Pinay bags 'care award' in London

[LadyJ]

Filipino workers continue to bring honor and pride to the country particularly in the health sector.

Recently, a Filipina senior caregiver from Cagayan De Oro City bagged the special amazing care award in the 3rd Barchester Care Awards in London.

Natividad Dela Cruz bested the award from more than 1,000 health workers employed in almost 200 private homes in England, Wales and Ireland.

Dela Cruz is set to receive a cash prize and a trophy. She is one of eight senior caregivers of Queens Court Caring Home in Wimbledon, which has now 41 aging British patients.

Dela Cruz admits the difficulties of being caregiver as old patients become overly sensitive even on petty issues, but such work makes it more challenging for her.

Dela Cruz belongs to a family of caregivers. Three of her sisters are also caregivers in the different London hospitals. A younger brother works as a nurse in a nearby hospital.

For Dela Cruz, the work of carer is perfect for Filipinos especially if such profession is rejected by most Brits and European Union citizens.

Even her boss, Shaaron Caratella, talks highly of Filipino health workers.

If UK immigration is not so strict in its present rules, Caratella would prefer to hire Filipino carers rather than other nationalities.

Caratella believes there is still a big demand for carers in the UK as its population is aging, and many senior citizens are batting for additional health care.

My 83 year old mum was in a care home, and the filipina there was brutal with her, she stole her cheque book and also some money, i managed to catch her, by putting a mini camera in my mums room.. she was stealing from a frail 83 year old women.... so dont tell me they care. i have experienced first hand, the greed for money that the filipinos have. Its all to do with there corrupt government and the poverty in manila

Unfortunate case, but that doesn't mean all Filipinas are like that

sorry to hear about ur alleged experienced with a filipina carer but I dont think it's fair that you generalize all the filipinos are greedy with money..

[walesrob]

Elsa also works in a care home, and is very popular with all the patients and staff. In fact her boss told me that given the choice, she would rather employ more Filipinas as they are very reliable and hardworking.

you do not hire filipina care workers, they are in the homes already, so you have no choice.... I have lived in manila off and on for the past 10 years, so i know what i am talking about.

well thank god that the immigration have now stopped all work permits for non EU members.. They should be back building up there own countries, not robbing ours. They send all the remittance home anyway, so it does not even benefit the UK

dont you dare threaten me in my country, this is not the philippines , i can say what i want if its the truth, my mum is now in a very caring home, she has women looking after her, who understand her, and will sing the old songs with her from the war, and know what she is talking about, because they have lived in this country all there lives.

dont you dare threaten me in my country

It's a pleasure to meet you your majesty

You need to moderate your choice of words young lady as your starting to annoy people. I've already had some complaints, and I don't want to see any more.

She sounds like she hates Filipinos but why did she have lived in Phils for such a long time if she hates Filipinos

Give me a favor Katy, instead of coming here and offend people, do your house chores!

[lizaphil]

did you notice that katy is so rude most of her post is not nice against us?
is just annoying to everyone what she said anyway

[pumpkins]

yap, i noticed that..
her post just reflect her life full of jealousy, anger, bitterness and hatred..
i feel sorry for you katy or whatever your name is

[katie37pinayuk]

it is sad for katy's mum to have that bad experience with a filipina carer. but it is unfair that katy make that bad judgement of all of us filipina. if i am as prejudice as katy, i could comment endlessly about other race/nationality, too.

as i work in a carehome, i see and talk to a lot of families and relatives. some are supportive of the staff and some others are not so trustful specially to foreigners. that is understandable. but in my work and study, a next of kin who is always suspicious of staff is noted to be full of 'GUILT'...the guilt of not being able to look after their parents themselves...guilt of passing on the responsibility to other people...
