Sarminah is a dedicated helper with a passion for elderly care and cooking. She has a natural affinity for working with the elderly, demonstrating great patience and compassion when caring for patients. Sadly, the patient she was caring for recently passed away, and as a result, she has been reassigned in order to support her family back home and continue working toward her personal and professional goals. Sarminah emphasizes that she is a hardworking and reliable individual, and she believes that employers should give her a chance to prove her dedication. Her love for elderly care is so strong that she took the initiative to pursue formal training in the field. She is not a fussy worker and is open to taking on various job responsibilities. Though she doesn’t enjoy children care that much, she did complete her 2 year contract caring for them. However, she feels she excels most in environments where she can provide specialized care for the elderly or patients. Sarminah is driven to create a positive impact in the lives of those she cares for, and her commitment to improving the quality of life for others is evident in her work. She is always willing to learn and adapt, and her ability to work with compassion and professionalism makes her a valuable asset to any employer.
