Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear host family, I am already very excited about getting to know you. But, first of all, I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Marlene S. I am 3 years old and from the small city Citrusdal in Cape Town. With my mother, Maria (54). I am living in a house that is located in an area full of nature. We have got two cats a who love to cuddle all day. I would describe myself as a reliable and caring person, who tries to make the best out of every situation. I like spending time with my friends; they are – as well as my family – very important to me. Always trying to help, I’m always there for them if they need me. In my free time, I like to listen to music, go shopping or dance. Dancing is one of my favorite hobbies. Furthermore, I enjoy reading a good book and singing – I am in a band. At the moment, I work as a Primary school as a library teacher I enjoy this job very much, because I am able to bond with many of my children. Through this time, I have found out how much fun it is to have children around, I can’t imagine a life without them. The reason why I want to go to Johannesburg as an au pair is that I want to get to know the way of life as well as different cultures. Most importantly, it would be a great chance to spend an entire year taking care of children. And of course, it would be great to improve my English skills as well. 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 you and your kids. I am looking forward to talking to you. Yours sincerely, Jana

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I have always enjoyed working with children and find it rewarding to help them learn and grow. I am patient, and responsible, and enjoy creating engaging activities for children.
