Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family My name is Sinead Nicole M and I am based in Northcliff, Randburg. I have watched up to four children at a time, ranging from new-born to 15 years. My experience includes caring for children with special needs, multiples, and children with medical and behavioral issues. I have also tutored children up to 14 years of age and I have also worked and volunteered in two day care centers. I have a good combination of work experiences with children so it would be no problem for me to help the children to reach their full potential. Overall, I feel like my experiences have prepared me because I have an inherent ability to reach out to children: they respond well to me and I possess the skills as well as passion. I am in my third year of studying education. My resume is available upon request. Thank you for your time and consideration. Kind Regards

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I was an aupair in the USA and I have experience with any age group, I was taking care of 4 kids all under 4 and my program is coming to an end. I think that my childcare, household and driving experiences will make me a great au pair. I am mature and used to taking responsibility, I am flexible and can adapt to new situations, qualities are important when living with a new family in a new environment. I have the strength to set limits if necessary and I am consequent. I am a graduate in psychology and human resources. I do not have problems with helping in the household. I really love cooking, I took cooking classes in school and I love tasting different foods. One of my best characteristics is my tolerance. Nowadays it is of vital importance to be tolerant because there are so many different countries and traditions.

Hobbies and other interests

I often Cook, I love reading, I go to the movies, I love travelling, I love sightseeing, amusement parks etc
