Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Hi my name is Cusandra. I am a loud happy and carefree personal with a kind heart. I have 2 years working experience with children. I was elected as youth leader in the Voortrekkers. I worked at a pre school in my free time during my matric year. I also worked at a children's holiday camp in South Africa. I strive under pressure and I try to push myself to better heights in life.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

My love for children makes me a great candidate for au pairing. I love children from all ages. I love interacting with them and getting to know them on a personal level. I believe all our difference is something to be celebrated. I love teaching new skills and experience new things like fire dancing.

Hobbies and other interests

I love the adrenaline things like horse riding, kayaking, canoeing and mountain climbing. But I also enjoy the arts and kulture things like drawing, painting, dance, singing and acting. I also enjoy the small things like boardgames with the family and movie nights.
