How do we do this…well…meet the skivvy team

Jenni is #GOALS and the brains behind Skivvy Business Services, the virtual professional assistant to small and medium sized businesses both locally and internationally. She’s a pint-sized person with a huge heart! Her hands have birthed what we predict will be one of the most efficient and sought-after virtual companies in South Africa and the world.

Outside of obliterating tasks from her fancy-pants built-in website software, she is a mom to four girls (two human and two boxer dogs). In her spare time, she loves reading on her kindle and running the streets of Capetown.

Our Project Manager at Skivvy, a forty-something single-mom of two boys, believes that every day is a school day and she is never too old to learn a new skill and grow to her full potential.

Jeannie lives in Grahamstown, South Africa. She enjoys yoga and physical fitness and tries to live a healthy lifestyle.

With experience in hospitality, event management, bookkeeping and administration, Jeannie enjoys a challenge.  She is creative, highly organised and ambitious.

A true #adminninja.

Suzanne is a 50-something wife and mother of two adult sons.  She is a qualified teacher (BSc + HED) and was a stay-at-home-mom for most of the past 20 years.  She home schooled her sons for 7 years and ran a busy household for the rest.

She has a knack for admin and email management. She likes to get things done and organised.  As admin assistant she is also well versed in word processing, spreadsheets and graphic design & publishing software.

Suzanne loves a challenge and putting her admin abilities to good use.

Centaine is a wife, furr mom, a “kaalvoet kind” / flip-flop queen and proud of it with slight administration OCD tendencies.  A straightforward down to earth gal, no need for fuss, just keen for a good laugh and some fun.  A true African bushbaby at heart, her all-time favourite place to be is in the bushveld at her family holiday home at Ingwelala Private Game Reserve, a place where she can disconnect from the world and spend quality time with the ones she loves. She enjoys the sounds of the African bush and marvels at the amazing SA sunsets with a G&T in hand.

Loanda and her husband live in the beautiful coastal town of Jeffrey’s Bay, in the Eastern Cape province of SA. Having spent 26 years in Gauteng, where her 2 daughters currently follow professional careers, she returned to her roots, where the air smells of the ocean!

She has always had a love of words, (her dad was a linguist!) She has written, (but not published), a vegan recipe book, which she thoroughly enjoyed researching for, and experimenting with!  Her past careers include: ground hostess for an international airline, PA to directors of various big corporates, and public relations/marketing for a large, well-known car rental company.

Now she lives the beach life, and works as an enthusiastic and dedicated virtual assistant! She has years of experience in proofreading, copywriting, and editing the written word. These include medico-legal documents for various practitioners, theses/dissertations for an array of graduates and post graduates, non-fiction publications, transcribing interviews from tape to word, blogs, social media content, and whatever comes her way!
