Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family After graduating from University, I spent one year in England working as an Au-pair/Nanny for the Shephard Family. I then came home and over the next few years had various Au-pair positions in Cape Town, one of which was a family with a child who had special needs. I hope to become a great help to your family, and an excellent caregiver to your children. Sincerely, Samantha.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect au-pair as I so enjoy engaging with children as they experience and learn about the world around them. I am always warm, loving and patient with children. I also have extensive teaching experience, and I believe I would be an ideal Home School Teacher, if needed. I am extremely responsible and will constantly observe and fully supervise your child/children when they are in my care. I am also a very good cook and can prepare all meals for the children and family if required. I am also happy to do any light housework that may be required. Thank you so much, Samantha.

Hobbies and other interests

Sailing, scuba diving, cycling, reading, science, astronomy.

Job description

Au-pair for the Gruss family, looking after their son Brad who has Aspergers. I would collect Brad from school, help him to complete his homework and prepare lunch and snacks for him. In our free time we played boardgames, his favourite being chess and we also enjoyed swimming and playing with his dogs. On some weekends I would take Brad out to watch a movie and go to animal parks. I had a wonderful experience with this au-pair position!
