Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

I love children! I want to help them become the best they possibly can! I would like a family who would welcome me as one of their own. Would be great if they also have much fun and love for one another as my own family has. Seeing children be happy and excited to learn. I love working with children, they are such a blessing. I also have childcare references that I will happily send through! I am kind and caring. also very outgoing and will fit right in. I am polite and also very organised. I am easy to get along with and honest.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I have been working with children for the past couple of years through my involvement at an aftercare centre during my high school years and I really enjoyed it! I was one of the group leaders responsible for setting out the weekly activities. I know how important it is in today's rushed time to ensure that children grow up in a fun, carefree and safe environment. I would love to do my bit to contribute to that. I am also currently working at a local primary schools aftercare centre with children 4-7 and love every second! Since completing my senior certificate at the end of 2019, I have been doing part time work. I have applied to become a foundation phase educator (Grade R) in 2021, through an online course and successfully completed this course. I am currently studying towards my degree. Would love to WhatsApp video chat or drink coffee somewhere and have a chat!

Hobbies and other interests

I like to read books and know how to play the guitar, piano and keyboard. I love going out with friends and meeting new people! Love to socialise.
