Dear Fellow Domestic Helpers,

 

 

In order to improve yourself on the job, I will share with you some of the employer¡¦s real concerns as follows:

 

1. Morning greetings ¡V greet employer/family members every morning with a smile.?

 

2. Don¡¦t neglect/isolate yourself from the children ¡V always be attentive to their needs: such as taking meals, bathing, helping on homework, etc.?

 

3. When you¡¦ve made a mistakes or break/damage something in the house, always report to the employer ¡V do not keep silent until the employer finds out because this will affect their trust on you.?

 

4. Household cleanliness and personal hygiene¡Xalways put your heart into your work when performing the daily chores, don¡¦t be sloppy and slacking off on your work and take own initiative to check on other areas in the house which needs re-arranging or cleaning while you have spare time.?Try not to wait for employer to ask you to do things.?In addition, always wash hands when you come back from outside or before cooking or using the bathroom, take a bath daily, etc.?

 

5. Very important, respect the elderly in your house- be pleasant and patient listening to their instructions or needs.

 

6. Try to improve on your cooking skills or learn what kind of dishes that the employers like the most or least ¡V just remember ¡V it¡¦s a really valuable experience to always open yourself to learn different things especially you¡¦re all lucky enough to work aboard.?I always joking to my own helper that someday when she finished contract with us; she can open a Chinese restaurant when she goes back to the Philippines -- because she has showed great improvement on her cooking skills since she¡¦s with us ¡V this also tells you that she¡¦s willing to learn new things to equip herself to be a more well-around person.?

 

7. Do not use mobile phone during working hours unless it¡¦s emergency.?

 

8.? You must respect your employer¡¦s privacy and do not gossip your employer¡¦s family matters with other helpers whose living by your neighborhood.

 

Keep Smiling and Take Good Care !
