Kaaren provided high quality full and quick support services. She very rapidly understood my business needs and more than met my requests. Kaaren is also a very friendly and obliging person to deal with. I would recommend Kaaren unconditionally for any EA/Secretarial support services.

Kaaren assisted our business when we were advertising for an Office Manager and had a temporary vacancy during the recruitment process. We found Kaaren's assistance over about a month so valuable: she was efficient, creative, and has a wealth of experience that meant she could make improvements to our systems in the short time she was helping us. We've already booked Kaaren again to cover annual leave and we're looking forward to welcoming her back.

Within 24 hours Kaaren had assessed the issues with our business document and reformatted it. We then got her to fix other similar documents. The documents are now better than they have ever been.

I have known Kaaren in a professional capacity for more than 10 years, initially as a secretary/administrator in my law firm, and more recently whilst she was Otago Manager of Property Council NZ. I have also employed Kaaren for contract secretarial work for the Boards of Directors of two companies which I chaired. Kaaren is thoroughly diligent, conscientious, efficient and reliable.

Kaaren was my manager for seven years. Her main qualities were open and honest communication, the ability to provide a productive yet fun workplace and a desire to provide the best environment for everyone in the department. She is an empathetic, motivating and caring supervisor, and she encourages staff to improve their skills. Kaaren is an excellent listener.
