“You shouldn’t just say you’re ready […] When you say you’re ready (to be an OFW) you should have that back-up basket. Until you have that, you’re not ready.” – Ms Vida Sawit, Childcare centre supervisor in Singapore

---

She is currently supervising a student care centre in Singapore. It’s an after-school care where the students can eat and rest after school. She works with a team of teachers, helping kids do their homework and teaching them life skills and values.

She came to Singapore in 2004, with her children, while her husband was already working in Singapore. She went into acting for local TV and that paved the way for her to teach speech and drama.
