Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Potential Family My name is Sandra. I am outgoing, spontaneous and loving and absolutely adore kids! Sometimes I feel like my heart is still very young as I have more fun hanging out with young kiddies than I do with people of my own age. Please consider me if you are looking for a responsible, experienced, and extremely fun big sister for your kids! I am interested in positions with a minimum salary of R4000 and if there is a need for driving I require AA rates and proof of insurance if a different vehicle must be used.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect au pair for you as I have a lot of experience. I lived in America for 2.5 years as an au pair and it taught me a great deal about looking after kids and looking after myself. I grew so much more patient and kind while in the presence of them, and I think I have become a well rounded individual. I also had the best time of my life being able to spend so much time with the kids, and doing things that they really enjoyed. I am also very creative, smart and well mannered. I would be able to teach your kids the things that you as a parent cant. I would give them all my love and affection and treat them like they are my younger siblings and definitely grow a friendship that can last a life time.

Hobbies and other interests

I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I love the outdoors and when the weather is nice I’m always sitting outside or doing an outdoor activity. I love swimming, playing my ukelele, and creating videos and photo reels on editing software. I also love art and studied performing arts. I have been dancing since a young age, and I also love singing and acting in plays or creating my own scenes and acting them out. I really enjoy a wide range of sports and dont mind getting down and dirty with little boys and playing rugby or soccer. I love animals and like to go to the zoo or a petting farm often.
