Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family, I am a Grade 2 teacher, currently teaching at a school in Kyalami. I graduated in 2020 with my education degree, and have been doing shorter courses specialising in inclusion and special needs teaching and learning. I have been au pairing for the last 8 years, and have been so lucky to work with many families and children of all ages.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I have had a lot of experience with children, both in and out of the classroom. I have a passion for working with kids and love building connections and aiding to their growth and development from my side too. I am looking for au pair work in the early mornings, where I can help with school drop offs. I am then available in the afternoons for school pick ups, homework assistance and general au pair duties.

Hobbies and other interests

I am a qualified scuba diver, and I am hoping to further extend my education by completing my honours degree and working toward being a full time learner support teacher. Teaching learners with special needs is my passion.
