Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family thank you for taking the time to read my letter. My name is Zahra and I am 19 years old. I am currently living with both my parents. I live in Discovery which is on the West Rand of Johannesburg. I am Christian and I am the youngest amongst my siblings.At the moment, I am about to start studying with Edutel which is a 3-4 year online course in Education. I am a licensed driver with my own car and have 2 years driving experience. I’m In my spare time I love to play tennis or spend time with my family. For the last 8 months I have been Au Pairing an 8 year old and a 6 year old I would love to become your next Au Pair because I love children and enjoy spending time with them. I am prepared and I am well aware of the fact that being like a big sister for your children comes along with responsibilities for them and it will not always just be play and fun. My calm and patient personality will help me to master more difficult situations for instance when the kids are tired or do not want to listen to me. Living with me is really easy as I am not a demanding person. I do respect that the house is your house and that I have to follow your house rules. If something works not quite as it should, I prefer to talk instead of ignoring things. I am really curious to hear all about you and your children. I hope you like my letter and I cannot wait to hear back from you. Thank you for reading my letter and kind regards, Zahra.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect Au Pair because I'm a very happy, bubbly and smiley person patient with children and enjoying spending time with kids as well as learning something new everyday. I will learn to play and discipline children in the way parents are most comfortable. I'm an extrovert and I make friends easily. I value the opportunities I will have and I'm not just here to earn some money. I am able to multi task and handle situations as calm as possible. I am very humorous and find the good in every situation I'm put in. I'm very matured as well as confident enough to resolve issues by themselves with the family. I have previously au paired for a year and a half for two children aged 6 and 8 and I have the ability to understand children and to not just au pair them but to be considered a friend and role model to them as well

Hobbies and other interests

My Hobbies are baking, make up, swimming, playing tennis, going vacation and zoo visiting. I also enjoy spending time with my family and being crafty. I prefer being outdoors and doing outdoor activities. I am currently learning to lay the piano and I have my Gauteng colours for singing.
