Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family, I am a very respectful, open minded and free spirited and patient young lady. My kind heart has proven, with my younger siblings, to show them motherly care and love. I play sport (tennis) and enjoy watching hockey and netball. I am a psychology graduate and I'm always willing to lend a helping hand where possible. I refer to myself as a philanthropist and aspiring psychologist but at heart, an educator. I am very fond of children and find myself to be free around them. I am a very adaptable person and I love a change of scenery every now and then. I am looking to have my own foundation which will focus on career guidance as well as creating a platform for learners who are in need of mentors as well as help with regards to school related stuff + promote mental health, as well as promote a safe and healthy environment for them, whilst grooming them.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am skilled in the psychology field and I am very fond of children and young adults. I am patient, cautious and very responsible. I love working with children and young adults and interacting with people in general. I can work effectively and efficiently with anyone. I enjoy helping children with their homework and help them reach their full potential however I can. Sport days are my favorite because I do not only get to work, but I am able to show my support in the child's interest/s. I am very humble and always willing to learn. I do have a driving license and I am a very cautious driver.

Hobbies and other interests

I spend my time playing or watching sports. I am a beauty enthusiast and I enjoy reviewing make-up products. I find cooking to be very therapeutic for me, so I have grown a very big interest in cooking different meals for myself and family. I am very passionate about psychology and interested to learn more about the child development as well as mental health/awareness. I'm an avid reader and enjoy activities such as hiking and bird watching. My other interests are traveling and learning about different cultures.
