Azande Motena

I am a motivated and hardworking teenager based in Pretoria East, with a passion for entrepreneurship and community service. I currently run a local service business specializing in childcare, pet care, and automotive cleaning, where I have built a reputation for being reliable, trustworthy, and always on time.

Whether I am helping families with babysitting, making sure a neighbor’s car looks brand new, or ensuring local pets get their daily exercise, I take great pride in making life easier for those around me. My experience managing my own rates and schedule has taught me excellent time management and customer service skills.

I am now looking to bring my energy and strong work ethic to a retail environment. I am particularly interested in weekend roles where I can interact with customers, solve problems, and contribute to a professional team. Outside of work and school, I enjoy digital branding and creative image manipulation.

Why this helps you get hired:

• It shows "Soft Skills": Retailers in Menlyn or Woodlands want people who are polite and punctual. By mentioning you are "Friendly & Trustworthy," you prove you can handle their customers.
• It shows "Hard Skills": You already know how to handle money and work with specific rates. This makes you much easier to train for a cash register role.
• It shows Initiative: Most teenagers wait for a job; you created your own. This "can-do" attitude is exactly what retail managers look for in weekend staff.
