Jovelyn

Dear Employer. My name is Jovelyn, and I am a 31-year-old unmarried woman from the Philippines. I decided to apply through an agency to work abroad in search of better income and to gain valuable experience.

On March 10, 2017, I arrived in Hong Kong. On my days off, I regularly attended Sunday mass in the morning, and when time permitted, I enjoyed hiking with friends. However, my hiking activities ceased when I enrolled in a Caregiver course on Sundays. I completed the course and received a diploma in Caregiving (Elderly and Infant Care) in 2019. I also obtained an Adult CPR Certificate, and despite both certifications being expired, I am proud of my achievements. 

On March 19, 2023, I started working for my current employer. My primary responsibilities include caring for the newborn—feeding, dressing, bathing, grooming, and changing diapers every 2-3 hours—as well as preparing nutritious meals and engaging in playtime. During the baby's free time, I introduce him to drawing, painting, and basic musical instruments like the xylophone and baby drums. We enjoy singing baby songs, even though I am not an accomplished singer or dancer. Most importantly, we focus on educational activities with toys and books that promote motor skills and sensory play. I manage household chores, including cleaning, laundry, kitchen maintenance, bathroom cleaning, and preparing meals. I also care for their pet cat. My first contract with them will finish on March 19, 2025. 

My experiences with previous and current employers have taught me invaluable lessons about what truly matters in life. I have learned the importance of balancing work with rest, fun, and nurturing relationships, all of which enable me to perform my duties even more effectively. I firmly believe that continual learning presents a wonderful opportunity for personal development, and I am optimistic about the prospect of serving your family in the near future. Thank you for your time, and I hope to hear back from you soon.
