Description of tutoring experience

I have a lot of experience in childcare and education, working with infants, toddlers, and youth. I started with babysitting and au pairing for infants and toddlers, making sure their daily routines were smooth and full of love and care. As a tutor at Khayalethu Youth Centre, I helped older children with their studies and provided guidance. This taught me how to engage kids of different ages in meaningful and fun activities. Currently, I am an au pair looking for a new family to join as soon as possible. In my past roles, I have: • Driven children to and from school safely and on time. • Helped with homework and study sessions, making learning fun and effective. • Prepared healthy and tasty lunches, catering to each child’s needs. • Created a fun and stimulating environment, ensuring the children always had a smile on their faces. I’m excited to find a new family where I can continue to provide great care and support for their children.

Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, My name is Mieke, and I am excited about the possibility of joining your family as an au pair. I am currently studying education at Varsity College, and during my gap year last year, I discovered my passion for working with children while au pairing. I have experience caring for infants and toddlers, ensuring their routines are smooth and filled with love. I also tutored at Khayalethu Youth Centre, helping older children with their studies and engaging them in meaningful activities. In my past roles, I have: • Driven children to and from school safely and on time. • Assisted with homework and study sessions, making learning enjoyable. • Prepared healthy and delicious lunches. • Created a fun and stimulating environment to keep the children happy. I am looking forward to finding a new family where I can continue to provide excellent care and support. I can’t wait to meet you and your children!

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I believe I would be the perfect au pair because I bring a deep love for children and a background in education from Varsity College. During my gap year, I discovered my passion for childcare, which drives me to create a nurturing and educational environment. I love being creative and hands-on, whether it's crafting activities or listening to jams in the car with the kids. I learn as I go, adapting and growing to meet your family's unique needs.

Hobbies and other interests

I'm passionate about animals and have two very busy dapple dogs at home along with a cat. Photography allows me to capture special moments and create lasting memories. Studying education at Varsity College keeps me curious and eager to learn about nurturing young minds. Camping with my family is always an adventure that brings us closer together, while traveling broadens my horizons and sparks my curiosity about different cultures. Most of all, I find immense joy in spending time with children, creating fun and memorable experiences together.
