Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

I am a mature, responsible retired school teacher looking for part-time employment with children. I have treated my own sons' cuts and bruises as they grew up and have a First Aid level 1 certificate. I was working as an au-pair for a family in Durban North, from 1.30 to 16.30 Monday to Thursday and 12.30 to 14.30 on Friday. However their children changed school from the Berea to Umhlanga Rocks, and they required an au pair who lived closer to them. I would prefer to work in the Glenwood, Berea, Morningside, Westville or Kloof and Hillcrest areas. I have had Covid twice, but am now fully recovered. My hourly rates depend on the number of children and distances travelled every day and what jobs are required doing. Thank you 😊 CT

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would do my best to listen to, help and care for your child/children when they are with me. I have brought up my own two sons very well. I am attentive and responsible. I have two grown up sons that I raised single-handedly. My experience with children has been teaching them and coaching sport to children from the ages of 8 to 18 during my school teaching years from 1990 to 2009. My working hours are flexible.

Hobbies and other interests

Reading, writing, gardening, nature and the environment and outdoors. Word and number puzzles, drawing and photography. I love and respect children.
