Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family. I am a 23 year old, with a strong passion to take care of children. I currently reside in Durban. I am currently studying towards Education and Childcare. I have formal and informal childcare experience. l'd be more than happy to have the opportunity to speak with you: to answer whatever questions you may have about me or my childcare experiences; to learn more about your family; your interests and to know more about what you expect from the au pair arrangement.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

As an experienced caregiver and educator, I believe I would make the ideal au pair for your family. I bring a blend of child care and educational expertise, backed by a strong background in working with children from ages 2 to 18. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills not only in creating a safe and nurturing environment but also in fostering learning and development at every stage. My formal tutoring experience with children aged 4 to 18 and my hands-on childcare work with younger children make me adaptable and sensitive to the needs of each age group. I’m also currently completing my Bachelor of Education in Foundation Phase Teaching, which equips me with valuable insights into child development and the latest teaching techniques. With an ECD qualification, I am trained in early childhood care, and my work across both the CAPS and IEB curriculums enables me to provide flexible and academically supportive experiences tailored to your child's unique needs. As the founder of a tuition company, I understand the importance of responsibility, consistency, and trust. I am organized, dependable, and passionate about creating a fun, engaging, and educational environment. Whether it’s homework help, structured play, or simply spending quality time, I’m dedicated to providing a positive, enriching experience for your child. I would be thrilled to support your family as an au pair, ensuring your children’s well-being and growth every step of the way.

Hobbies and other interests

I enjoy dancing, I am a graduated dancer in classical dance. I absolutely love reading and writing. I take interest in adapting to and learning a new environment.

Job description

As a Homeschool Educator, Tutor, and Au Pair, I committed to the education and well-being of homeschooled children as they prepared for mainstream schooling. This encompassed developing and executing tailored homeschool curricula, crafting engaging lesson plans across various subjects, fostering a nurturing learning environment, and closely monitoring and adapting the curriculum to meet educational goals. In addition to academic support, I also provided one-on-one tutoring, assisting with homework assignments, and addressing any learning challenges to ensure the child's academic success. My role then extended to occasional childcare, creating a safe and stimulating environment, engaging in extracurricular activities, and helping with daily routines. Communication and collaboration skills were paramount as they maintained open dialogues with parents and seamlessly coordinated with mainstream schoolteachers for a smooth transition.
