Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, I am a Master of Arts in Psychological Research candidate at UCT. I have eight years of childcare and teaching experience both locally and abroad. My passion for children is driven by my interest in caring for their development as well as enhancing their learning.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am attentive and caring which are two qualities I believe to be favourable when working with children. In the past, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the little ones that I have spent time with while being both a guide and a friend. As much as I have taught children, they have and continue to teach me. The many lessons that I have learned stand me in good stead.

Hobbies and other interests

I spend much of my free time outdoors. I enjoy to hike, be on the beach or go for a drive. Additionally, I enjoy cooking and the daily Wordle challenge.

Employer comments

Jessica has been an amazing employee for us. She is extremely dedicated and loves to do good for everyone around her. In terms of her work ethics, she is always on time, and has always achieved excellent results with all her students. Myself and the rest of the management team at Connected Minds Tutors, gave Jessica full responsibility and privileges as one of the main partners in the business. I would recommend Jessica for any position that she was offered, but especially any position that involves nurturing and looking after young people.
