Charlita Cayaban:

Charlita Cayaban is the perfect nanny for kids who regularly take medications or need special care.  

Charlita has a diploma in Midwifery and started her career as a caregiver for the elderly.  She worked with Dr. Ruby Go (OB-GYN) in the Philippines for over twelve years.  Her main responsibility from 1996-2003 was looking after Ruby's elderly father.  After her father died, Ruby kept Charlita on until 2007 to look after her elderly mother.

We contacted Dr. Go on June 2, 2008 to ask about Charlita's performance.

Quote 1:
"I like Charlita.  She is a good person and is incredibly hard-working.  I could go to my job each day and never worry because I knew she would be taking good care of my parents.  After my father passed away I asked her her to stay to help with my mother because I had such complete confidence in her."

Quote 2:
"Charlita is very professional about about administering medication and doing what needs to be done.  She would change bedsheets and bathe my parents as well.  She also took them to doctor's appointments when I was unable to."

Dr. Go says she welcomes calls from Canadian employers interested in hiring Charlita.  She says Charlita has a loving, responsible character and would be excellent with small children.

Charlita says she loves kids so she decided to cross over to childcare in her next position.  She has been working as a nanny in Hong Kong since June of 2007.  Her current duties involve looking after two children, ages one and six. She takes the kids for daily walks to the playground and cooks their meals.  She also does all of the housework and laundry for the rest of the family.

Charlita enjoys cooking and says her her specialites include Chinese and Filipino food, including chicken curry, stir-fries and sweet and sour pork.  

She describes herself as fun-loving and can swim.  She is married with one son and is not allergic to any pets.

Charlita is willing to work anywhere in Canada.
