She really helped with everything. She took our dog on long walks and became part of the family, even though she was only here for a week.
She was very thorough with painting and completed all jobs independently.
Thank you for support, love and care Philina.
She fit in well with our family. We loved her happy smiles and interesting chats. All pets and our toddler loved her.
She also worked really hard for us - helping to transform our garden. She was very thorough with her painting.
She completed the tasks independently with attention to detail.
We had some really good laughs while she was here. Her and my toddler son had so much fun together as well. She is a beautiful person.
It is so nice to have her around. She is very humble and easy going.
All the best for your adventures Kate!

It was intressting getting to know about her culture and life.
She was very helpful supporting us with the housework and we would love to have her back ❤️
