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.

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.

Our experience has been really positive! CWC makes the transfer of nurses to Germany smoother and more comfortable than usual. They don't stop helping us once we are in Germany: the staff is very helpful and approachable, they arranged our documents, gave us advice on how to settle in and much more. There is never a moment when we feel alone or helpless. Their service is excellent: we are very grateful.

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!

My next goal is to continue to work and grow professionally here in Germany. German employers encourage your professional growth and really focus on you by offering courses and training, which care called 'Fortibildung' and 'Weiterbildung'. I'm inspired by the challenges that I face every day and I want to continue my professional growth. My advice for my fellow nurses is: BELIEVE IN YOURSELF. If you start something, start it with 100% effort. That is how you will be successful.
