Greetings!!

My name is Annabelle or Belle for short, 38 years old, a Filipino . I am a registered nurse by profession and had an experience of more than a year in a hospital and particularly in geriatric ward, one year as live-in caregiver in Singapore and presently working here in Saudi Arabia as dental nurse/assistant. Our patients also are elderly or adults because my doctor is a prosthesis specialist for elderly.

I can describe myself in just three words, HARDWORKING, RESPONSIBLE and TRUSTWORTHY. My friends and my family says that I am loving, caring, thoughtful, and fun to be with, no dull moments when I am around. About my family, they are the most precious gift that I ever had and they are my inspiration. I came from a Christian family (protestant) and I am so blessed having a wonderful and loving parents. I am the eldest among the four, I have 1 sister (next to me) who is working in domestic airport in manila Philippines, and 2 brothers who are still studying in college. We are very close to each other and we love each other so much as our parents taught us.

I decided to work as full time caregiver now because I have a passion in caring elderly. Being a nurse , its not just wearing white uniform with cap working in a hospital or clinics but it is a passion of caring. I have been working in the hospital for a long time but since we have always a lot of patients in the wards, almost all of our time spent in charting, carrying out doctors order and giving medication only. It does not leave me with enough time to interact with the patient one on one. While if I am a full time caregiver I can fully apply all my knowledge and skills in nursing profession.

When it comes to trainings attended, I have a National Certificate of CAREGIVER from Technical Education And Skills Development Authority under the Department of Labor and Employment in Philippines. I obtained 120 hours for this training with the following units of competency:

1.) Provide care and support to infants and toddlers

2.)Provide care and support to children

3.)Foster the social,intelectual,creative and emotional development of children

4.)Foster the physical development of children

5.)Provide care and support to elderly people

6.)Provide care and support to people with special needs

7.)Maintain healthy and safe environment

8.)Respond to emergencies

9.)Cleaning leaving room, dining room, bed rooms, toilet and bathroom

10.)Wash and iron clothes,linens,and fabrics

11.)Prepare hot and cold meals

12.)Establish professionalism at the work place.

Then, I also attended training at Hwalong Training Center Inc. of CARETAKER COURSE with 100 hours and the modules included are:

1.)Communication

2.)Responding to emergencies

3.)Taking care infant/child 4.)Take care of elderly/disabled

5.)Performing home management.

The basic life support training and CPR are included on this trainings I attended. But I am going to attend again the basic life support and CPR training here in Riyadh Saudi on March as scheduled. I had an experienced as caregiver in Singapore, looking after a 98 years old wheel-chair bound, diabetic and stroked patient.

My employer is her daughter but they are living in Australia, they came only every 3 months to visit their mother. They totally entrusted to me house management and total health care to their mother. Provide for and ensure her cleanliness like bathe, wash, dress her, change diaper, clean and change her daily, prepare and cook her meals and feed her. Transfer her from bed to wheel chair and vice versa. Monitor her over all health through daily physical body check and taking blood pressure as well as glucose level. Taking her to the doctor for her regular check up. Administer medicines as prescribed by the doctor, help her to do exercise daily and massage everyday 2-3 times a day. Take her for strolls in her wheel-chair a couple of times a week and accompany her on outings her out for a walk.

But unfortunately after six months the grandma died for the third stroked she didn’t survived due to old age. Then, my employer stayed in Australia for good so the agency transferred me to another employer, a 78 year old grandma,wheelchair-bound,with Parkinson disease.

Based on my knowledge in nursing profession with skills and competency in taking care of adult patients I am confident that I can do the best of care to my future employer or client. My ever dearest future employer, if you will give me a chance to work with you and your family, I will do my best that I can to satisfy your expectation s of me. I will finish my contract here in Saudi Arabia on November 23 2009. I would like to start my work with you right after I finished my contract here.

Thank you very much and looking forward for a good working relationship with you.

