About & Hobbies

I aim to secure a Yacht Stewardess position on board a private or charter yacht.

I have been freelancing in Palma, particularly in winter maintenance, laundry, crew mess and cabin maintenance. I am available from next week as I am currently working on Mirage.

My land-based housekeeping experience is mainly when I ran 2 AirBnb apartments in Cape Town but I have more info on my attached cover letter.

I am a fast learner and will adapt easily to the team. I would offer a strong work ethic, attention to detail and a positive can-do attitude. My tutoring, customer service, reception and Airbnb experience has groomed me well at serving all kinds of people, prioritizing the client always. My ability to listen to orders, communication and problem-solving will be advantageous to my role.

Thank you for your time.

Kind Regards. Refiloe
