Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

My name is Bongiwe M. I am 26 years old and from a small town in the Northern Drankensburg of South Africa, called Bergville. I live with mother, sister and my cousin. I spend time with my colleagues. The work place has taught me many skills when it comes tó dealing my different people from different backgrounds and dealing with the public. Our customers come from all over the globe which is why I am so excited to finally explore the world myself. I once went to USA (California) as an Au pair for 8 months, then I moved back to South Africa because of emergency. Than went back to South Africa because of emergency. I would describe myself as a reliable and caring people and have learnt to make the best out of the situation. I value my friends, colleagues and family and I always try to be there for people if they need my help. Because we live in such a beautiful part of the world and tourists love to explore. I have spend many days with our colleagues doing ziplines, hiking swimming in the mountains streams and mountain biking. Ay the moment, I have been finishing off my schooling as it was quite disrupted with the COVID pandemic. I also worked at Hospital in my spare time assisting with Admin duties. It has been quite difficult because we were having shortage of stuff than we usually do. I also worked at fastivals where I helped run the gates, assist the artists, run the food stalls and also opened a place where children could come over for the day while they parents are off having time. I hope we can develop a good relationship, working and living together as a family. I would be very happy to experience an eventful year with your kids. I am looking forward to talking to you.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I love children, and they also feel happy when they are around me. I want to get to know the Johannesburg way of life as well as different cultures. Most importantly it would be a great chance to spend long period of time taking care of your children.

Hobbies and other interests

1. Running It helps me think and be creative It simply keeps me fit. It is the mental health benefits 2. Travelling Travelling takes me out of my comfort zones and inspires me to see, taste and try new things. 3. Puzzles Puzzles helps me to improve cognitive skills such as memory. It releases stress, encourages mindfulness. 4. Cooking It is fun, it give me a chance to be creative. 5. Art and craft Help keep my brain busy and focused. I like the feeling of accomplishment when I finish a project
