Introduction to families
"Dear Family" message
Hallo, my name is Paula-Jeandri, I will be turning 23 soon. I am part of a family of 7. My parents and 4 other siblings of which I am second oldest. I have an older brother, two younger brothers and a little sister. I matriculated in 2016 and have been looking after children ever since. In high school I was part of the first aid team for 5 years and played field hockey. I have helped out at daycare. I spent some time as an Au Pair in America and I am currently looking after a baby boy in the mornings and 2 girls between the ages of 2 and 5 in the afternoons. I am hoping to keep on looking after children next year because it is what I love doing.
Why I would make the perfect au pair
I have been an Au Pair for two years in America at two different families (2017-2019). My first year I looked after a 6/7 year old girl and my second year I looked after I looked after 4 children between the ages of 5 month and 12 years old (two girls and two boys). I loved my time and experience in America. I have helped out at daycares and have helped look looked after my cousins and younger siblings before I went too America. I am currently looking after 2 girls (2-5 years old) since March and a baby boy since August (he was turning 4 months old). I love looking after children and would love to continue looking after them. I am fun, loving and easy going. I have a lot of patience and love doing new things and going on adventurous. I am reliable and trustworthy. I am a really flexible person and love children. I am independent.
Hobbies and other interests
I love being and spending time in the outdoors. Going for walks and coloring. Learning and experiencing new things is such an important part of my life.

Good day Paula looked after my baby boy from 3.5 months until 7 months of age. She is truly someone I would recommend to anyone. She has so much passion and was extremely patient with my boy. Her attention to detail is also very good. She is a very neat person with high standards for personal hygiene. Me and my baby boy are blessed to have Paula in our lives. Regards
