Maricel was employed by a South African family in Dubai for 4 years and 6 months. The family had three children aged 1, 4, and 8 years old. She managed childcare, residential upkeep, and culinary responsibilities by providing responsible care for the children, maintaining a clean and organized home environment, and preparing meals that supported the household’s daily operations and comfort. The family returned to South Africa in May, bringing her employment with them to an end.

Maricel first worked for a local family in Saudi Arabia for a period of 7 years. The household consisted of five members, including three children aged 5, 12, and 15 years old. She performed integrated caregiving and domestic support duties by ensuring the children’s well-being, maintaining orderly and sanitary surroundings, and handling food preparation tasks to contribute to a structured and smoothly functioning household. She was unable to continue working for the family due to passport-related issues. After some time, she moved to the UAE and served a local family in Umm Al Quwain for 2 years and 1 month. It was an extended family living in the same villa. She primarily served a family of four with two children aged 7 months and 4 years old. She carried out nanny, housekeeping, and cooking responsibilities through attentive child supervision, maintenance of tidy and hygienic living spaces, and preparation of daily meals while supporting the family’s routine needs. She chose not to renew her contract due to a low salary and lack of proper rest.
