Elakkiya_Radhakrishnan is a 32 year old NEW helper. Although she has been here before, we consider her NEW as her stay here was very short.

Elakkiya worked in singapore for 2.5 weeks. She was placed in a big, 3 storey landed property with 3 maids working together. There were a total of 7 family members of 3 generations and pets and regular visitors. The 3 helpers shared a stuffy room and it was very pressuring and difficult employer and they had a big dog, which was unfriendly and fierce and almost bite the helper. The helper was taken out.

The difficult environment from the previous employer left Elakkia unwell and could not continue in the second home. She was taken out as she was ill. Later the agency decided to send her back to recover herself.

Elakkia is a certified junior nurse and has direct experience in handling patients of all ages in the hospitals. She has some experience with showering, diaper changing and feeding of sick patients. She is also able to handle housekeeping duties and laundry maintenance. She might need some training to understand employers routine and expected standard.

Potential employers need to note that NEW helpers require time and space to get into a certain routine and need to be trained and taught in the ways of our expectation. this agency is confident that Elakkia can perform and the above has been a good learning experience for her.

Elakkia is married with 2 children aged 10 and 11. Her relatives help to care for them. She is coming to singapore to help her family build a house and to further educate the children.

As a educated person who has completed 12 years of education and speaks and understand basic English, Elakkia seems like a matured and easy to train helper. She will be able to understand instructions well and follow routines, provided she is given the space and time to adapt to the new environment.

Elakkia is also a very good cook and often cooks for others in her village. She can cook all traditional meals including breakfast and dinner items with chutneys and thovayals. Also for lunchtime gravies and curries with vegetable sides.

Potential employers can look forward to a matured, slightly educated and easily trainable helper in Elakkia .. She too is eager and looking forward to start work in singapore to help her family.
