Caregiver employers, at home or abroad, want to know who you cared for, what help you gave, and what training you have. Be specific about the people and the tasks.
Caring for a family member can count if you describe the care honestly.
What to highlight
- Who you cared for: elderly, children, people with disabilities or patients recovering at home
- Daily care you gave: bathing, feeding, mobility, medication reminders
- Your TESDA caregiving certificate and first aid training
- Household tasks that came with the role
- Languages you speak with your patients
