Born and raised in the Philippines. Moved to Hawaii to be with husband. Started working in late 1980 till my husband got sick and I cared for him for over 8 years. I resumed working and baby sat my grandnephew. Would like to find job that does not require another college education and physical stamina of a younger person. I am very loyal and work religiously. Hope you find me to be an asset to your company.
