But rest assured that they are well taken cared of since they are the most vulnerable patient in the population. Being attentive to their needs and comfort is one of the best ways to care for them. In addition, I experienced babysitting the kids of my cousin but that was when I’m around 15 and 16 years old when I’m still in high school. Nevertheless, being a mother and a nanny to my only son is also a great experience. I love babies especially if they hug you back which will give you a feeling of joy and comfort.

I have worked locally and overseas for a certain period and it has been eye-opening, skill-enhancing and challenging. I have always considered myself as compassionate and empathetic thus, working with people and children gave me joy and a sense of accomplishment. I made a 2-year hiatus from work on 2012 as I need to take the lion’s share of caregiving duties for my nephew who was, then, an infant. I helped feed and bathe him-- played with him among others. These tasks never felt like a burden but instead felt rewarding, especially, seeing him grow.

Shazia Naureen

My name is Shazia, I am 41 years old, and I was born in 1977. I am from Pakistan and I am currently living and working in Malta along with my Husband as a live in care giver with a 61year old wheel chair bound patient since 2018, who has high medical needs, as he suffering from stroke and muscle dystrophy. We do not have any children yet but waiting upon the Lord, one day we will for sure, I simply adore children; I think they are the most beautiful beings in the world, they are able to encourage anyone with their innocence and energy, they always make me smile and give inner peace. I enjoy working with children, and old people and taking care of them; therefore you can trust that I can be someone you can count on to be there when your family needs me. I have gained my experience with children mainly through babysitting, as a part timer.

GLORIA NTHIBO

My name is Gloria from Africa ,Botswana. I was born on the 12th of February 1979 and a second born in a family of seven children. I am married with three adorable children; 17,8 and 5 years of ages. My husband works as a law enforcing officer(police officer) in a village near the capital city and that’s where we are both staying. All my children go to school. My family is looking forward to staying in Canada and are excited about my moving to Canada, that is, if I get a job offer.

Growing up in a family of 7 children, my parents and cousins has always been a beautiful thing for me since I was the eldest (in girls) and have to take care of my siblings and cousins during my parents’s abscens. This has really fuelled up that passion of taking care of other people not only my family. Caring for my siblings and cousins include bathing, cooking for them, changing nappies for small ones, helping them with school work and playing with them. The family that I am married into also respect the values of family coming together and during weekends and holidays we meet with our families, share ideas, cook and eat and enjoy together. We tell our children stories, cook for them and teach them some house chores, and play with them.
