Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family I am a bubbly and mature Mom, reliable and responsible, with a love and passion for helping children grow. Whether it's playing inside to develop their fine motor skills or outside developing their gross motor skills I am in my element. I love reading, doing puzzles, play dough or any form of playing with children I have the softness and patience to deal with a baby or toddler. I also have the firmness and understanding which allows me to connect with older children and teenagers. I would love nothing more than to become an extension of your beautiful family. Warm Regards Sharon

Why I would make the perfect au pair

Dear Family I would make the perfect aupair as I have the experience of working with toddlers and teenagers being a mature Mother. I can connect with your children like a best friend but I can also guide them through obstacles and life like a teacher. I love babies, children and teenagers and I will be the perfect extension of your beautiful family. Warm Regards Sharon

Hobbies and other interests

My hobbies include going on walks, aqua aerobics and yoga. I love cooking meals and braai-ing outside with family and friend's. I love going to the market on the weekends with my family. My work with children feeds my soul and fills my love bucket every day I get to be around them.

Employer comments

Sharon has been just great for me over the past 2 and a half years. We haven't had a single day where duties were missed or not performed. The boys have always been picked up on time, safely brought home and given lunch and homework supervised. The consistency this has brought is really appreciated by me and the boys! Supervision during the holidays has always been done with no fuss and Sharon has been present during her time with the boys. Communicating times and changes to schedules has always been a non issue. What a great help it has been to have someone ever present there for us!
