Recommendation letter
Gardener Driver All-around house help and handyman
We were lucky to “inherit” Simon as we rented our house. The previous tenant was so pleased with his work that she made keeping him a condition for renting the place: it turned out great! The landlady also informed us that Simon has been living in the servants’ quarters on the property since 2010, as all previous tenants have been pleased with his presence and helpful hand. We can confirm we were happy having him with us for the two years we lived in Nairobi (2014/2015).
We could rely on Simon for any house-related business. He knows about everything related to the property, and was able to help promptly and effectively, which proved very helpful on many occasions. Simon would take care of paying the bills, grocery shopping, arranging for any house repair works and assisting the workers. We entrusted him with the house keys and could count on his honesty and respectfulness. He is independent and able to keep detailed accounts for the house expenses. He is also creative and finds solutions to problems, including repairing things himself, using his handyman skills (changing light bulbs, fuelling the generator, repairing the parquet, etc.).
Simon is a great gardener. My husband – an impassioned plants lover – was very happy with Simon’s work taking care of our garden, keeping the lawn in perfect shape, starting a vegetable garden (we enjoyed the fruits of his labour) and caring for the little pond and fishes in our garden.
Simon is a good driver (has B, C and E categories) and, in order to provide his employers with more confidence in his driving skills, he has taken an “intensive defensive driving” course with “AA Kenya” (oldest and largest automobile association in the country). You can check out details on this course here: www.aakenya.co.ke – I know I did, as the name of the course sounded awkward to me .
He also surprised us with his cooking skills. He would even take international recipes from the internet and cook them, to then improve and adapt them to our taste. He is proactive and shows great attention to detail – e.g., he would pick-up the laundry in case of rain, turn the generator on if power went off, etc.
We are recommending Simon without hesitation, as he is a dedicated worker. If you need more information, you can reach me at my personal email address Mihaela_Secrieru@yahoo.it.
Simon can be contacted directly on 0727-915094.
