Profile and Education I am a female non-smoker and a BS Biology graduate. I have earned 18 credits toward my Certificate in Teaching. From 2001 to 2003, I worked as a licensed high school science teacher in my home country. In March of this year, I moved to Canada, where I have maintained a good record of background checks. In 2019, I took the IELTS (General Training) in Dallas, TX, scoring an overall band score of 7.5. I also achieved an overall score of 130 on Duolingo in 2022. I am certified in BLS (Basic Life Support/CPR) for Healthcare Providers in the U.S., a certification I earned from 2015-2017. I am willing to recertify in Canada if necessary for employment. It should also be noted that I have been vaccinated with Covid-19 while in the US. I currently hold a class 5 driver’s license issued in Calgary and am in the process of establishing myself in Canada, with plans to acquire a personal vehicle for easier navigation around the city. Additional Services Offered In addition, I am capable of providing pet care, particularly for dogs, cats, fish, and occasionally hamsters. I can also take on housekeeping tasks and prepare meals, specializing primarily in Filipino dishes.
I live in Downtown Calgary, AB Relevant Work Experience **Child in-home and daycare Job 2016 – 2022 I have 6 years of continuous work experience as an in-home childcare provider in the US. The child I was taking care of was 2 months old back then. I managed all of the infant needs, including timely feeding and medicine administration, bottle cleaning, swaddling, diaper changes, bathing, and later on, potty training and food prep. He basically grew up having me as his closest help, treated me as his older sister, and have been his school buddy, providing after-school tutorials for on-site and online learning. 2012 I was also able to work for a few months with younger children, ages 0-5 years in a Montessori-based daycare center in Dallas, Texas. A few of the children I worked with have special needs, so I have a fair amount of training in taking care of children with selective learning disabilities. ** Additional Previous Work Info - **Nursing Assistant, 2015 In addition to child care, I also worked as a nursing assistant in the US for almost a year prior to the in-home caregiving job, and had a 5-day Clinical Program for the completion of the C.N.A course I took at Brightside Institute in Plano, TX.
