Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family I am an enthusiastic and empathetic young woman with a great passion for children, animals and helping people. I am an aspiring teacher and want to complete my degree within the next few years. I have had over 8 years' experience working with children in Cape Town. I have been a teacher, aupair and tutor. I have worked with children on the spectrum over the years, as well. I would make the perfect au-pair because I am adaptable to all children, situations and cultures. I am a very down to earth and warm person. I have my own car and a driver's license and I know the Northern Suburbs very well. I see myself as being a fantastic role model for children, introducing them to new things and experiences as well as sculpting their young minds for the better. I grew up with my mother being a teacher and was immediately inspired to follow in her footsteps as I saw how each child absolutely adored and looked up to her. This, I believe, made me an aspiring mother and teacher/Aupair/tutor. My job/work is my passion and I go out of my way to help in areas where families do not have time to do what is needed. I am ready to start as soon as we can come up with an agreeable contract after we set up an interview and have negotiated a fair salary.

Hobbies and other interests

Being in nature, listening to music, helping others, camping, hiking, eating good food, spending time with family and friends. Gaining knowledge on my expertise in my surroundings and from other people and children I love spending time with people and growing universally in all aspects of life and cultures.
