Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family. My name is Clarissa and I would love to get to know you and become a part of the family! I am currently studying an Honours degree in Psychology at Varsity College, after completing a degree in Psychology and Criminology at the University of Pretoria. I am a very passionate, kind and quirky person with a love for adventures. I hope I can start a new adventure with your family.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am a very hard working and driven person. I am very punctual, honest and reliable. I enjoy growing relationships with the children I take care of and being a part of their journey. I love teaching them new things and helping them achieve their goals. I took care of many young children during my Au Pair years, and I love getting to know them and their unique personalities. I believe that every child deserves to feel special and grow up in a nurturing environment in order to flourish. During this year I worked as a teacher at a high school while completing my PGCE. I gained valuable experience in the different learning styles that each child has and I found ways to tailor learning to their needs.

Hobbies and other interests

I love music, I have been playing instruments since I was 6 years old. I love reading and watching documentaries, specifically psychology related. I like doing artsy things, whether that be painting, drawing or playing music. I absolutely love to bake and experiment with new recipes. I also enjoy finding places that I've never seen before, or doing things I've never done.
