Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Hi Family My name is Michelle and I am 36 ears old. I have 13 years experience looking after children and I am studying towards a qualification in Educational Psychology.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I absolutely love working with children and taking them on a journey of self discovery and helping them unlock their full potential in becoming the best they can be. I have experience working with babies and have also been teaching for the past 5 years. I currently teach high school but have experience teaching primary school aged children as well. I teach at randburg branch so will be in the vicinity of Randburg and surrounding areas. I am a committed, loyal trustworthy person with a lot to offer in life. I believe in walking the extra mile without expecting anything in return. I also feel that I serve a God of excellence and should therefore live a life of excellence. I'm easy to warm up to and am a person of calm nature.

Hobbies and other interests

I love singing, dancing, outdoors, gym, rock climbing and just having a good time with my friends.

Employer comments

My child has been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome and Michelle has been assisting him for more than 5 years. She took him from grade 4 through to grade 9 (in progress). Michelle is a dedicated, loving person and one of few who were able to accomplish what she did with my child. I have the utmost respect for Michelle since she managed to work with my child, despite his disruptive behavior and short attention spans. All in all my experience with Michelle is very positive and I can recommend her for Au Pair or tutoring positions.

Employer comments

Michelle was a caring au pair for our two children for just over two years. She was diligent and helped with more than she was asked to do. She is punctual and willing to go the extra mile when necessary. We wholeheartedly recommend her for an au pair position.
