Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Hi my name is Laura 🥰 The times I have put are when I'm available for this year. I am currently living in the Durban North area while I am in my last year of studying Foundation phase teaching at Varsity college! Going into my last year in 2025. - I took a gap year as an au pair in the Netherlands as I love children and looked after twin babies from the age of 3 months to 1 as well as a 2 year old. I have many years of experience now working with children and babies as I have always volunteered regularly at baby homes such as the La Lucia baby home which has sadly closed down. I have been left alone for long hours with 3 kids all under the age of 2 during my au pair year. I am highly capable in caring for babies. I can make bottles, feed babies solids, put babies and kids down for naps and change diapers, feed babies bottles during the night, anything that needs to be done with a baby I've done, I have even taken twins to a doctor appointment!. So if you want anyone looking after your young ones message me and I would love to care for any of your precious children, I absolutely love looking after children and have such a passion for them. I love primary school children, have helped with homework and driven children around in my car.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am fun, responsible, caring will look after your children like they were my own, I have been a full time au pair before, I am studying foundation phase teaching.

Hobbies and other interests

Cooking/baking, running, the beach, being outdoors and going for walks, volunteering!
