Reference

From Private Family (1): ST has been an incredible asset to our family for more than five years. When she first joined us, my daughters were just two and five years old. ST’s working hours spanned from 12:00 to 18:00, allowing her to not only care for my girls but also ensure our home was well-maintained during their sports activities. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend ST for any position as she embodies reliability, excellence, and exceptional communication skills. Her commitment to her job is evident in the exceptional care she provided to my daughters. Unfortunately, due to my current need for someone to stay with my children until late at night, ST was unable to continue with us. Nonetheless, ST will always remain a treasured gem in our memories.

From Private Family (2): Yes, ST was a truly invaluable helper. She consistently ensured that both my home and family were impeccably managed. Thanks to her efforts, our home was always spotlessly clean, and the meals she cooked were the absolute finest. ST’s skills and dedication were truly remarkable. It was with heartfelt disappointment that we bid her farewell when she ceased working for us. However, I am grateful that she still graciously lends her assistance on weekends when needed.
