hello everyone!,im angel from cebu.i work as a house helper.. i have been working til now as a house helper with same employer for almost 6yrs..minsan maliit ang tingin ng ibang tao pagganyan ang pinapasukan mong trabaho..sometimes i feel pity for myself but i dont mind them,co’z they dont help for my necessities..i like my employer,hindi naman cguro ako mag tatagal kung hindi sila gusto. aside from that they like my service to them because i work well with or with their supervision,detailed-oriented,hard working and organized..i have respect for my employer..para akin,i dont think about the money i received or make a dagdag..i do care about my good service to them..and about freedom,well,lahat naman ng amo ay binibigayan ang isang maid na mkapag day off…oo minsan may pagkakataon na gusto mo pang maglibang but as being employed,u must have ur rules for discipline in ur self that u must to follow..and to think about the rules the rule sa boss mo..kung my personal na outing,u can ask a favor to ur amo,and tell the truth why u like to go out,or something…and im sure they will convinced them..kung magiging tapat ka lang.

Hi, i found your post and the comments fascinating. I moved to Canada with my family when I was 6 yrs old in 1973 and i remembered what it was like with to have maids to look after my brother and I.