Sincerely yours,

Annabelle

Dear “FUTURE EMPLOYER” ,


I am Marwa ( Ana Maria) , daughter of Dolores and Vicente(deceased), I have 1 brother and 6 sisters. We were one big happy family when we were still small and in schoolage but when all goes to college and finish their studies, everybody went their own way. Now, my mother, brother and 2 of my sisters are in the Philippines, 2 of my sisters are in USA, 2 are in Canada. I am the 3rd child. Totoy, my brother and the rest of my sisters are married except Siony and Vicvic who are in States and Canada respectively. I married last 1977, and I was blessed with four children, Melanie (Manay), 31, Melina(Baby),29, and my twins, Melchor II (Abba) and Melchor III(Truman). Manay graduated from Computer Science but prefers to stay at home and do her own business. Baby is a nurse and presently teaching in the nursing school in Philippines. Abba graduated from Metallurgical Engineer and working in Accenture while Truman is also a nurse and now working in Singapore. They are all still single and supporting themselves. They were such a nice, playful kids when they were small. I took care of them until my eldest turn 12 and my twins were 8 years.

I worked in Saudi Arabia since 1991 up to the present , singly supported my children in school since I was then separated with my estranged husband. This was the worst difficult thing I did in my life, leaving alone my children with my mother , so I could send some dollars for their school fees.. I enjoyed their company only in an annual vacation,and it was worth a treasure being with them.

I have work in Intensive Care Unit for over 6 years, taking care of ventilated patients, unable to move, unconscious, post road traffic accident patients, post open heart surgeries patients. I am doing everything for them, which means feeding them either by parenteral or nasagastric tube, cleaning and bathing them everyday and cleaning them up whenever necessary, turning them to sides every 2 hours to avoid bedsores and at the same time monitoring their vital signs and ventilator-the machine that makes them breath, all the time. It is always fulfilling when after months of caring for them, that I will see them out of ventilator and starting talking to me. It is always a happy scene when I always bid them goodbye discharged from the hospital WALKING.

Presently, I am working in the operating room as nurse anaesthetist. I am responsible for patients undergoing surgeries. We are having at least 25 to 30 cases everyday. With the anaesthetist with me, we induced the patient to sleep, intubate and connect to ventilator, monitor and check the connections to the ventilator until the surgeon finish his operation. I can always knocks down 0.5kg.- 250 kgs patients on the operating table and wakes them up after the operation. It is always a challenge to reverse patients from anaesthesia as they have always different responses on reversal. Patients always goes out from operating room responding and well. I always handle emergency situations with ease and comfortably efficient. I have trained myself in basic life support and background on advanced life support.

Outside of work, though Saudi Arabia is a close country, I enjoyed going to shopping centers, going to deserts and other weird and beautiful places with my abaya – a black long dress and head cover. I like to travel a lot but options are very rare. Volleyball games, table tennis, swimming are the activities I always enjoy aside from a walking and situps exercises I do to get rid of my excess fats. I do cook my food, I prefer Chinese food , sea food, fish and pasta. Vegetables and fruits is a must in my diet. I always avoid cakes, chocolates and sweets though I know how to bake, I don’t eat pork as I have a family history of diabetes and hypertension. I love to see a clean and orderly sorroundings /house since it gives me a good mood to work more.
I’m homebody hardworking and I never sits whenever theres still a work to be done.

Working in Canada is a dream for me. I’m willing to work in any part of Canada. I want to meet different kinds of people and go to other places without my abaya-(black loose dress) on. I want to feel a different world other than Saudi Arabia, not mentioning that I have my 4 sisters that will be near to visit whenever possible. I haven’t seen them for almost 10- 20 years in person though we’re communicating in letters and e-mails. I also want to work with family that will need my skills and knowledge on the care of adult and elderly or any job that will suit my training. I ‘m just always happy and willing to help and care for people that are helpless and needed assistance for caring themselves. I also want to do everything for them after all Caring, Commitment and Compassion is the very essence of Nursing.
