Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family My name is Kerry, I am studying at UCT and living in Rondebosch, Cape Town. I am a student with some free time who would love to help out with looking after, tutoring or lifting children.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I love children. I am great with people and love getting to meet new faces. I would do my absolute best to help with children in many ways, I am able to be a tutor to them. I achieved 7 distinctions in Matric so I have many tips and tricks that I learnt along the way. I enjoy driving and would be more than happy to provide lifts to and from school or other locations. My afternoon time is flexible. I've worked with children before and would be delighted to do it again!

Hobbies and other interests

swimming, journalling, painting, reading, arts and crafts, baking, listening to podcasts.

Employer comments

Kerry is a reliable and responsible young lady who helped at both aftercare and a holiday program run by the school for children between the ages of 2 and 7 years of age. I have been teaching children the ages of 4 to 8 over the past 35 years. I spent 12 years at Kingsmead college and 10 years at Beaulieu preparatory school. Kerry worked as a Teachers assistant in the class with me and with one of my colleagues. She is a patient and kind person who was very well liked by the children. Kerry also au paired for a colleague Jessica Reilly who can be contacted on +27820992902 for further confirmation of Kerry's capabilities and her fondness of children between the ages of 2 and 7. Please don't hesitate to contact me for any further information you may require. Kind regards Tracey L.
