Introduction to families
Dear Family I'm a reliable, kindhearted person who loves providing top-notch care for kids. Organized, multitasking, and always ready to lend a helping hand is what you can expect from me. Communication is my strong suit, and I’m always open to listen.
"I'm super excited to share why I would make the perfect au pair for your family. Over the years, I've been fortunate enough to work with children of all ages - from adorable babies to independent teens - and it's been nothing short of a joy. And guess what? I've also had the opportunity to work with special needs children, which has taught me so much about patience, kindness, and empathy. To keep your mind at ease, I'm police cleared and officially registered with the provincial SACE register. This just ensures that you know your children are in safe and responsible hands. I absolutely love what I do, and I'm not just saying that. Providing a safe and nurturing environment for children is my top priority, and it brings me immense satisfaction to see them thrive. Plus, my knack for being organised and reliable means that you can trust me to go above and beyond in caring for your children. But what truly sets me apart? It's my open and friendly communication style. I always strive to listen carefully to your concerns and welcome your feedback with open arms. After all, it's your children that we are talking about, and I want to ensure that I'm taking care of them just the way you'd want.
"I thought I'd share a bit about myself.. My curiosity extends to exploring new places and cultures, and I'm always up for a challenge. Movie nights and music are my go-to relaxation activities, and a good game night with family and friends never fails to make me smile. I also find tranquility in long walks amidst nature. Thanks a ton for considering me for this opportunity! Warm regards, Marietjie"

3 months baby and 3 years old girl
I completed minimal household chores, focusing primarily on sporadic tidying as needed. I assisted the younger child in organizing her room or cleaning up the areas where she had been playing. Additionally, I occasionally prepared bottles for the baby. Moreover, I utilized a baby App to monitor the infant's nutritional intake throughout the day and to keep track of diaper changes. Reason for Leaving? First and foremost, it was incredibly difficult for me to part ways with this job, as I had developed a deep emotional attachment to the little baby, and my departure left me with a heavy heart. I decided to leave the job primarily due to the challenging commuting conditions in Stellenbosch, where heavy mist often made driving treacherous. Furthermore, I was asked to extend my working hours, which added to the discomfort. To be honest, my main concern was navigating the roads during the evening when visibility was poor. I would have been more comfortable with a shorter commute.
Yes
Marietjie is a loving aupair who really cares. She has patience, a good moral compass, great work etiquette while remaining professional. She is not too comfortable about driving in the dark, which was a pity because we needed someone to work longer hours. Our best wishes accompany her future application and we gladly recommend her.
