Dear Family,
My name is Susanti Andriyani. I was born in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia but I grew up in many places around because my parents moved a lot. Therefore, I don’t have any big problem adjusting to new surroundings or new neighbourhood. I am the eldest, my brother is 25 years old and still in college. I have two sisters, the first one is 18 years old and also going to college. My youngest sister is 15 years old and still studying at the last year of Junior high school. My parents had a good car rental business but then they caught problems and now both of them are farmers in Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia.
Since I was a child, I learnt to be an independent person. I was away from my parents when I studied Pulp and Paper Manufacture Academy, for a Diploma Program. I dreamt to be a manager in a well established company. I supported my college fee by teaching English lessons to local elementary and junior high schools. I was the youngest part time teacher there and some students were very closed to me. During school holidays, most of them came to my dormitory and read my English storybooks, listen to English music or just talking their problems and wishes in English with me. But then my parents lost their business and I was faced with a condition to support my family. Then I started to work abroad because the salary is more than what I could get in Indonesia.
Took a long leave from my college, I went to Singapore and worked as a housekeeper for two years. My employer was a Chinese and her husband was an Indian. I did regular housecleaning, cooking, shopping and wash the car. Once a year, my employer’s mother in law, 80 years old, and my employer’s nephew, 7 years old boy, came and stayed for 2 months. When they came, I need to take grandma to hospital since she had heart problems and need regular medical check up.
When I finished my contract, I went to college and finished my diploma then went to Hongkong. My job was a nanny for a 5 years old boy. My employer in Hongkong had two workers, me and a phillipino who looked after their aging parents. When I just worked for 2 months, my employer lost her job and with one income coming, she said she couldn’t afford two workers. And since she’s going to look after the child, she sent me back home to Indonesia.
Came back from Hongkong, I started to open my own cellphone business meanwhile working at a local NGO. After a year I thought my income won’t take me anywhere, so I decided to work abroad again.
I went to Taiwan and got the job as an elderly caregiver. My patient had a heart problem and need to went on hemodialysis three times a week. Upon my contract renewal and back to work for 2 months, my patient died.
Now, I am looking forward to work in Canada. Hopefully there is good employer can appreciate my skills and experience and willing to support me to be able to work in Canada. If you need any further information, please contact me at

Sincerely yours,
Susanti Andriyani
