Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family My name is Gabriëla, I have been working with children since I left school. It is my absolute passion. I have had multiple jobs at once all in the childcare field which has given me years of experience. I have had two long-term Au-Pair positions and I am now looking for a position in the field again since I have sold my learning centre.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect Au Pair/tutor because I have a true passion for working with kids - it does not feel like work to me as I enjoy it so much. I am patient and compassionate, trustworthy and punctual. I am a safe and confident driver and I can easily get along with children of all ages. I am very organised and can contribute greatly to ensure the smoothness of a child's daily duties. I have a lot of experience working with children in different forms and I feel I am a great addition to the right family.

Hobbies and other interests

Some of my hobbies include working with small babies, cooking, reading, hiking, learning new things, doing workout classes and gyming, traveling, doing puzzles, and doing fun activities such as bowling, berry picking, fun food outings etc.

Job description

Homework Supervisor - I was required to assist children in my class (up to 30 children) with their homework, spelling and reading on a daily basis. I was also required to watch them play and ensure there are no accidents or injuries. Should there had been an injury, I was required to do simple first aid or report major incidents to my boss.

I was required to collect the child from school everyday, help her with her homework and do projects with her, prepare lunch and afternoon snack for her, transport her to her extra murals. I sometimes worked full days in the school holidays where I was required to keep her entertained and do activities such as outings like lunches or movies. I helped her prepare for exams and study. I had to be ready for schedules to change and be on-call when needed.

I privately tutored a remedial Grade 3 learner. I assisted her with homework, spelling, reading, projects and helped on a more remedial level where assistance was required. I helped her with Mathematics, English, Afrikaans, Music and Drama. I, at a later stage, helped her with the 'homework' given by the remedial therapist.

Job description

I had full care of a beautiful baby girl in the morning while her parents were at work. My duties included feeding, changing, putting her down for naps, keeping a schedule of her eating and sleeping patterns, doing activities sent from school, doing stimulating activities focusing on gross and fine motor skills. I also helped her practice walking and learning. She has since gone back to nursery school and I do occasional babysitting for the family (at least once a month) who has since also had another baby. When I babysit, I look after both the 3 year old and 1 year old.
