Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

I am a Chilton trained aupair with first aid and cpr and early childhood development certificates. I'm also a qualified teacher and I have recently acquired a certificate in working with special needs children and a diploma in child psychology. I have 10years experience working as a nanny, child minder, Aupair, housekeeper, teacher. I have always have a passion for children when I was growing up being raised by my parents who were both teachers. Reading, playing ball, painting was the order of the day. That made me to pursue the teaching industry.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I feel I would make the perfect aupair because when I'm around children I feel completely at ease and more myself. I believe nutrition, fitness, appreciating good behaviour and effort, are all incredibly important for the development of children of all ages and I feel I can provide these fundamental aspects. My experience with children assured me that all day need is encouragement, clear consistent boundaries and warm empathy.

Hobbies and other interests

Playing sports eg netball Solving puzzle games Reading and writing articles Drawing and painting Arts and crafts Baking and cooking Taking walks in the park and traveling

Employer comments

Nyasha was a wonderful employee. She is honest, reliable and was always on time. She was fantastic with the kids. She is very warm and patient, but able to put boundaries in place when needed. She takes initiative to come up with new activities for the kids and is very creative. My younger daughter especially enjoyed her play dough creations. We were very sorry to say good bye to her when we immigrated and wish we had met her sooner. Please let me know if you require any further information.
