Leslie

I was born in 1957 in Florida, Gauteng and lived and worked there until moving with my family to Durban and subsquently settling in Cape Town.

I am the former Human Resources Manager of the Two Oceans Aquarium in the Waterfront and recently returned from the United Kingdom where I worked as a live-in carer for a lovely family for 6 months. I am now back in South Africa on a break and felt that in my semi-retirement I could be a companion for folks who need the company and assistance.

My wife and I love walking with our dogs on the mountain and on the beach and traveling when we can. I like classical music and reading. I now hope to be able to assist when needed.
