Purity N.
Caregiver graduate, Batch 15
Purity worked as a service crew member at a fast-food restaurant in Tuguegarao City before moving to Dubai in 2015, where she worked as a domestic helper and nanny. She loved caring for others, and wanted the skills to do it professionally.
“When I came to Dubai, the Filipino Institute was my dream school.”
Two hours a day to get to class
Purity studied Caregiving at our Dubai campus while working full time. Getting to class meant almost two hours of commuting each day, so she planned her time carefully to keep both her job and her studies on track. She credits her trainer, Mr Kevin Mallari, for his patience and passion.
“Working and studying simultaneously can be challenging. But for me, giving my best and staying determined made me turn the impossible into possible.”
Just the beginning
Purity graduated with Caregiver Batch 15. When she shared her story in June 2023, she saw it as a starting point: “Finishing my caregiver course is just the beginning. I aim to constantly evaluate and improve my knowledge and skills based on real-life learning experiences.”
Her advice to anyone thinking of studying: “Pray, believe in yourself, enjoy every moment, focus on your goal, and everything will follow.”
