Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, I am delighted to introduce myself to you. First let me just me just say that I have wanted to become an AuPair since it was explained to me at a young age what it was all about. The fact that I get to look after children as a job just makes me beyond excited. I am a fun loving person and absolutely love children and interacting with them on all levels. I'm still a kid at heart and just find that I connect better with children of all ages rather than with adults. I honestly thought I would become a school teacher but my curiosity and creative and creative side kicked in and I landed up studying all sorts of fun things to stimulate this curiosity.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I’m currently studying at Montessori in Sandton. I absolutely love children, they are my passion and I’ll put them first out of everything.

Hobbies and other interests

So I find myself writing this letter of introduction to you to present what I am all about. to say that I love children, playing with them, having fun with them is an understatement. the opportunity to travel and work and to do something I love just makes me very excited. When I left school I studied Graphic Design for two years, thereafter I did a two year Beauty Therapy course. This course was intense and encompassed a lot of practical courses like First Aid and Level one CPR. - very handy if there is an emergency situation that presents itself. I used to live a beautiful coastal village in East London, South Africa. Now I live in Pretoria in Lynnwood. The beach is on our doorstep and everyday I get to walk my dogs on the beach. I have two sisters aged between 24-49. Leigh is the middle sister who is a Human Rights Lawyer and my older sister who lives in Spain is an Architect. My sister and I established a baby sitting service for extra pocket money from 2007-2017. We looked after children from the ages between 6 weeks to 12 years. I am a very active person and my hobbies include painting, drawing, fishing and generally spending time with family and friends when I am not working. I started my own business which includes Permanent Makeup and beauty therapy. I also enjoy ice skating, running and walking my dogs
