Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family, Thank you for your time and consideration and for earning your potential trust. I hope to help bring balance to you and yours and make things abit easier for everyone.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am very eager to learn new things and continuously meet new people. I speak 4 South African languages including English very eloquently. I believe that I'm a smart, assertive, attentive, open-minded, hard-working, easy going, dedicated, nurturing, and responsible person. I am very flexible. For me, safety, health and happiness of children are most important. I am currently studying towards a BA in Psychology in hopes of one day becoming a psychologist and helping people throughout my life. I have a huge passion and dedication to working with children with learning difficulties and those with special needs as I have been exposed to this through my journey as an Au pair and Tutor. I plan to merge these two goals into one for my future career. I have my own car and I'm very punctual and am a responsible driver. I am also willing to help with administrative (PA) work, very light housework, cooking and running errands.

Hobbies and other interests

My hobbies include, but are not limited to ; listening to jazz, going to worship and serve at church, meditation, cooking, reading, and exploring new places of art food and music.
