Self Introduction

“

JINKY BALDIA BALSE is a 27-year-old, single applicant and a resident of Cawayan, Masbate. She is the 7th child in a family of 11, with 5 brothers and 5 sisters. Her 61-year-old father works as a fisherman and farmer, while her 61-year-old mother is a housewife.

She completed her secondary education at Malbug National High School in 2011. She then pursued her college education and took up Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management at ICAS Philippines, Inc., graduating in 2020. She also completed a Caregiving Course and obtained her certification in 2023.

Currently, she is working as a caregiver/helper while waiting for her application to be selected for employment in Singapore.

She has relevant domestic work and caregiving experience, as follows:

PHILIPPINES – June 2015 to April 2023
She worked for a Filipino family living in a 4-bedroom bungalow house with a couple and their two children, ages 12 and 8. She was given the opportunity to study and work at the same time. As the sole helper, she attended school in the morning and performed her household duties in the afternoon. Her responsibilities included keeping the house clean and organized, doing the laundry and ironing, cooking meals, and performing other tasks assigned by her employer. She also assisted in attending to the daily needs of the children.

PHILIPPINES – July 2026 to Present
She was hired as a caregiver for a 79-year-old female elderly patient who lived with her adult daughter in a 1-bedroom condominium. The elderly patient had kidney failure, Parkinson’s disease, a PEG tube, and a pacemaker. She worked alongside another helper and was responsible for assisting with the elderly patient's daily care and needs, while also performing household chores.

Unfortunately, the elderly patient passed away on July 30, 2026. Her daughter decided to retain Jinky and the other helper to continue assisting her while she recovers from the loss of her mother.

Jinky is confident and knowledgeable in caring for young children, including feeding, grooming, bathing, supervising, and playing with them. Her previous experience has helped her develop patience, responsibility, and the ability to manage children's daily needs.

Being a graduate of Hotel and Restaurant Management, combined with her domestic work experience, she is knowledgeable in preparing Filipino dishes and has a genuine interest in learning new cuisines. She can follow recipes with ease and is willing to learn according to her employer's preferences. She is also familiar with various household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, ironing, childcare, pet care, car washing, and gardening.

Jinky is hardworking, responsible, adaptable, and willing to learn. She is hoping to be given an opportunity to work in Singapore where she can further develop her caregiving and household management skills while providing reliable assistance to her future employer and family.

Upon selection, Jinky will undergo a week of In-House Private Training in Manila, accredited by TESDA, followed by the required OWWA seminar before processing her Overseas Employment Certificate for deployment.
