Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, my name is Cherissa S, I live in George. I have always had a passion for children this passion also decided my future career path, as I want to study to become a teacher. I love working with children and also have a way with them. Usually the kids love me just as much as I love them. I would love to get the opportunity to take care of your children whilst you work and do other duties. I can assure you that I would satisfy all your needs and the responsibilities that you assign towards me.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect au pair because I honestly live children and I know how to handle them and work with them. I also have a teaching diploma, this enables me to provide plenty of educational stimulation of any degree to the children. I have very good communication skills and I am a warm, fun and creative person. I am sure that I will be able to make the children feel safe and comfortable. I am also very responsible and can assure you that I will always carry the children's best needs and mind. I have many talents and ideas that would certainly make me the perfect au pair.

Hobbies and other interests

I have many hobbies and interests. One of the first is : cooking and baking. I am an exceptionally good cook and Baker, so j can assure you that you children will be supplied with various delicious snacks and food (according to their diet and needs). I also love singing and dancing and know my way around the piano and ukulele. I love to draw and paint and would gladly do this as an activity with the children. I also like being active and going on hikes and doing kickboxing.
