Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to join your family as your au pair. I am 24 years old and come from Montagu, Western Cape. I have a passion for working with children and am excited to engage with your family and immerse myself in your culture.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

In terms of my background, I have 2 years of experience caring for children of various ages, ranging from infants to teenagers. I have previously worked as a babysitter, nanny, and camp counselor, which has equipped me with a diverse set of skills and knowledge in childcare. I am a responsible and reliable individual who prioritizes safety and well-being above all else. I understand the importance of fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment for children to learn and grow, and I am committed to providing attentive and compassionate care to your children. In addition to childcare, I am also happy to assist with light housework and meal preparation as needed. I am fluent in Afrikaans and English and am eager to help your children learn or improve their language skills if desired.

Hobbies and other interests

Outside of childcare, I enjoy working out and cooking, and I am looking forward to sharing my interests with your family and learning more about yours. I am grateful for the opportunity to become a part of your family, and I am confident that my enthusiasm, dedication, and experience make me a great fit for the role of au pair. I am excited to embark on this journey with you and create lasting memories together. Thank you for considering me as your au pair, and I cannot wait to meet you all in person!
