Molete Family: RM was primarily hired to look after my daughter who is starting Creche this year. She is professional, friendly, and very caring and our kids love her. RM duties were primarily taking care of our toddler, daily duties included cleaning the house, laundry and ironing and occasionally cooking when requested. RM needed no training in any specific tasks as long as you gave her clear detailed instructions; she did her job properly. She is an excellent housekeeper once given clear instructions, she did not borrow any money or anything from us and she was always on time for work and is no suspect of theft. Everyone loves her and RM is thorough in what she does, usually, she finishes her duties on time for the day. I would recommend her.
Visser Family: Rose worked for us for about 3 years. She is very loyal towards her working hours – always at work. She is trustworthy – never has gone things missing from our house in the period that she worked for us. We have two daughters and they love Rose very much – which is a good sign and shows that Rose is a good person. Her work speed is not too fast but cleans well. Our salaries got cut due to COVID-19 and therefore we cannot afford Rose anymore. I will recommend her to anyone with a good heart
