MAE, 31 YEARS

Dear Host Family,
My name is Mae Ann Oliva, my family and close friends call me 'Anne.' I am 28 years old and was born in Zamboanga, one of the provinces in the Philippines. I can speak English and Filipino as the national language of the Philippines, and also basic Spanish because it is the native dialect in our city.
I am a friendly person as they say, fun to be with, bubbly, trustworthy, sweet and most of all, God fearing. I am artistic, creative and passionate in everything I do and can really work under pressure. I enjoy grocery shopping, cooking and gardening. I am also a pet lover and currently own dogs and cats. I can drive and own a driver's license for driving a two wheel drive and a four wheel vehicle I also drive my niece to school and back home when they need my service. I am a family driver.
For my educational background and work history, firstly,I then had the chance to take vocational course in Practical Nursing major in Midwifery and after graduating, I volunteered in one of the organizations in my city, I work giving child care support at Department of social welfare and development. (DSWD) is the Executive Department of the Philippine Government responsible for the protection of the social welfare of rights of Filipinos and to promote the social development.
I decided then to find another job to help me provide for my family and eventually worked as a house keeping in a hotel in my city, also I was able to work as a private caregiver from a sweet family in Dubai back in 2018 for two years my main task are taking care of the childrens, light house hold chores llike claning, laundry, doing the groceries and cooking. I also have knowledge in first aid and got my certificate in basic life support training from Philippine Red Cross, an independent and autonomous non-government organization tasked to help the government in the humanitarian field.
In summer time I’m an on call baby sitter because the children don’t go to school I’m taking care of them when their parents is at work. I’m taking care 3 children ages 2 ,5,7. This is not new to me because during my younger years, I used to take care my two younger brothers when my parents were busy making a living.
I am also an active member of my community, I help and coordinate with my church and baranggay if they have a community programs such as feeding programs and other activities.
At the moment, in this time of pandemic, I am earning by tutoring and baby sitting my neighborhood kids.
These experiences are the reasons why I’ve become matured and disciplined and know how to deal with big responsibilities. I think my child-care and household skills will make me a great Au pair and would generally help better my skills. If you would give me the chance to be part of your family, I would be extremely grateful. I hope we can develop a good relationship, would love to learn about your culture, and live harmoniously as a family member.
Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Anne
