Filipinos have taken advantage of this opportunity. THe high dollar to peso exchange rate has convinced them to work abroad. They will be earning 48 times or more than what they are earning here or even more. Since Filipinos are naturally caring, and used to doing household chores and other errands, this kind of job is not new to them.

There are many countries who need caregivers for their elderly. Many recruitment agencies in the Philippines are looking for caregivers to Canada, Hongkong, Israel, Japan, Ireland, Taiwan, Denmark, Qatar, Singapore, China, Saudi Arabia and the UK. Many employers prefer Filipinos as generally they are hardworking and dedicated to their jobs. You can also expect sincerity from them, Filipinos are also fluent of the English language and this has given them an edge. This has given them an advantage over other competing countries.

I've made a listing of the agencies concentrating on this field of specialization. These agencies regularly hire new caregivers to other countries and if you or your friends are interested, this post wll be very useful.
