Work Experience Overview Edlyn has eight years of domestic experience in Hong Kong across four different employers. Her background includes 24-hour newborn care, school-age childcare, and management of household duties including marketing, cooking, and car washing.

Arrow chatted with Edlyn’s last employer who told us that they were hoping for someone more extraverted, chatty & outgoing for their 6 y.o. but Edlyn was most suited for newborn care. “ I think she is experienced and patient enough in taking care of new born. It’s a high light.” We agree Edlyn will be a great catch for customers having their first child.
