It is my objective to secure a position within a progressive company, or a loving home,
which will allow me to utilize the extensive skills and experiences I have gained to date.
I intend to bring to the position well developed inter personal skills, excellent attention
to detail and an extremely high level of service orientation. I believe these attributes
equip me to be a valid candidate for the position as well as being an asset to the
organization or family. The position in turn should offer me the opportunity for further
advancement in recognition of my contributions and allow me to learn new skills.

Housekeeper / Corer / Cook Mr. & Mrs. Reid No 2 Cleek Street Lake Side Cape Town
September 2015 - 10 December 2015
Taking care of Mrs Reid who has Alzheimer’s and is no longer able to walk or speak. I
bath, feed and dress Mrs Reid. Mr Reid who is 84 years old is still healthy but I do the
shopping cooking cleaning and running errands. I basically run the house hold for
them along with doing some administrative tasks for them such as Tax, paying medical
bills etc. I have a double room in the house and have full board and lodging.
However the salary Mr Reid can afford is much lower than my previous one and cannot
afford to increase my salary right now. The family knew that this was a temporary
position until I found something more suitable. Once I secure another position I would
find someone reliable and trust worthy to replace me. I have already placed a few
advertisements and interviewed prospective candidates.
