To Whom it may concern
Discovery HomeCare has been working closely with NIDO Health as a preferred provider, since June 2016. We have been hugely impressed by the great work that NIDO does and the lengths that they go to, to service and care for their clients. Their passion for providing care and support is evident in every case referred to them as is the quality and experience of their care team. We have only ever received positive feedback from our members when cared for by NIDO and have no reservations referring patients to them, knowing that their team have the training, experience and support required. We have also been very impressed with NIDO’s innovation, from the training programme created for their care workers, to the Care Champ App that will really help families better navigate the often overwhelming task of finding an appropriate care worker for their loved ones. The NIDO team are a pleasure to work with and we wish them all the very best on their journey ahead and for all their new ventures and adventures!

I have done my training with NIDO in 2000 training as a health care assistant. My training experience with the company was a very pleasant experience.
I have done my practicals’ at Netcare where i have gained lots of experience. I got a job through NIDO doing home nursing and from there I went to work in old age homes. NIDO is providing good quality care and it contributes care to the terminally ill. Even today I am still working for NIDO as an office administrator and doing recruitment.
NIDO has offered me lots of opportunities that I would not have had elsewhere and I am very thank full for that.

To Whom It May Concern:
I started with Nido in 2006 I did my course in September 2006. I got the best practical student award for 2006. I started working for Nido in 2008. I then went oversees for 6 month to Aupair in America. For 3 month premature twins girls.
In December 2011 I phone Gizelle to find out if she does not have a job for me? I started working in the Nido office in Johannesburg, Jan 2012 as an admin assistant until end of June. I got a Care Workers job thro Nido in Bronkhorstspruit to look after an old lady of 83. Unfortunately she passed away suddenly. I then got an evening job thro Nido at a lady at Eagle Canyon looking after a Baby boy of 4 month with very bad Colic two nights a week.
I really enjoy working for Nido

To whom it may concern:
I saw the NIDO Health Care Assistant Course while I was browsing the internet looking for a nursing course. I immediately saw that this course would be the perfect stepping stone for me to further my studies in nursing seeing that it is an accredited course and it is much more advanced than the regular Home Based Caregivers course.
My passion is to become a qualified nurse and to work with people is something I feel very passionate about.
I enrolled with NIDO and started training in January 2012. My experience with the company has been so positve since the beginning. I finished my theoretical training and received very good marks. After that I could be placed in my practical institution for 3 months. I did my practical training in Arcadia Old Age home and completed all my practical hours there.
Gizelle made contact with me because she saw potential in me and asked me to come and work in the head office in Cape Town where I am currently doing recruiting & placements. This is equipping me with even more vital experience that I did not have before I came accross this wonderful company.
I will start with my last months of practicals at the Mitchell’s Plain in Melomed where I am looking to broaden my experience to become a Health Care Assistant and get more experience in the Hospital.
My goal is to enroll in a nursing school upon completion of my NIDO Health Care Assistants course and to further my studies in the field of Nursing.
My training with NIDO has been the perfect stepping stone to do so & has given me the self confidence to fulfill my dreams to become a qualified nurse. Thanks to NIDO I am one step closer to achieving my goals and to live my dreams.

My name is Rowlene Eberhardt with two children residing in Port Elizabeth. I heard about the NIDO course from a friend, whom also did the course. In high school I helped in an old age home. I enjoyed it a lot.
Therefore, when I heard about NIDO, I knew that is where I want to be. The first day I was a bit nervous, but when the class started, I felt at home. The receptionist at the office welcomed the students warmly. The sisters that presented the classes were excellent. They explained everything systematically. The sisters were like mothers to us. NIDO can be proud of them. After a month we were divided into groups for our practicals.We all went to different frail care centres. Co-incidentally, I ended up where my mother use to work as a nurse. As a little girl, I was playing there and now I am working there. It was always my dream to become a nurse, and help the sick and old.
After a month there I realised that the elderly are very dependant on the staff. That motivated me to do more for them, and to learn more about them and there needs. Fortunately, at NIDO I learned that, all theoretically. The theory that we were thought in class, I could put it into practice now. The old are so special; they will always have a place in my heart.
My last month practical’s I did at NETCARE Greenacres Hospital. It is very different to the frail care centre. It was more on hands. We were really prepared for our practicals after we did our theory.
NIDO opened a few doors for me. I privately started working with private patients and is about to start working with a baby.
I want to take the opportunity to thank everyone at the NIDO office in Port Elizabeth, and to the founder of NIDO, Gizelle van der Merwe, that helped me make my dream come true.

I Evelyn Didloft was a student at Nido Health Care Academy in 2009 and fulfilled my dream of becoming a Health Care Assistant when I graduated in 2010. In 2009 I decided to become a Health Care Assistant.
I applied at NIDO and in 2010 I graduated. NIDO opened so many doors for me, because they train at the greatest hospital group which is NETCARE. My dream came true when I did my practical at NETCARE Greenacres. So far I’ve worked in maternity and ICU. I also worked with private patients. At the moment I’m training as a Health Care consultant at Health Haven, and that is also because of NIDO.
Evelyn Didloft
Ten years ago my grandma suffered from a stroke, I could not help her in any way. When she passed away i decided to became a nurse. For years I applied at insitutions and was always unsuccessful.
One day I saw the advert of Nido in the news paper and applied for the home base course. While I was busy with my Practical at House Nazareth I realised what I could have done for my grandma.
The next month I was send To N1 NETCARE PAEDIATRIC for another month practical, and there something amazing happened to me. I was a week in the ward and the unit manager offered me a post as a care worker. It was then when doors started to open for me. After six months I started my studies though NETCARE education.
Today I am a very proud Paediatric staff nurse who is furthering my studies next year to become a Registered nurse / Professional Nurse. My message to everybody is : Never stop dreaming, reach for your goals and remember, the sky is the limit!

My name is Linda Ntombekhaya Ndabeni. I came accross Nido Health Care Academy after so many years of struggling and looking for a job. I decided to go back to school to do my Matric which I passed.
Doors were still not opening for me after I went through these sacrifies. At Technicons and Universities my applications were still unsuccessful. I knew that I want to do nursing for the passion I had for this occupation. My life changed for the better the day I saw a group of ladies wearing nursing uniforms. I approached them to enquire about where they have studied. They informed me about Nido Health Care Academy where after I went to the office in Cape Town for further information.
I Registered and started the course in June 2009. I did exceptionally well in my theory and practical examinations. Nido opened doors of opportunities for me and God have answered my prayers. Through Nido I was placed at the NETCARE Private Hospital in N1 City where I am still fortunate to work. NETCARE N1 City Hospital offered to send me for further studies to become a Staff Nurse and thereafter a Professional Nurse.
Without Nido none of these opportunities would be possible. I thank Nido from the bottom of my heart and wish them success for the future.
