Housekeeper & Child Minder - Self-employed/Family - Minnesota, USA
(2019-03 - 2022-06)
I lived in Minnesota, USA for 3 years - March 2019 to June 2022, where I applied for asylum. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, an already long process became even longer & due to changes in my family life, I came back to our sunny country. While I was living in the USA, I took over the housekeeping from my aunt, whom I was living with.
I was in charge of the full household functions, including laundry, cooking, cleaning, taking care of her two dogs & also added child minding my 2nd cousin when his mother had to return to work. I looked after him from the age of 6 weeks until he was 3 years old.
