Years back I thought I would never have the opportunity to use my nurse license. For the past 10 years after passing NLE I worked as a checker in a department store, fast food chain and as a call center agent. But Care With Care suddenly provided a tremendous opportunity for inexperienced nurses like me. They helped me to enroll in a German class, to arrange documents, found the right employer for me. Now I am a licensed nurse in Germany and work in a senior care facility. Thanks Care With Care for being an instrument for achieving what I am and what I have today.

I originally had trust issues when choosing the agency that would help me turn my dreams about working in Germany into reality. But then I heard about Magsaysay and Care With Care from my friends who are also working here in Germany. The Care With Care team helped us at every step of the way: from paperwork to an early appointment at the embassy, and up until I finally started to work as a nurse in Germany. The whole process — learning German, passing the exam and employer interview... it was not easy, but absolutely worth it!

I came across the CWC program during an info session that I attended. There I learned that the first step is learning German… I had always wanted to learn German and decided to sign up. From then on, CWC took care of all the other steps: the paperwork, the plane tickets, the accommodation, the training in Germany... With CWC you can be sure that you will arrive in Germany safely and with a job. I think it's a great opportunity for anyone eager to not only grow professionally but also as a person and build a future for themselves.

One day my boyfriend saw a Care With Care ad for the “Journey to Germany” Program. It ticked a lot of checkboxes for me: no experience needed, no placement fee, and the chance to work at the same employer. A year after we started our journey, we finally took a flight and set foot as nurses in Germany. Working here has its perks: learning a foreign language and new culture, earning more than back home, traveling around Europe, and 30 days of paid vacation leave. San ka pa? We thank Care With Care for helping us throughout the process and making our dream come true.

My journey to Germany is one of the best things that happened to me as a nurse. I have not only learned one of the most challenging languages, but also worked with the great team of Care With Care who played a big part in making my dream come true. I owe a lot of what I have now to Magsaysay and Care With Care. I fulfilled all the goals that I had set since day one of my journey: I am now a nurse in Germany, working in one of the biggest hospitals and enjoying every bit of my life.
