Employer comments

Mariette has been a wonderful asset in our household. Mariette is a qualified Educare teacher and has extensive experience in the field of child minding. She has cared for and nurtured our two daughters since they were babies up until the age of 5 and (almost) 3. Her gentle, kind and patient approach is truly appreciated. It is with great sadness that we are no longer able to offer Mariette a position, due to a change in my work arrangements. We initially came into contact with Mariette on the Au Pair SA website and have built a trustworthy professional relationship over the past 4.5 years. We can certainly recommend her without any reservation

Employer comments

We consider ourselves greatly blessed to have Mariette as our Aupair these past two years. She is wonderful with our daughter and has been so from the time our daughter was seven months old. Having some montesori teaching experience herself, she is a great teacher indeed and our daughter has surely benefited from it - at 2 years 4 months being able to talk fluently. Our daughter loves her and feels very secure with her. Mariette is always on time and she has been truly indispensable in helping us balance our busy lives. The reason why she is looking for new employment is that our daughter will start going to school next year and Mariette needs full day employment. I can recommend her wholeheartedly. You won't be sorry.
