Reference

From Granny Stenri: SS was a very pleasant worker. I had no problems regarding her whatsoever. I relocated to the old age home. That’s the only reason why she is no longer my carer, but she is amazing, and I would recommend her anytime.

From Care Centre: I can confirm that SS, has worked as a carer for the care centre. She is friendly, well-spoken, and professional.  She assisted with 24-hour care for a client up to December 2022. The client had renal complications and suffered with Dementia. Caring was inclusive of showering, dressing, ensuring her nutritional and all-round wellbeing. The client’s family decided to move their mother closer to them in the Cape. SS is very observant and follows reporting structure. We have used SS with great ease as a carer for various private patients in fragile care, at an old age home when they needed temp staff.  She cared for all types of patients with great positivity. All our existing clients have full time carers, and we don’t have a vacancy for full time caring at this stage. SS is reliable and trustworthy and is proud of her clients she worked with. I can recommend her.
