Her third employer was a Filipino family with a 1.9-year-old girl. The family resided in an HDB flat with 3 bedrooms and 1 toilet, where Melinda was the sole helper. She was responsible for looking after the child, including bathing, feeding, changing clothes, assisting with toileting, diaper changing, and taking the child to and from school.
