From Ayanda: ZB was not just a nanny, but also a trusted caregiver and housekeeper for my family. She was a natural with the children, caring for them with warmth and dedication. I was always impressed with her ability to keep our home in impeccable condition while tending to the needs of my kids. What set ZB apart was her remarkable sense of responsibility and her eagerness to learn and improve. She was always willing to take on new tasks and quickly grasped what was required. She truly became like family to us, and her departure left a void that was hard to fill. I have nothing but praise for ZB’s exceptional work ethic, dedication, and genuine care for my family. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and capable nanny and housekeeper. She is an absolute gem and I’m grateful for the time she spent with us.

From Grace: ZB was an invaluable asset to our family. Originally, I needed someone to provide care for my children while I was working in Sasolburg, and ZB came highly recommended by relatives in PE. From the outset, she proved herself to be reliable, attentive, and dedicated. Not only did she ensure that my children were well-cared for, but she also maintained open communication with me, keeping me informed about their activities and well-being. ZB was not only an excellent caregiver but also a conscientious housekeeper. Our home was consistently clean and organized under her care. Her attention to detail and commitment to the well-being of my family was evident in everything she did. As my work situation changed, and my children grew older, our family dynamics evolved. With my new job in Welkom and my two eldest children attending boarding school, we no longer required ZB’s services. However, I want to express my gratitude for her hard work and dedication over the years. Her commitment to providing excellent care and maintaining a clean and organized home was invaluable to us. ZB is truly exceptional at what she does, and I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a caring and trustworthy caregiver and housekeeper.

From Vanessa: ZB served as my housekeeper for a period of time, tending to the cleanliness of both my home and my company. She exhibited a meticulous approach to her work, ensuring that my house was consistently spotless and well-organized. Beyond her professional abilities, ZB’s lively personality added a cheerful ambiance to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances that led to the closure of my company, I was regrettably unable to continue employing her. Despite this, I would highly recommend ZB to anyone in search of a skilled and spirited individual to manage their household or place of business. Her work ethic and vibrant demeanor make her a commendable asset.
