Introduction to families
"Dear Family" message
Dear Family, I am an experienced and reliable Au Pair, with an ECD qualification. Since arriving in Cape Town in 2020, I have been involved in School Transport Services and I have been an Au Pair for a Toddler, on a part time basis. I enjoy spending time with Children and this has helped me to understand their needs and the importance of expressing themselves.
Why I would make the perfect au pair
I enjoy spending time with Children and find it very rewarding as they develop and find enjoyment through various Art and educational activities, which I prepare for them. I have excellent references stating that I am punctual and reliable. I also have a recent Reference from a parent whose child I care for. (Available on request).
Hobbies and other interests
I love caring for animals. I also enjoy Cooking, Art and exploring the outdoors. I relocated to the Cape and look forward to discovering this beautiful part of our Country.

Employer comments
Renee was simply amazing with Seth. She gave him individual care and catered for his needs as Seth is left-handed, when he got to the nursery school where Renee was teaching, he had been struggling with doing certain things like cutting (using a scissors) but Renee was patient with him and now he cuts like a pro! Up todate, Seth still speaks about Renee. She is kind, hardworking and also has such a gentle soul. She did a great job with my son. She has made a lasting impression and impacted on my son's life in a very positive way.
