Reference Report

Private Family (2): I employed PN as a housekeeper and a nanny for my daughter. She was for me for about six years until last year, when I was retrenched and could no longer afford her services. Speaking of her services, PN has been amazing. She was overall in charge of the household and my daughter was as if she had another mother. I am a single mother and PN’s help was exactly what I needed. Even when I relocated from Durban to Johannesburg, PN moved with us. PN is amazing, trustworthy, her communication skills are on point, and she kept to herself. She always kept me posted on what was needed, what was short and if she needed to leave in advance. I relied on PN greatly and she is a punctual individual. When it came to my daughter, she helped her with homework, prepared her for school and cooked for her too. She did not cook for me as I am a picky eater. My daughter is very fond of PN. PN did not need on weekends, but she helped wherever she could anyways; she went an extra mile for us. There was a period of time where PN had to go home, and I got another helper, but they never met PN’s standards. We have a cat and PN also took great care of her. I highly recommend her. She is amazing on so many levels.

Private Family (3): PN was my helper. She looked after my children, cleaned my house and cooked for us as well. She was very helpful towards us I appreciate her services. She even did some admin work for me when I needed her to. She was not a stay-in helper but when she knocked off too late or I needed her to stay overnight, she would. PN’s communication skills were great. She always let know if could not come to work (with a valid excuse) in advanced. I highly recommend her. I could no longer afford her services. That’s why she is no longer working for me.
