Description of tutoring experience

I tutored my peers when I was in Matric. I provided guidance and tips as well as access to my meticulous notes. Additionally, I researched alternative methods of learning the material if the mainstream method taught was confusing and applied it to the pupils that needed it. Each pupil had lessons tailored to their style of learning and we co-operated in a manner that was easiest for them to understand the information and practice the different methods.

Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

"Dear Family" I am an honest, reliable, and punctual 21 year old female residing in Cape Town. I am energetic, enthusiastic and approach each challenge with a positive attitude. Additionally, I am friendly, well-mannered, and have a caring heart. I believe these qualities are advantageous for the position of being an Au Pair.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I believe I would make the perfect au pair despite my lack of direct experience because of my strong educational background in psychology, specifically in developmental psychology. This academic foundation has equipped me with a deep understanding of child development, cognitive growth, and emotional needs, which I am eager to apply in a practical setting. My passion for nurturing and fostering children's growth, coupled with my commitment to creating a safe and supportive environment, makes me confident in my ability to provide the care, guidance, and attention required to be an excellent au pair. I am a quick learner, adaptable, and genuinely excited about the opportunity to contribute to a child's development while becoming a trusted member of the family.

Hobbies and other interests

My passion is Psychology and intend to become a clinical psychologist. I love being in nature and taking walks with my dog in the forest or on the beach. I love reading and listening to music and I have recently picked up knitting as another hobby. I enjoy photography and being creative whether that is painting or sketching or any other medium!
