Melanie started to work in the UAE when she was 19 and she has been working in the country for 24 years. Being the eldest of five children, her burden to send her younger siblings became her motivation to work abroad at a young age.

“I used to cry a lot at first. But then I would just pray and ask God to help me and guide me through life,” Melanie said
She is currently working with her fourth employer, a family of four from The Netherlands, whom consider her as a part of the family, giving encouragements to her in pursuing her dreams and do better in life. Jelle Leeksma, her employer, as a witness to her "positivity towards work", nominated her for the award.
“We can always count on her. She always goes an extra mile with work and she has initiative... She’s a really loving and caring nanny. We wouldn’t trust anybody with our children more than her. She is the perfect the nanny,” her employer said.
The recognition, however, granted Manansala a starter retirement fund of one million pesos (around Dh73,000) and a ticket to the Philippines from Air Arabia, a bank account, Rise child care courses among others.
