Client Feedback

Hear from those I've helped.

Mrs Govender would stimulate my mother's mental ability by reading, writing, storytelling and encouraging my mother to talk to her. She maintained physical fitness and joint mobility by encouraging my mother to take walks with her, at times she would also look at potential bedsore sites and recommend topical treatment.

As much as Katharina was excellent in her assistance to the elderly she is equally at ease in working with children from an early childhood level through to their teens. Again it is her manner and open personality that makes this possible. Katharina displays strong commitment and dedication to her work. She is extremely reliable and dependable and works in an amenable style. She is both caring and conscientious in her work.

I am very grateful to Mrs Govender for her loving helpfulness over many years. Without her support and her encouraging and warm nature it would have been far worse for me to survive those difficult years.
