"Our nanny Kholiswa has been with us for over 2 years now, and we are so grateful to Village Nannies for finding us the perfect fit for our family. Not only is she absolutely reliable, punctual and fastidious in her work, but she always goes the extra mile to ensure our kids are stimulated and entertained. She is enterprising and takes initiative, often identifying household tasks that I hadn't even noticed needed attention. She also keeps a cool head in a crisis and responds sensibly and quickly to any potential security threat. Village Nannies did an excellent job of finding us an ideal employee with confirmed references, adequate training and the right kind of temperament to match our household style." - Pippa, Rosebank (Nanny placed in May 2008, first nanny placed in 2004).
"Tania from Village Nannies helped us find a nanny for my two girls (aged 2.5 and 10 months old). The service and support we have received has been wonderful. Our nanny has been with us for over a year now and Tania has provided us with support and advice all the way. Even a year after placing our nanny with us, she still has been kind enough to give me time and advice regarding salary increases and various other things. I have found her to be professional and always accessible. Thank you very much, Tania." Tammy, Constantia (Nanny placed Sep 2009).
"Village Nannies was able to direct a number of well qualified candidates to us on short notice, and we are very happy with the experienced childminder we recruited for our infant daughter. Village Nannies did not just 'abandon' the successful candidate; they checked with us, the client, and the childminder herself. I was struck by the fact that Village Nannies seem to understand that for the employment relationship to work well, both parties have to be satisfied. Village Nannies appeared to enjoy the confidence of the nanny they placed, which means they could elicit her candor right from the start (in a context where applicants can sometimes say anything to secure a job). Finally, I thought a third party to mediate the formal recruitment and employment contract process was very useful. It makes an potentially blurry intimate domestic relationship (which can be fraught with misunderstandings) much clearer and more 'formal' - to the benefit of both parties." David, Claremont (Nanny placed Aug 2010).
"I really appreciated the efficient, professional and friendly service from Tania and Jacky." Maureen, Camps Bay. |
