Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, My name is Arushka V. I am a qualified teacher and achieved my BEd Senior and FET-degree at the University of Pretoria. My main subjects are Mathematics (gr. 7 - 9), Mathematical Literacy (gr.10 - 12) and Afrikaans. My home language is Afrikaans but I am also comfortable speaking English. I love to work with people but especially children. I want to have a positive influence in every child that I work with. I am hardworking and give my best in everything that I do. I hope that I can be the best au pair for you.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect au pair because I am friendly, motivated and determined. I am a good teacher and I will give my best to facilitate children with their homework. I have several experience working with children. I previously worked at high schools and is currently working at a primary school. I also have experience working at an aftercare-centre for children between the ages of 7 and 14. I have previously worked as an au pair as well. I also have experience in tutoring and babysitting.

Hobbies and other interests

My hobbies and interests include: * Spending time with my husband and my beautiful baby daughter. * Cooking * Baking * Working in the garden. * Community service * Playing with my dogs. * Listening to music. * Going to markets.
