Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, My name is Nokuthula, better known as Thuli. I have a daughter who is 12 years old and very energetic and I am also a guardian to my 19-year-old niece and 21-year-old nephew. I have au-paired from the age of 19 in the US and locally. I've been au-pairing after hours and on weekends while working full-time office work. I am pursuing a career in early childhood development to add to my experience as a childminder/au pair skills. In my career, I have worked with children who have unique abilities (Learning disabilities/ Cerebral Palsy and children born with H. I. V) I have experience with newborns, toddlers, and teenagers; my motto is leading by example and with love. I also believe in boundaries and being firm but gentle. I follow instructions very well and always respect the parent's decisions and guidance. I'm mature, reliable, honest, and willing to assist families in achieving the required outcomes that will be beneficial for both the children and parents. I have also acquired an additional skill in Change Management, I adapt to change effortlessly. Regards Thuli

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am a highly motivated, experienced, reliable, and loving nanny with over 20 years of experience in caring for children and their families. I am qualified to take care of children as young as 8 weeks old, as well as children who have unique abilities. I have a proven track record of satisfying families and they are willing to provide recommendations for my services. I am happy to take on household duties and work with the family to meet their individual needs. I have always enjoyed working with children and find it rewarding to help them learn and grow. I would describe myself as patient, and responsible, and enjoy creating engaging activities for them. In addition to my experience as a nanny, I have also gained extensive experience in the public sector. I have worked in both the Stakeholder Management and ICT sectors (Youth Skills Development). I can keep calm in busy and complex environments and inspire others to work together to achieve organisational goals. I have a proven success record in positively impacting the day-to-day running of operations, ensuring that office operations, systems, and protocols are running effectively.

Hobbies and other interests

Traveling, spending quality time with family, exploring new places, cooking, re-organising, taking walks, hiking, volunteering, swimming, and upskilling myself.

Employer comments

Thulis was an exceptional au pair/nanny. She was an invaluable addition to our household, and I cannot speak highly enough of her dedication, responsibility, and genuine love for children. Thuli consistently demonstrated her strong work ethic, going above and beyond in her role as an au pair/nanny. From the moment she joined our family, she impressed us with her ability to handle various tasks related to childcare and household management effortlessly. Her commitment to creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for our children was truly commendable. What sets Thuli apart is her undeniable affection and kindness towards our children. She quickly formed a strong bond with them, providing them with the love and attention they needed. Her interactions with the children were filled with patience, understanding, and positive reinforcement, which resulted in remarkable progress in their personal and social development. Her competency in handling household tasks related to children was exemplary. From preparing nutritious meals to organizing educational and fun activities, she consistently ensured that our children's needs are met with utmost care. Her ability to maintain a tidy and orderly environment while juggling multiple responsibilities is truly impressive. Furthermore, Nokuthula's calm demeanor was always a breath of fresh air during challenging moments. She handles stressful situations with grace and composure, always putting the well-being of the children first. This level-headedness instilled a sense of security and confidence in me as a parent, knowing that my children were in capable hands. Thuli was an outstanding au pair, and has become an life-long friend of our family. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any family seeking a responsible, hardworking, and loving caregiver for their children. Her genuine passion for childcare, excellent household management skills, and positive reinforcement approach make her an invaluable asset to any household.
