About Me

I come from a closely neat family of four siblings, 3 girls, one guy, all risen up on slopes of Mt. Kenya (Meru) our parents saw us through all our education levels up to college and university., through our first jobs, marriages. Due to the love I have for kids, I got married pretty first just to hold a baby in my arm, which is one of my greatest hobby, working with children. I am now a mom of two and juggling between work and taking care of my kids was hard for me then more so due to unreliable nannies from unreliable Nanny placement Agencies here in Kenya. This is the point at which a thought crossed my mind on how I would start a serious nanny Agency with a difference to help moms like me out there and charge them a fee percentage for my services. This is how I have been earning an income from the nanny service, which has seen me meet many moms, learn many new things, and mature day by day to being a professional. I would like my NANNY HOUSE SERVICES AGENCY NRB to go International and digital, and be of its kind here in Kenya!

My Business

This loan will be a great boost to my savings since I want to construct a website to make matching up nannies/housekeepers with my clients more easier and updated online whenever they have emergencies. I do thorough background checks and vetting on my intended nannies, which has earned me most clients confidence hence getting high percentage on clientele referrals around Kenya. In business you have to stay a step ahead and keep on introducing something new to keep the business running and interesting, taking advantage of available financial support from micro finance institutions is a vital tool in any business! Through my intended website I will get more clientele thus more funds will flow to help start a fully fledged Training Center to improve quality of domestic staff in Kenyan homes. I look forward to being a Zidisha team lender some day to help boost upcoming entrepreneurs thus making this world a better place.

Loan Proposal

I will use my loan to seek the services of a professional web designer which will cost me around $150, to construct, design, create profiles and technical know how on how to run the site, once this site is up and running, this will be a first time site of its kind in Kenya bringing nanny service placement closer to the client hence more sales. I will use some funds I have saved for this project for advertisements over the internet, and media. Next project will be to open up a fully equipped training facility for this nannies to improve quality of our services to Kenyan households.

    I wish to reschedule my loan repayment due to unavoidable circumstances, I am yet to fully off start the business which needed quite a bigger capital due to advertisements, acquiring new office and office equipments. I had to find other avenues to top up the amount which was still not enough, but I am slowly repaying the loan with what we are getting from the current business. Thanks.
