Hi Dear,
I'm a single mother too with 2 kids. So, when it come to kids i am real hands on to them i'll make
that everything is good. the reason why i want to work outside the country is to provide them a better
life. Being a single mother it is really hard to raise kids here in my country. I'll treat your kids as mine too
so you don't have to worry when your not around.
My only problem is how can i get there. I don't have visa to any country. i've never been out of the country
if im lucky to get a job in your family then this would be my first job outside the country. I hope you can help
me to process it. Thank you and have a good day
Sincerely,
Rita
