Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I have a huge passion for children and I hope to be able to work with you in the care for yours. In 2022 I completed my Certificate level in Early Childhood Development through the Open University of England. I am a warm, loving, gentle but firm joyful spirit and it would give me great pleasure to look after your little one/s. I want to be part of the family and assist with any extra areas you may need me. I enjoy crafts, baking, being outdoors, swimming and many other fun activities that I'm sure you child/ren will enjoy too. If you would like to know anything else then please ask. I am very open. Thanks, Jessie

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I have experience with both boys and girls ranging from 4 months to 17 years. I like to do many activities and I like to challenge them to help them grow. I enjoy being outdoors and encourage imaginative thinking and role play. I have helped with homework and online learning. I can run a house and tidy up after children if necessary. I have such a passion for children.

Hobbies and other interests

I am the founder of a NPO in Hout Bay that operates a recycle swap shop. Children from low income homes bring in their recyclables in exchange for essentials like food, toiletries, clothing, books and toys. I also enjoy running, reading, going on hikes and being creative.

Employer comments

Jessie is a mature, responsible person. Very reliable, easy to live with, and most importantly she was fantastic in taking care of our active 3 yr old son. Jessie lived with us for the longest period of time over our other Au Pairs, and the reason for this is due to her commitment to putting her job first and foremost. She took her responsibility seriously, and built a great rapport wuth our son. We would be happy to re employ her in the future if the need arises. Jessie became a big part of our family.
