Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family, I am a warm, caring, reliable and trustworthy individual that loves working with kids and I will form a great addition to your family if you let me.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I love kids and I have 3 years overseas experience (USA and The Netherlands) and two years local (Richards Bay & Pretoria). I am passionate about my job as an aupair and see myself as an older sister to the kids and a part of the family. I have my NQF3, so I can act as an advanced first responder (higher level first aid) and I am very conscious of my surroundings and will always make sure your children are safe.

Hobbies and other interests

I love taking on new projects, doing arts and crafts and building stuff. I'm currently working at an Electrical company as administrator. But due to high living costs, I do need another income. I love watching Disney movies and also enjoy ice skating, going to the park, shopping and going on fun outings. I love learning and seeing new things, singing and dancing I worked at a swim school for a while and know how to teach kids from a very young age how to swim.
