Employer comments

Good day, I knew Gisela for just over a year and got to know her quite well whilst she worked within our home, looking after my newborn and then as he grew into a toddler. They formed the most amazing bond and I could depend on her to take good care of him whilst I got on with my work. She was dependable, neat and responsible and just had a great way with Zach. When she took him to play group, I always heard such positive feedback from the other moms there. She is an ideal person to have looking after your child/ren as she is responsible and sensible, (but enough fun for your little one) I cannot recommend her highly enough as she helped us at a time when we really needed a responsible, caring person who has a way with little ones to help us. She became like family and so I recommend her without hesitation.
