Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

I am a 26 year old, who just returned from the US as an au pair for two years. I was an au pair from March 2022- March 2024, and I was an au pair here in South Africa in 2021. All this experience is to show hiw passionate I am about childcare. I have a lot of experience working with children and I would like to assist you with your child/children.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make a perfect au pair because I have the experience and love for children. During my stay in the US I got to work with two different families with different kids and different personalities. My schedule changed mostly and I had to be flexible and I also had to be patient with the kids especially due to cultural differences. I am Able to multitask as I had to deal with multiple kids and also do the child related tasks.

Hobbies and other interests

I enjoy traveling, watching YouTube videos, learning new skills and being with my friends and family
