4 children ages 14, 12, 10, and 4.Two of which needs a special care because of their medical condition. ( 4, Cerebral palsy and cognitive problem) and ( 10, Cerebral Palsy and epilepsy).Being an au pair, I have gained unforgettable memories through creating a strong bond with my host family, obtaining personal growth through conquering moving to a foreign country, and exploring the different culture, language, food, architecture and a once in a lifetime experience of seeing the other side of the world(travelling is a major major bonus):). My roles and responsibilities to the children is to act as their "big sister" especially when the parents are not around. Others may include getting them ready for the school, accompanying the youngest to and from school, doing light household chores such as cleaning, dusting, vacuum, laundry, changing bed linens and preparing and cooking meals for the family. Growing up in the Philippines, I value my family very much and they are always number one in my priorities. If I will be given a chance, I will assure that I will treat you the same way I treated & love my family at home. As an individual, I am an outgoing person and proven to have long patience. I value respect, honesty and professionalism. I am a hard working person, highly driven and flexible. I take initiative as to what needs to be done. I’m a pet lover too and comfortable with travelling and good in taking instructions. I have trainings and I’m a keen learner and have the ability to remain calm during emergency situations. I would love the opportunity to work with you as a Live In Caregiver and to develop this kind of caring on one on one relationship. My experience combined with my compassionate nature makes me well suited for the position. I would appreciate hearing from you soon.Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
