Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Greetings! My name is Shingirirai, Shingi for short, and I am a final year law student at the University of Witwatersrand who is currently based in Pretoria North. I come from a humble background of strong family values which have influenced my journey in this life to be principled as they say, "manners maketh man. " It would be more than my pleasure to be a helping hand in assisting the family to lighten any encumbrance in the household.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

Every lesson that has been learnt in life has revolved around experiences. I have grown up in a family of 3 as the first born of a brother and sister who are 10 and 7 respectively. Thus babysitting becomes a natural instinct especially with the delicacy and awareness required by being around children. Therefore, such a load may be heavy for some families who do not have an always available big brother, sister or helper to aid with picking the others from school, helping with homework or even making sure their fed. With that being said, I come as the third hand to alleviate any pressure that the other two hands cannot hold.

Hobbies and other interests

I am an athletic young lad, meaning sports and exercise are a major fancy. I find poetry very exciting as well novels, though I prefer entrepreneurial ones over fiction. Other than that, I have a major passion in cooking which unlocks my creative side.
