Description of tutoring experience

From 2020 to 2022 I was involved in a tutoring programme for Yeoville Christian School, tutoring grade 6 and 7 learners in English and Mathematics. Having matriculated from Roedean School last year, I have now also become a member of the South African Old Roedeanian Association, tutoring learners at the school in various grades in six of the subjects I received distinctions for. I also have previous Baby-Sitting and Au Pair experience, having assisted children aged 6 and 8 with daily homework activities.

Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

My name is Natascha and I am a recent graduate of Roedean where I dedicated myself to achieving distinctions in six subjects through much hard work and perseverance. Now, having just turned 19, I'm embarking on a gap year to embrace life beyond academics. My focus is on exploring new opportunities and nurturing my passions, particularly in childcare and creativity. One of the highlights of my journey thus far has been working as an Au Pair for a family with two wonderful children, aged 6 and 8. Over the course of a year with Baby Sitting too, I diligently attended to their needs, managing school schedules, providing academic support, and fostering meaningful interactions. Beyond fulfilling tasks, I found genuine fulfilment in nurturing relationships and contributing to the children's growth and development. In addition to my childcare responsibilities, I am deeply passionate about creativity, particularly in art, design, and photography. These mediums serve as outlets for self-expression and avenues for inspiring others. As I embark on this new phase of my journey, I am eager to explore the possibility of joining new families dynamics. With a commitment to dedication, enthusiasm, and genuine connection, I am confident in my ability to contribute positively to new households.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

Growing up in a household where both my parents worked tirelessly, I intimately understand the feeling of longing for someone who feels like a second parental figure. It's a daunting feeling initially, entrusting someone with that role, but when you find the right person, it's transformative. I aspire to be that guiding light for other children, offering not just academic support, but a nurturing presence akin to family. My journey, enriched by a lifetime of travel since the age of three, has instilled in me a profound appreciation for life's diverse tapestry. I yearn to share this boundless enthusiasm with others, igniting their curiosity and fostering a thirst for knowledge. Central to my approach is the belief that self-care precedes altruism. By empowering others to prioritise their own growth and well-being, I aim to plant the seeds of self-fulfilment and resilience. I am committed to guiding people towards becoming the best versions of themselves, not just academically, but as whole, confident individuals ready to embrace life's challenges and opportunities with open arms.

Hobbies and other interests

In my free time, I thrive on adventure and exploration. Traveling is my ultimate passion, allowing me to immerse myself in new cultures and landscapes. Whether I'm swimming in crystal-clear waters or hiking through scenic trails, I find joy in the thrill of discovery. Capturing the beauty of my surroundings through drawing, painting, and photography is a cherished hobby of mine. Music is a constant companion, enriching my experiences as I soak in the sights and sounds of different places. I relish in socializing and connecting with people from all walks of life, cherishing moments with friends and family. Additionally, I have a keen interest in languages, cultures, and cuisines, always eager to expand my horizons and embrace new experiences.
