My first job, at age 10, was summer companion to my maternal grandmother. Working for the family matriarch required abundant labor (my grandmother was elderly), but the daily chores gave rise to an unexpected pleasure; I liked being responsible. For 12 lovely summers, I cleared the acorns from her croquet court, hiked to the store to buy her groceries, and delivered her (she did not drive) by rowboat to tea at the homes of neighbors. Within the formality of her cottage, I learned to be a responsible member of a household. And whether I felt like it or not, I learned to be good company. Still under my grandmother's spell, I have worked as a lady's companion and as a gentleman's secretary for more than 20 years. Although I am no longer gathering acorns, I accompany my employers on their travels, keep them company at cultural events, edit their memoirs, and teach them them how to draw and paint. I have found these employments to be congenial and remunerative. They give me great pleasure.

1.First of all I believe I have the right balance of knowledge, and skills. I am approachable, sociable and reliable. 2. Care giving taught me the spirit of putting others first. Being a server to them. I believe that I should look not only for my own interests, but also for the interests of others. Therefore, this is what make me feel passion about offering my time, energy to help others. 3. Being raised by a single mother made me to have so much respect even on women, not only caring for them as patients or clients, but treating them as my own family or parents as I have been taught when I grew up. It gives me sense of pride just to care for other people. 3. Also, being able to reach as a way of social responsibility. Having a volunteerism spirit to do things that changes others lives without being paid for it. 4. I'm a very loving person. Patient, motivational speaker, I am also a mentor to the youth. I am very hardworking, I have passion to excel in every capacity in my professional life and I believe that nothing is possible in life if we go out to claim it. I have lived in Malaysia, Australia, Botswana, South Africa before. I also visited UK, Singapore and Thailand in 2008. I enjoy cooking, reading current affairs, research work, writing, social networks and public speaking. I strongly believe in advocacy. My main interests lies in Sustainable development, Family development, Health care, Poverty alleviation and HIV/AIDS.
