Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

My Background I am 23 year of Age, friendly and easy to get along with. My biggest enjoyment is taking care and looking after children and have a passion to work with and caring for children. This is the only career that I wanted to pursue from a young age. It would be a dream come true if I could work in such an environment. My believe is to be honest at all time and to be punctual when reporting to take care of anyone’s children. I’m a friendly, reliable and trustworthy individual and would strive in this position. I am fully bilingual speaking English and Afrikaans and have excellent skills in listening and writing and know how to prioritize and organise a day’s duties. I Believe that I adapt easy to any environment.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am friendly, outgoing and easy to get along with. I am at my best interacting with people and obtaining experience in caring for children and keeping busy. I can work independently without supervision. I have excellent time management. Work well under pressure. Always willing to show initiative once given a chance to prove my skills gathered.
