About Maria Dina Cuares Ejeda

Maria Dina Cuares Ejeda is a 28-year-old Filipina from the quiet town of Calauan, Laguna. Born into a humble family as the fifth among seven siblings, Maria grew up learning the values of hard work, patience, and dedication. Her father, a 65-year-old tricycle driver, and her 61 year old mother, a devoted housewife, worked tirelessly to raise their children with strong morals and a deep respect for others — qualities that Maria carries with her to this day. After completing her high school education at Dayap National High School in 2015, Maria set her sights on working abroad to help support her family. Her journey as a domestic helper : Dubai (2018 -2020), where she was entrusted with the care of a blind elderly woman in a large household with 2 adults. Sharing responsibilities with another helper, she assisted in caregiving, household cleaning, and laundry. It was her first overseas role, and it taught her the importance of compassion, routine, and responsibility — especially in caring for the elderly. DUBAI (July 2022 - Mar 2024)- Her second contract brought her back to Dubai , this time to a larger household with both adults and 6 children 28,25,22 and 3 school-aged children 17,15 and 10 . She managed household chores alongside another helper, took part in cooking, and was also responsible for bringing the youngest child to and from school. These years helped Maria develop confidence in multitasking, time management, and family support — especially in homes with children of different ages. HONGKONG ( April 2024 - July 2024), Maria briefly worked in Hong Kong for a Chinese family. The household included two school-aged children (15 and 9)and required her to manage chores not only in her employer’s home but also at her employer’s parents’ flat located on the same floor. Though her time there was short, it exposed her to a different culture, a faster-paced environment, and a higher standard of housekeeping — all of which she embraced with adaptability and a willingness to learn. Maria has found her true strength in childcare. She is comfortable and confident in preparing meals for children, feeding, bathing, dressing, and keeping them engaged through play and interaction. She understands that beyond physical care, children also need emotional warmth — something she naturally offers. Maria also has a passion for cooking. She is skilled in Filipino dishes and has basic knowledge of Chinese cooking. She is eager to learn other cuisines and is open to following recipes or cooking under instruction. Her other interests include gardening, car washing, and pet care, making her a well-rounded and flexible helper. Now, while waiting for her application to be selected for a position in Singapore, Maria is preparing herself for new opportunities. Maria Dina Cuares Ejeda is not just looking for a job — she’s looking for a household where she can be of genuine service, offer support, and be treated with the same respect and kindness she offers to others.
