Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, I'm from a small town in the Cape Winelands, but have travelled to many places working as a Au Pair. I finished up High School and immediately started my journey as an Au Pair. I am a fun, energetic, positive and reliable person who loves working with kids. With my positive mindset, I find it quite easy to adapt to new places and people and with that said makes it easy for me to take risks and to be out of my comfort zone.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect Au pair, not because of my many years experience working as an Au pair, but my ability to connect with all aged children. I see my duty as an Au Pair not only as a job, but to become a role model or even big sister they can trust. A bond with the kids for me is essential as we would be spending most of our time together. I am also reliable and punctual which is extremely important when working with kids as they lead by example.

Hobbies and other interests

I spend my free time in the gym, socializing with friends and family. I have a great passion for dancing and have participated in quite a few competitions as well as traveling to Croatia for a International dance competition. I absolutely love traveling and have travelled to over 9 countries so far. I also love working with kids as every day is a new adventure.

Employer comments

Mareze is a reliable girl that keeps her promises. She was able to bond with our children quickly. She is relaxed and easy going. She is independent and takes initiative to make most of opportunities to explore her environment while being abroad. Mareze’s experience with our family was her first tenure as an au pair. Meanwhile she has gained much more experience and I would recommend her to any family in need of a good au pair.
