FROM DOMESTIC WORKER TO RECEPTIONIST
NANCY’S JOURNEY OF GROWTH
For Nancy, Adroit Facilities Limited became more than a job, it was a space where she built confidence, gained practical skills, and discovered a clear direction for her career.
Before Adroit: Early Work Experience
Before joining Adroit, Nancy worked as a domestic worker. Her income was meagre with limited opportunities for growth and professional development.
The Opportunity: Starting at Adroit
Nancy’s former employer relocated to the United States of America leaving her without a job. Going back to her rural home Meru was not an option. Adroit’s founder gave Nancy the opportunity to join Adroit in 2020 as a Steward.
I remember when I was called to join the next day, I was over the moon I was so happy. I didn’t know how to even use a mop, but the academy, my supervisors and team supported me throughout.
Growth and Skills Development
Through her work at Adroit, Nancy developed key skills that extended beyond technical tasks. She built confidence, professionalism, and the ability to communicate effectively.
This growth enabled her to engage more confidently in the workplace and take on new responsibilities.
Career Progression
Nancy’s dedication and growth opened new doors. She transitioned from stewarding duties into a receptionist role — a significant step in her career.
My life changed from a steward to a receptionist. I never dreamt this would be my life
She is currently pursuing a Diploma in Front Office, building on the experience she gained. Her time at Adroit strengthened her communication, confidence, and customer‑facing skills — which led to her being absorbed by Adroit’s client as a receptionist.
Impact on Life
Working at Adroit has improved Nancy’s financial stability, enabling her to support her family and contribute meaningfully to her household. She takes pride in her ability to provide and in the independence she has built.
I am now a mother of 2 children whom I can comfortably provide for. I also take care of my mom back in Meru
