Description of tutoring experience

I was tutoring Ms Zanele Luleka's two kids. I would receive them from school and assist them with their homeworks while the mom is still at work. I was also helping them with their school projects. The older one was in grade 6 and he was 12 years old and the other one was 10 years old and she was in grade 4. I was also giving them extra lessons which I got paid for separately. Her contact is 0685060165

Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family I am Gcobisa M and I am 40 years old. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Education in Foundation Phase at Unisa and I'm doing my third year this year. I have two beautiful kids, Sisipho and Tumelo and I live in Gauteng, Midrand. I am seeking an Au pair role because of the love I have for kids and the care I have for their holistic development of the child as a whole. I have great people skills and I am an exceptional collaborator. I believe in the importance of effective communication to clarify processes and make things seemless. Above all, I always strive to ensure that the health and safety of kids and others around me is my utmost priority; be it what they eat or the environment they are in. I believe that prevention is better than cure, hence I handle health and safety with extreme care. I provide an environment where children can trust me and undoubtably understand that their needs are my priority. Further, creating a positive social and emotional environment that is built on caring and responsive relationships is of importance to me. I have done basics of health and safety and I have First Aid that I did with South African Breweries (SAB). I was a deputy First Aider so whenever the main First Aider wasn't there, his duties fell on me automatically. I can teach and tutor up to grade 6. I am available for house chores as well as multi-tasking is not a problem for me. I'm also a very neat person. Thank you

Why I would make the perfect au pair

- My charisma and sense of responsibility makes me a perfect candidate for the auparing/tutoring job. - I pay attention to detail hence I make it a habit to do things right first time. - The love I have for the little ones and that burning desire to drive them want to succeed and make the best out of their lives - My passion for the kids compels me to always pour unto them information that will mold them into great and better little creatures. - Seeing them achieve in all areas of life is an ultimate success for me and its so rewarding and fulfilling. I want to work in an environment that allows me to make impact in kids journeys and kids lives. Their development for me be it physically, cognitive, socially, emotionally, mentally, or in any other way is very important to me as it is where everything starts for them so I take it very seriously. If you want them to excel in every subject or even become creative writers, teach the love of reading and writing while they are still young.
