She also accompanied our driver to fetch the children from school, take them to extra-mural activities and bought the weekly groceries |
| How was her personality at work? | She was great. She was bubbly and out-going, respectful and responsible. SM went above and beyond. E.g she wouldn’t leave the children alone (after her shift) in the house, she would wait until I’m home. She was also great at resolving conflict |
| What would you say your former employee needs more training in? | No, she does not. You just need to show her what to do or show her how one would prefer things to be done, and she’ll do the rest. She also has no problems with being corrected as well and she’s easy to talk to |
