Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, I would like to introduce myself as Pam, 45 years old, single mum with a love for kids. I have a 16 year old son who is the light of my life and I have a special way with children. I have a soft yet firm handle and I'm full of fun. I love making people laugh and I am genuine and committed plus I can get down to kids levels and understand them well. I also have an awesome sense of humor, am very bubbly and fun.. I live in Highlands North next to Balfour Park Shopping Centre and I'm available immediately. I have my own car and I'm also available pretty much any hours as my mom takes care of my son when I'm not home.. I would like to find a family around the North or North Eastern Suburbs. Edenvale is also good. Please contact me if interested. Thank you.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I believe I would be the perfect au pair for your family as I have loads of patience, a fun and loving way with kids and I love to teach and learn from them. I am always making jokes and kids flock to me. I have brought up a wonderful well mannered and kind 16 year old son whom I am extremely proud of. I like to interact with kids on their level and we always have lots of fun. I can be stern if need be and get on with whatever needs to be done. I enjoy caring for babies, toddlers, kids or teens, driving, lifting, errands or helping with homework and studies.. I do speak and understand Afrikaans but not fluently. I'm great with younger kids as well as toddlers and babies and am pretty much flexible with tasks as well as hours.. I have no experience with special needs kids but I would love to learn if you have that need so I can assist you. My 12 year old nephew has type 1 diabetes and has a pump so I have a bit of general knowledge on how things work with him. I would consider myself an all rounder.

Hobbies and other interests

Gym, swimming, walking and running, art, painting, reading, movies and series, playing soccer with my son, diamond dot paintings, singing and photography.

Job description

I transported the kids to school in the mornings and back home in the afternoons. I took them to their extra murals and any other lessons or extra curricular activities they performed in. I did homework with both kids and helped them prepare for tests and projects. I helped the kids with study techniques to make learning for their tests a little easier. I made the kids snacks and did weekly grocery shopping plus any errands that were needed. I babysat in the evenings and over weekends when needed. I assisted Anne with certain tasks relating to her business too. I drove my car and at times I used Anne's car. I have had a wonderful year as Anne's Au Pair but sadly the family are relocating so I'm seeking a new position with a new wonderful family, could that be you?
