Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family. I am Elanie and I'm 32 years old. I love children. I have between 15 and 16 years experience with kids. I may come across as a bit of an introvert when I meet you, but as soon as I am comfortable around you, I'm an extrovert.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect au pair because I love children. I will look after your children as if they are my own. I am also willing to travel with the family if necessary, run errands for you and if necessary cook. I also have musical knowledge (piano and basic guitar). Even though my most recent experience is with older children, I have lots of experience with the ages 0-5years

Hobbies and other interests

I like to read. I am a regular gym goer where I enjoy spinning classes and zumba.

Employer comments

Elanie fulfilled her duties with professionalism, honesty and dedication and was more than effective in completing her tasks. Elanie ensured the safe transport of the boys to and from School and extra mural activities. She assisted with home work, prepare lunch for them and always went the extra mile to ensure the boys are ready for tests and exams. Elanie had a certain way with the boys to keep them disciplined without being forceful. If we were to reside in Gauteng in future I will gladly employ her again. I have no doubt that she will prove to be just as valuable to another family that chooses to employ her.

Employer comments

Elanie always came to the house on time, smiling and full of energy. She is intelligent and a great listener. My kids always look forward to spend time with Elanie and respect her as an authority figure. Elanie is always willing to go the extra mile, stay later than suppose if requested and always willing to help on very short notice. Any family hiring Elanie, has very fortunate children indeed.
