Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Hi there, I am a patient, kind and honest student completing a degree in education for the foundation phase (grades R-3). I am currently working in a special needs/remedial school and looking for a second income steam. This could be child care, tuition, holiday care or a babysitting position. Being able to assist children is one of my passions. Professionally, it is always a victory when I have helped a child to achieve not just academic, but all-round success and come closer to realising their true potential. I look forward to looking after and forming a close bond with your child/children:)

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would be the perfect Au pair for you because I have 13 years of childcare experience. This year is my sixth year working in a special needs/remedial school and I am flexible and adaptable to your child's needs. I am very familiar with CAPS (the S.A school curriculum), however, I am able to teach in other curriculums. I have given Mathematics and English tuition for a over a few years. I believe everyone learns best in their own way, and this is how I will assist your child/children. My first aid certificate is expired, however, I have had first aid training twice. I am also available for a baby-sitting and holiday care position, as and when needed. I have

Hobbies and other interests

Spending quality time with family. I have a great love for animals. Completing piece puzzles. I enjoy going to libraries often. Gaining new knowledge, learning new skills and having new experiences.
