| What were her Duties? | I needed a nanny to assist with my son of 2 weeks old and daughter of 4 years old as I was employed. She would go through the alphabet with my 4-year-old and read to her. She did all the typical nanny duties from nappy changing, bathing to bottle feeding. She also cleaned our very big house, and it was always clean. She had a routine in her head, and I never had to ask or hint to her to do anything. She did the bedding weekly, windows monthly. She is amazing. |
| How was her personality at work? | Belief is a chameleon. She can adapt to what her employers like. I am quite extraverted so she and I could have nice chats whereas my mother-in-law prefers a quiet space, and Belief would adapt to that and give her space. She can read a room and identify what people need. She is a very caring and intelligent person. |

| Communication skills | Belief for sure has great communication skills. She opens and willing to anything and never complains. Her English is very good. |
| Pets | We brought our 2 American Pitbulls with us to SA and Belief was amazing with them. She would wash their blankets and bedding once a week and if the gardener was not there, she would assist by picking up their poo.
