Hello there, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Joyce, and I am a 34 year old woman who is happily married. I call the beautiful islands of the Philippines my home. I wish to preface by stating that while I do not hold any professional experience or formal qualifications as a nanny, my life experiences have provided me with a plethora of understandings and skills in child-rearing.
Being the eldest sibling in my family, the responsibility of looking after my younger siblings naturally fell upon my shoulders. It was a role I did not merely take on from obligation but rather one I cherished thoroughly. Throughout their early years, right up until they reached the age of ten, I was their de facto caretaker, a role I undertook willingly and joyously. It has been a bittersweet journey watching them grow up and evolve into the individuals they are today as it feels that time has flown by way too quickly. However, the nurturing instincts I developed in that phase of my life remain very much intact.
In addition to my application, I have a 3 years valid certificate from Red Cross Canada and my training/ course includes a. Preparing for Emergencies
b. The Role of the First Aider: Legal aspects, prevention of disease transmission, responsibilities of the first aider, coping with a traumatic event, crisis intervention, shaken baby syndrome
c. The Emergency Medical Services System: When and how to call EMS, interaction with EMS
d. Basic Anatomy and Physiology: Body systems
