Ms. Naseem has been a wonderful help in our household. She used to be a nurse, and tackles her work with care and precision. I have been impressed with how she takes initiative and pride in her work, not needing me to direct her all the time. She is diligent and prefers to get the job done than to take breaks. She has cooked some for us (tasty Pakistani meals!), but has mostly done food prep, house cleaning, and ironing. She is good with expat kids, and she looks through books with my kids for them to get some Urdu practice every day. They really like her! She told me she has nanny experience.

While she continues to work for us, I am posting here because she is looking for additional hours: she is available most afternoons and all-day Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

I’d like to recommend a trusted and professional driver from the IMF office who is currently available. He has extensive experience working with diplomats and in office settings, as well as supporting families.

He is punctual, calm, kind, and a safe driver. He is mature, reliable, respectful, and knows Islamabad very well. He also has experience with school drop-offs and is caring and good with children.
