Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, My name is Minenhle and I am 28 years old. I currently live in Gillitts, Durban and I am a stay-in Au-Pair. I'm also studying a Bachelor of Education in Foundation Phase Teaching. I have been in childcare since January 2013 and I have loved every minute of it! I've been with children in different environments; my church (junior church teacher & youth group teacher/core member), tutoring during COVID/lockdown, holiday program dance instructor, babysitting and currently au-pairing.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect au pair because I'm great with children, especially between the ages of 2 to 10 years old. I do build relationships with them quite well and easily through patience, friendliness and a bit of firmness. I'm passionate about my creativity and playing around with it in forms of crafts, physical activity and writing/storytelling. I have great planning, organisational and interactional skills, and I'm also very responsible.
