Excellent helper 'Josie' looking for a new employer
Josie (the helper referred to in the original post) has been with us for over 4.5 years (since 'mummybee' left HK) and Josie has been a wonderful helper. Unfortunately we are now relocating and cannot take her with us. As such we are looking to help her find a good employer before we leave. Her last day with us will be 27th of August.
Josie has helped to look after our 2 very energetic and independent-minded young children.
Josie is not afraid to correct the children should they misbehave which I like. She is also quick to find out what events/ activities are available for the children, which helps when organising schedules.
Josie can organise play-dates with the children’s friends when appropriate. She can play with/ read to/ sing with the children, which they really like.
Josie is an excellent cook. She is interested in cooking and in trying out new recipes and foods. Josie will happily organise the grocery shopping (and the menu planning as well once she knows your food tastes).
Josie can also look after the cleaning/ general household duties.
Should both parents be working, Josie can easily manage the household duties and the children with minimal instruction.
Josie can think on the spot and organise things in a practical and sensible manner which means she can be relied upon to deal with any situation. Josie has a strong character and will voice her opinion when appropriate.
It is not necessary to give her instructions on a day to day basis - just to let her know schedules, appointments, etc.
Josie has travelled and worked in a number of countries and has extensive experience working with all ages (newborn babies, young and older children, and the elderly). She has worked for both Asian and Caucasian families.
Her pay reflects her experience, her common sense, and her ability to manage whatever comes her way in a practical and sensible manner.
She would suit a family who would embrace her as part of the family. It has been a pleasure to have Josie help us and our family will miss her.
Josie is available for interview on Sundays.
