Jovelyn also said that they never fail to say ‘thank you’ whenever she cooks Filipino food for them. Even when they are in the mall, her wards always buy something for her like shirts and slippers.
“Tapos pag nasa travel sila, lahat sila my pasalubong sa akin,” says Jovelyn.
If you land a kind-hearted employer, it is considered a huge blessing. Imagine going abroad without any relatives and friends. That’s really a lonely journey. However, if you have an employer who treats you like family and provides you with a home away from home, it is a blessing that not everyone can enjoy.
