Introduction to families
"Dear Family" message
Dear Family. I am looking for the opportunity to to work as an au pair where I can contribute to the success and well-being of the child. From a young age I have had the privilege of working with many children with special needs as well as the elderly and have interest in pursuing a career in child psychology. I have a passion for people, especially children. I would love to have the opportunity to provide a stable nurturing environment for the child.
Why I would make the perfect au pair
From a young age I have been apart of a charity organization called Paws4God where therapy dogs would be used as a therapeutic aid to young children and eldery patients. It was here where I discovered my love and passion for working with people, especially young children. When I do take on a job working with children, these children become my first priority. Ensuring the safety of the child as well as the emotional well-being would always be a top priority.
Hobbies and other interests
I have interest in everything art. I have fifteen years of dance/ ballet experience and very much enjoy this beautiful art form. I also enjoy drawing and love to paint. As mentioned above I take great interest in psychology and would love to one day make this my career. I am currently funding my own University Education while working towards a BA in Psychology and eventually obtaining Masters degree in Clinical Psychology at the University of Pretoria.
