Filipina Nanny/Babysitter
| Hii! I'm Rebecca. i'm a Filipino and I'm 53 years old. I have 3 kids who now have families of their own. At home I just take care of my grandson otherwise I do part time jobs. I have experience in childcare and housekeeping. My recent childcare experience is with a 3y/o kid. As a nanny my duties are to prepare him for school, bring and fetch him to/from school, prepare his meal and feed him, accompany him to his outdoor activities, do a little playtime, then at the end of the day bathe him and tuck him to bed (if not the parents). Of all the experience, being a housekeeper is my preferred job because I like to clean and I'm very attentive to even tiny details. I clean house for 4-5hrs depending on how big the house is. I do dusting, mop/hoover the floor, tidy and organize things, clean the bathroom/toilet including the bedroom, do laundry and ironing. I am patient and easy to talk to. Just let me know how you want things done and I'll do it.
