My name is Snaida Osengo, a compassionate and dedicated caregiver with over 2 years of hands-on experience in Saudi Arabia. I have worked in both household management and caregiving, providing care to children, elderly family members, and maintaining smooth-running homes. I hold a Diploma in Caregiving, which has given me strong theoretical and practical knowledge in providing professional care. My training included topics such as elderly care, dementia awareness, Alzheimer’s support, personal hygiene, nutrition, safety, and emotional support.

I am patient, reliable, and attentive to the needs of those under my care. I understand the importance of creating a safe, loving, and supportive environment for children, elderly individuals, and families. Throughout my experience, I have learned to anticipate needs, manage multiple responsibilities efficiently, and maintain high standards of cleanliness, organization, and care. My goal is to provide not just physical assistance but emotional support that enhances the quality of life for those I care for.
