Toronto, Canada – A Filipina nanny’s years of dedication and love have been rewarded in a life-changing way. Rebecca Cruz, an Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) from the Philippines, received a stunning gift from her Canadian employers—a house worth 1 million Canadian dollars (approximately PHP 40 million).
Rebecca has worked as a nanny for the Griffiths family in Toronto for six years, caring for their children with devotion and compassion. Over time, she became more than just a caregiver—she became family.
In a heartfelt gesture of gratitude, the Griffiths surprised Rebecca with the deed to a fully paid home, acknowledging her unwavering commitment and the vital role she played in their children’s upbringing.
“We trust her with our most precious treasure—our children,” said Mrs. Griffiths. “Rebecca has given them love, care, and values. This is just a small way to say thank you.”
The news has gone viral in both Canada and the Philippines, with many netizens praising the Griffiths for their generosity and Rebecca for her inspiring dedication. Her story shines a light on the often unseen sacrifices of Filipino domestic workers abroad—and the deep bonds they build with the families they serve.
Rebecca, moved to tears, said she never imagined such a blessing. “I just did my job with love. I treated their kids as my own. This house is not just a gift—it’s a dream I never thought would come true.”
