Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

I recently came back from my Au Pair In America experience and I stayed in Chicago. My host kid was a 9 year old boy. I've traveled to 13 states with the family and came back home after a year to continue with my tertiary education. I'd like to become a live-in Au Pair In South Africa and would love to be apart of a family that will treat their Au Pair with respect and have open and honest communication at all times.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

Before I became an Au Pair I was a administrator in the corporate world and I have good time management skills. I've always had a love for children so making the transition was seamless. I have patience with children and will take care of them to the best of my capabilities.

Hobbies and other interests

I've participated in many activities but the ones that stuck was Netball, listening to music and going to social gatherings that advocates for positive change in society. I love going on hiking adventures and swimming! I read books more frequently during loadshedding and binge watch Netflix when I want to unwind. I'm an amateur runner as well and hope to do my first half marathon this year.
