Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

thank you for taking the time to read my letter. My name is Zinhle and I am 24 years old. You surely get a lot of these letters from prospective Au Pairs, but rest assured, you will not regret to read about my reasons why I want to become your Au Pair. I am currently living with my mother, my other siblings a year older, sister and two brothers in Kempton Park,... I worked at a primary school for a period of 8months, I would be assigned to teach the youngest group of children the basics of reading and listening. In between the short exercise lessons I was responsible for entertaining the children and we had lots of fun playing hide and seek, doing face paintings, colouring and many more games.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

Reasons why I will be the perfect au pair is 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 be just play and fun. My calm and patient personality will help me to master more difficult situations for instance when the kids are tired or don’t want to listen to me. I expect that in the first couple of days I will be exhausted at night because I guess taking care of children the whole time can be tiring. But I am sure that I will adapt to the new tasks and daily routine quickly and become a big help for you. 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 follow your house rules. If something works not quite as it should, I prefer to talk instead of ignoring things.

Hobbies and other interests

I love reading novels, going out, playing some games, very much into sports and usually just taking some time out walking.
