Introduction to families
"Dear Family" message
Dear family, It is lovely to meet you. My name is Tessa C and I am a hard-working, determined young woman currently living in Welgemoed, Bellville.
Why I would make the perfect au pair
I would be the perfect au pair because I am patient, understanding, and find immense joy in helping others. I also enjoy the creative, uncensored company of young children, who I have found help me to better understand myself.
Hobbies and other interests
My hobbies include exercise like volleyball and roller-skating (I am very active), reading, writing, and playing the piano. I am interested in languages (I am currently learning to speak Japanese), literature, and healthy living.
