Oh Susana, welcome to the family! Yes, her name is Susana, in her early 50s, and she's been working in Singapore for 28 years now. Age is not a limitation, when it comes with experience, competency and balance. Enjoy your stay with us, hopefully till when you wish to rest and retire! It's been a tough period to look for a new domestic helper, and especially with the needs and chores of a big family like mine. Thankful for the warm and very helpful service given to me by @myemploymentagency and @maglow, introduced through my fellow artiste friend @tracyleemeileng. I'm touched by their heart and dedication to find the right match for domestic helpers and their employment families by doing their best to understand the needs and demands of both parties. It's been a tough process made so much easier, so thank you! 💙 #domestichelper #maidagency #makingadifference

📸: Taken on my first time back in the office since March 2020.
