Dear Prospective Employer,

My name is Vivian, I am the eldest of 6children.  Four brothers and one sister.. My mother is 63 years of age and my father passed away. I don't have any children and i am single.

The question: If leaving my family for the first time, what would you do? This is a difficult question for me to answer - though i am single and i don't have any children, incase i did have one, and I had to leave them - I think I will look for someone whom i can trust that could hold responsibility of their care and who will give them love and care as much as i do when I'm around. Since i can,t be with them, i will call them from time to time to check their needs and situations. I'll talk to them on phone whenever it is possible so that bond between us remains, though we're apart. This way love and care still shared in the family, even if I am miles away.

What i enjoyed most in my last job is the bond we developed with the little girl i took care of. It always put a smile on my face whenever i remember her. She used to imitate everything I did. She follow the way i walked, the way i talk, my style in wearing clothes and even the expression i used to say. It is why i am cautious in what to say and do in the house because strong tendency to be imitated and it can be a negative impact.

The worst thing about my last job is that i had to leave the family because they could no longer employ me, due to financial reasons and i had to look for another job.

My parents were a disciplinarian but lovable. We are christhian. They teach us how to fear GOD. The whole family live in harmony though poor. My mother gave time on us, teach us how to be a good person. She teach us the correct manners and i've learned from her how to be patient and be strong. To have a strong determination in fulfilling a dream.

Some issues that I have had to deal with in my jobs - Being too close to the child you care for, sometimes become a problem. Sometimes the children come to me instead of their mother - To resolved this matter there needs to be an open conversation with the parents - children cannot help themselves at times, if they are needing a hug, or just a little comfort. I spend the most time with the children and I find it difficult to snub a child.

What i do for fun after work is reading and watch tv. To have some rest. And during my days off is that I spend time with a friend and walk in the malls. If someone or a friend appreciate and accept me as a simple person. I am then really very happy and if someone appreciate what i give to them- acceptance and appreciation makes me really happy. I do like outdoors, I don't know if I'd be considered athletic. I don't see myself that way. I like to play volleyball, badminton and I like to jog.

I want to work for a family who can treat me fairly. .A family who will be happy to have me as their helper. I believe that if my boss likes me as a person and they trust me to care for the family then both sides will be living in harmony. I would appreciate an employer who'll give me working time hours/schedule. Not where I don't know when I start or end the next day. I'm not a job hopper, I will stay with an employer as long as we're happy to each other and the family still needs my service.  Aside from looking after the children, the family, the house -- I can also cook. I am comfortable in the kitchen I like to cook request foods. This way I am sure they will like the food I prepare. I don't have any dietary restrictions - I will eat just about anything.

I want to come to Canada for few reasons - To experience the environment and see the real snow,  for better salary and new work set-up like having a working time hours, to avail citizenship. I believe that Canada has lots of opportunities for me and my "future" family. Last -- after I've settled myself and am comfortable, maybe :) To find my lifetime partner.

Thank you for reading my letter. I do hope that I was able to convey me personality in such a short form.

Respectfully yours,

 Vivian Andrion
