Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Hi, my name is Jenna, I attended the University of Pretoria from 2015 to 2017 where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in human physiology, genetics and psychology. In 2020 I completed my BA Honours through UNISA, and I am currently completing my dissertation for my Masters in Counselling Psychology through UKZN. I have a lot of experience working with children and as an aupair. I have completed an overseas aupair program in which I worked with a Dutch family in the Netherlands, and have most recently worked for a local family looking after their 2 boys and honestly loved every second. I would love the opportunity to work with you and your family as I am an outgoing and responsible person that loves working with children, and have enjoyed every different experience that I've had during my time working as an au pair/nanny. I also have experience as a tutor.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect au pair for the following reasons: • Lots of previous experience working with children of a wide range of ages • Experience as an au pair and nanny both locally and internationally • I am academically inclined and can assist with tutoring if needed. I have worked as a tutor, and took Mathematics Core, Advanced Program Mathematics, Physical Science, Life Science/Biology and Afrikaans in school • Interest and experience in a wide variety of different sports that I could possibly coach

Hobbies and other interests

I really enjoy sport and being active, whether that is involves playing a team sport or just kicking a ball around with friends. I enjoy the outdoors, and especially enjoy running, hiking and camping. I love meeting new people and I am an incredibly social person.

Employer comments

Jenna was such a natural with the children and they warmed to her greatly. She is not afraid of hard work, she relates well to the children was a very committed member of the team and when she had a duty allocated to her she would carry this out diligently. When able Jenna would also go the extra mile and volunteer to do extra when asked. She was also a very important and popular member of the team of 8 youth, and has maintained excellent relationships with each member years afterwards. I would recommend her as an Au Pair, absolutely recommend her.
