Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, I am Phindi, and most recently I have been an au pair for two children, aged 10 and 7, in Saxonwold. Unfortunately they are relocating away from Johannesburg so I am looking to secure another au pair position. I am 46 years old and have been doing au pair work for three and half years for two families over that period.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make a perfect au pair because I love children and enjoy working with them. Over the last three and a half years, I have worked with children that have been experiencing some difficulties (such as anxiety and temper control) and it has been very rewarding to see these children progress away from these difficulties due to constant attention and care.

Hobbies and other interests

Family activities, reading, watching movies and going for walks.

Job description

This letter serves as a reference for Phindiwe M who has worked as an Au Pair for my family from January 2019 until the present time. Unfortunately, my family is relocating away from Johannesburg and so Phindi will no longer be able to continue working with my family. In her role as Au Pair, Phindi has been responsible for collecting my two children, a boy of ten years old and a girl of seven years old from their schools in the afternoon. My son attends a school called the Ridge School, and my daughter attends St Katharine’s School, both in Westcliffe, Johannesburg. Phindi has been responsible for transporting the children to various extra-mural activities such as swimming, ballet and tennis, as well as visits to doctors and child psychologists, and also social activities such as playdates and parties. She is responsible for ensuring they have their correct clothing, school books and sports equipment. She also provides them with meals and refreshments and plays with them when they
