Assisting and guiding my son throughout school, from GR through to matric which he completed in 2020 during covid, and much was done online too for a number of months. I also helped family and friends' children with home schooling during covid. I will however honestly say that when it comes to Maths, especially in the later years (ie-high school), I am totally out of my depth, and my son went to extra Maths lessons at school, as well as to Master Maths. I have a great command of the English language, written and orally, and assist with other subjects, school projects, and prepping for exams.

Introduction to families
Hi there, Adele here. I'm a mom with lots of hands on experience raising not only my son, but others too, and being blessed as God-mother to some, where I play an active role in their lives. My home was always filled with boys from school visiting/ spending weekends too. My domestic workers children also grew up in my home during their formative years, and were taught computer skills, to swim and how to drive late on in the years, alongside my son. I live out Blouberg side, but I do have my own reliable vehicle and am willing to travel to other areas. I'm available for telephonic, online face time, or even better, to come in personally for interviews. I'm available immediately. I've intentionally left the expected min and max hourly compensation rates at a random R100-R200, because it would all depend on the individual circumstances, and whether ad-hoc / permanent and live in /live out, both of which I'm prepared to do. The site does not allow for me to leave it blank, nor say negotiable which it would be based on many factors.
I'm mature (turning 45 shortly) and have no dependants nor restrictions on my time and availability. I'm pretty easy going, consistent, reliable, of sober habits, mindful, and in good health. I'm also not a youngster that is obsessed with sitting on their cell phones all day. I'm very security conscious and also very careful on the roads. I like routine, structure and implementing a calm, happy, functional environment. I am a stickler for hygiene, manners and etiquette, yet at the same time also think that children need to have some good old fashioned fun and get their hands dirty too, play on the beach/outdoors, and lots of laughter! I like to believe that I'm sensible & rational, can follow instruction, but also think for myself and find solutions that works for everyone. I don't panic easily, and as much as I'm easy going, I'm not a walk over. My son is 21 and has been in San Fransisco for the past year and is fully independent. He's a well balanced all rounder who was also very active in Sports so I'm no stranger to the late practices / traffic / super early Saturday morning trips to far away sports fields, and am always happy to fill in / drive or assist with any of the above too. School events, playdates, sleepovers, extra mural activities et al. I'm happy to shop, run errands, do laundry, prep and cook meals, lunchboxes, menus/ budgets (also adept at different dietary restrictions/preferences)
I like to read, do crosswords, play boardgames, and write. I enjoy the beach, walks, and gentle hikes. I like to grow herbs and fiddle in the garden, and go on scenic road trips. I absolutely love cooking, and the kitchen is my happy place. Besides for cooking all the regular favourites, I thoroughly enjoy experimenting with new recipes and other cuisines. I'm not really much of a tv or social media person, although I do sometimes like to play scrabble online on my phone at night or watch a documentary before bedtime.
