Introduction to families
My name is Estie. I worked in the catering / hospitality industry for 22 year and then made a complete change to work in a Child & Youth Care Worker where I was responsible to care for 9 children. I discovered my other passion besides serving a great plate of food and it was my love and compassion for Children. Its so great working with children, I have learnt so much during the past 3 and half years working at the CYCC
I’m a creative, out of the box thinker, good at solving problems and very strong in admin. I’m also loyal and hardworking, passionate and dedicated. I was responsible for the admin and smooth running of the CYCC. I prepared all their meals, helping with their homework and their school projects, taking them to school and picking them up in the afternoons. I took them to all their external activities, appointments. I engaged in intellectually stimulating play & activities with the children e.g., improving their fine & large motoring skills including cognitive and sensory stimulations through arts and crafts, group dancing, painting, baking, playing games etc. I also helped them with their therapy 'homework' e.g., aggression discharge therapy to assist them to give outing to all the anger and frustration they have stored up in a healthy manner as well as various other techniques. I tried to create a safe haven for every child that came through the door. To be a loving caregiver that loved every child, encouraged them to be the best they can be, nurturing all their aches and pains (physical and emotional) trying to meet them on their level of needs. I’m a creative, out of the box thinker, good at solving problems and very strong in admin. I’m also loyal and hardworking, passionate and dedicated. It my desire to make a difference in every child life that crosses my path. I have gained a lot of experience theoretical and practical. I have attended several courses to stay relevant. I have my own car and is a very good driver
Love cooking and baking. Baking with kids are so much fun. I love to teach and to learn as much as I can. I love reading and its so important to help children to find the benefit of reading because it can open a whole new world of mystery and adventures. I'm a very creative person, enjoying all kinds of Art & craft and experiments projects to do with children. I love music and dancing.

Estie is a loving, caring and friendly person who assist with everything. She is honest, reliable and gets along with the whole family. She assists with home work, transport kids from school and activities, preparing lunch and supper and even look after our pets if needed. If you struggle to manage work and kids, Estie is an organised person, a helping hand who makes life so much easier and you know that your kids gets the well deserved attention. I do recommend Estie as she performed in all areas that we needed assistance in.
