Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Hello :) My name is Andrea. I have my honours in psychology, my postgraduate certificate in education and am TEFL certified. In addition, I am a qualified Life Orientation teacher for learners in Grade 8-12.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make a perfect au pair due to the fact that I am very passionate about children. I have a very soft, caring nature but at the same time, am very fun and will do exciting activities with your children. I have been babysitting and looking after children since I was 9, so I am aware of certain routines to follow as well as the perfect snacks to make. I will also be able to assist and tutor children as I have been a teachers assistant and worked with learners between ages 18 months -6 years and am a qualified Life Orientation teacher for Grades 8-12. I have also previous AuPaired for children between the ages of of 4 and 11 years old. I also just recently returned from Iraq. I was employed as a KG2 (Grade R) teacher at the International School of Chouiefat - Erbil.

Hobbies and other interests

My hobbies are swimming, playing the piano, listening to music, spending time playing with my dogs Bailey and Bubbles, and travelling to different destinations around the world.
