Hi my name is Emilia , I have known Vanessa for many years, she is a responsible, honest, reliable and a loving lady. When she was in South Africa, she was mine and our family's life saver and i miss her stax , i could just pick up the phone and if she was available she would be there, to house sit and most important my pets, my babies, she would look after them and love them. one important thing that i appreciated in Vanessa , was that she was very hygienic, neat and clean. I recommend Vanessa with all honesty .
