Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family,, I'm Dee-Mari, a 21-year-old medical student at Wits. I'm really excited about the opportunity to be your au pair! I've always loved looking after kids and have learned a lot about time management and flexibility while juggling med school and babysitting. My weekends are pretty free, so I can be there when you need me most. Can't wait to be part of your family and make some awesome memories together!

Why I would make the perfect au pair

As a 21-year-old third-year medical student at Wits, I possess a unique blend of responsibility, compassion, and flexibility, making me an ideal candidate for the role of au pair. With a rigorous academic background, I have honed organizational skills and a strong work ethic, ensuring that I can manage my time effectively to meet the demands of childcare. Having cared for my niece extensively, I have developed a deep affection for children and a keen understanding of their needs. Additionally, obtaining my driver's license and owning a car in 2020 means I am equipped to handle any transportation requirements. My availability over weekends further demonstrates my commitment to providing reliable support to families in need. Overall, my combination of academic dedication, caregiving experience, and logistical readiness makes me well-suited to excel as an au pair.

Hobbies and other interests

In my free time, I love diving into art, from painting to sketching—it's where I find inspiration and relaxation. Nature is my sanctuary, whether I'm hiking or exploring the outdoors. Quality time with loved ones is precious to me, whether it's sharing stories with friends or enjoying family moments. These experiences enrich my life and keep me balanced alongside my studies.

Job description

Spending time with my niece, who is still in her infancy, is an absolute delight for me. Despite the demands of my studies as a third-year medical student at Wits, I treasure every opportunity to be there for her. Whether it's soothing her with gentle lullabies, engaging in playful interactions to stimulate her development, or simply cuddling her close, these moments are precious and deeply rewarding. As I witness her milestones and growth, I am filled with a profound sense of joy and responsibility. Looking after my niece not only strengthens our familial bond but also reinforces my commitment to nurturing and caring for young children. It's a privilege to play a role in her early years, and I cherish every moment spent with her, knowing that these memories will shape our relationship for years to come.
