Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family I am a young, energetic young lady from a small town in the Freestate. I come from a family of five, I am the oldest of 3 children. I studied in Nelspruit. Shortly after returning from my studies, I received a job opportunity at a private Montessori school in Maseru, Lesotho. It was as the school librarian. this was in 2018. Over the past 4 years that I have been there, I have worked my way up as an office assistant to Assistant Teacher in the pre-school and reception classes where the teachers have started training me. I have done Pearson's courses band have been to Montessori training classes in Johannesburg. Here is where I discovered my deep love for children. I also quickly discovered that I worked best one on one with small children as well as disabled children. This lead to my decision to spread my wings and leave my small town behind to become an au pair.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I believe that I would make a perfect au pair because of my love and admiration of small minds. I am very protective and motherly towards children and will love them as if they were my own.

Hobbies and other interests

My hobbies are mainly things that will keep my hands and mind busy and focused. This is why I enjoy crocheting and writing. I enjoy they outdoors and wildlife as well and will never say no to a hike. :)
