Feedback from Prinsloo Family
Dear LvdM,
We want to sincerely thank you for all the love, care, and support you have given our family – and especially to William – since you started working with us on 9 August 2024. You have played a very important role in his early development, and your kindness and patience have given us great peace of mind during this time.
As William is now older and becoming more independent, we have made the difficult decision to enroll him in preschool. This next step is important for his development, but unfortunately, it also means that we can no longer afford both preschool and a nanny at the same time.
Your last working day with us will therefore be at the end of July 2025. This was not an easy decision, as you have become part of our home.
We truly appreciate everything you have done for us and for William, and we want you to know that you will always have a special place in our hearts.
Thank you so much, LvdM, for your dedication and loving care. We will miss you dearly, but we know you will bring the same warmth and joy to your next family as you did to ours.
