Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, My name is Denise C. I am a divorced mother of two adult children. I am a qualified pre school teacher with over 20 years of teaching experience. My childcare experience ranges from infant care to toddler and preschool aged children. During the Covid shut down I was forced to seek alternative employment as teaching posts were hard to come by at the time. My current employment is Property Manager for Umdoni Point Lifestyle Village and although I have adapted remarkably to a vastly different line of career in the property and building industry, I will always be a mother and teacher at heart. I miss the loving and positive environment associated in working with and caring for children and would like to return to my original ECD career path.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

As a qualified preschool teacher with over 20 years of teaching and childcare experience, I bring to my work a unique blend of the wisdom of motherhood, patience, understanding, and empathy. I pride myself on being well-organized and meticulous, always striving to create a structured routine that benefits both children and their families. Attention to detail is a priority for me, and I handle responsibilities with ease and competence. Whether as a mother or a teacher, I have honed my skills and understanding of working with children, making me an ideal candidate for an au pair position. My motivation lies in nurturing and assisting children in their complete holistic development, and I am committed to maintaining a high level of dedication to my work.

Hobbies and other interests

I enjoy scuba diving, free diving, horse riding and beach walks. My other interests include music, painting and reading.
