Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, My name is Nokuthula, better known as Thuli. My daughter is 11 years old and very energetic. I live with her and my retired mother. I have been an au-paired from the age of 19 in the US and locally. I've been au-pairing after hours and on weekends while working full-time office work. I am pursuing early childhood development studies to improve my childminder/au pair skills. In my career, I have worked with kids who are differently abled (Learning disabilities/ Cerebral Palsy and children born with H. I. V) I have experience with newborns, toddlers, and teenagers; my motto is leading by example and with love. I also believe in boundaries and being firm. I follow instructions very well and always respect the parent's decisions and guidance. I'm mature, reliable, honest, and willing to assist families in achieving the required outcomes that will be beneficial for both the children and parents. Regards Thuli

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I have 20 years of experience, and I'm passion-driven. Matured I can take instructions and know how to deal with kids of all ages. I will share my CV on request as my background is more transparent and outlined on my CV. With twenty years of driving experience, I have also worked with children who are differently abled and suffer from chronic illnesses. I am currently volunteering at an ECD daycare in Alberton and have enrolled as a student at The Teachers Learning College NQ Level 4 ECD course (online)

Hobbies and other interests

Employer comments

Thulis was an exceptional au pair/nanny. She was an invaluable addition to our household, and I cannot speak highly enough of her dedication, responsibility, and genuine love for children. Thuli consistently demonstrated her strong work ethic, going above and beyond in her role as an au pair/nanny. From the moment she joined our family, she impressed us with her ability to handle various tasks related to childcare and household management effortlessly. Her commitment to creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for our children was truly commendable. What sets Thuli apart is her undeniable affection and kindness towards our children. She quickly formed a strong bond with them, providing them with the love and attention they needed. Her interactions with the children were filled with patience, understanding, and positive reinforcement, which resulted in remarkable progress in their personal and social development. Her competency in handling household tasks related to children was exemplary. From preparing nutritious meals to organizing educational and fun activities, she consistently ensured that our children's needs are met with utmost care. Her ability to maintain a tidy and orderly environment while juggling multiple responsibilities is truly impressive. Furthermore, Nokuthula's calm demeanor was always a breath of fresh air during challenging moments. She handles stressful situations with grace and composure, always putting the well-being of the children first. This level-headedness instilled a sense of security and confidence in me as a parent, knowing that my children were in capable hands. Thuli was an outstanding au pair, and has become an life-long friend of our family. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any family seeking a responsible, hardworking, and loving caregiver for their children. Her genuine passion for childcare, excellent household management skills, and positive reinforcement approach make her an invaluable asset to any household.
