Introduction to families
"Dear Family" message
Dear Family, My name is Humairaa, but you can call me Mairaa for short. I am currently living in Johannesburg. I have my Undergraduate studies, with a major in Psychology, at the University of Pretoria 2019. I have completed my Honours studies in Psychology through Cornerstone Institute in 2022. I am a volunteer counselor at Life line Pretoria. I have completed a vast array of counseling course, Namely TIR, TRE, Play therapy and general counselling which I hope to use to open my own practice in the coming years. I am a well focused and determined individual who strives to achieve my best and constantly improve my knowledge and skillset. I believe not everyone is the same and therefore needs help in ways that are in tune with who they are. Hence, I continue to partake in studies and courses to allow a variety of options to assist the people who need my help. I am currently completing practicals for TIR, TRE as well as Play-Therapy. I am originally from Mahikeng a small town in the North West Province. I come from a Family of 5, my parents and 2 brothers who I currently live with. I am fluent in English, I only speak an intermediate level of Afrikaans as I had Afrikaans as a first Additional language. I would describe myself as caring, loving, friendly, trustworthy, helpful and having a positive mindset.
Why I would make the perfect au pair
I’m a person with a strong-will and determination. I am punctual, responsible, creative, adaptable, and extremely flexible with my schedule. I take initiative and always willing to go the extra mile, I also have a strong passion for working with kids I believe I have the patience and love to treat all kids with the necessary love, comfort, diligence and care that is required of me. I am very proactive and would do more than enough to ensure the children are attended to in terms of their school work, keeping them busy through creative and educational means. I am very big on tidiness so I will make sure I clean up after the kids and the place is not left in a mess at any cost. I am also a very independent and mature Individual whereby I have experience of running my own household attending to the needs of my 2 brothers in the past and now my husband as well. I would be willing to ensure the children are therefore, well looked after while under my supervision. The reason why I want to be an au pair is to gather valuable memories, meet new people and experience the way of life of different cultures. I have a lot of free time and would be more than willing to make myself available if my assistance is needed outside of a pre-arranged schedule for working with the family. Lastly, I would be happy to have the opportunity to speak with you to answer whatever questions you may have about me or my childcare experiences, to learn more about your family, your interests and to know more about what you expect from the au pair arrangement. I hope we can develop a good relationship and work together as a family. I’m looking forward to a great opportunity to be apart of your family.
Hobbies and other interests
When it comes to leisure, I take pleasure in the simple things in life. I enjoy being outdoors, being with my friends, going for walks, shopping, visiting places I have not been to. This however, I do to a bare minimum as I recently decided to spend most of time at home. I love cooking and find it to be very therapeutic in times of stress and joy.
