Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, my name is Azraa A, I am a recent Bachelor of Arts graduate from the University of the Western Cape, majoring in Geography and Environmental and Sustainability Studies with a minor in Language and Communications. I intend to pursue my postgraduate certificate in education where I want to specialize in teaching Geography and English Home Language as my subject choices. I have experience in substitute teaching, education assisting, and childcare.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect au pair as I believe that my experience in childcare and education assisting, aids me in possessing the necessary skills in nurturing, tutoring, and caring for the children in an environment that they feel comfortable in. As an au pair, my background would enable me to provide personalised care, assist with homework, and create enriching experiences for the children. My understanding of child development and educational principles would also contribute to their growth and well-being, making me an ideal candidate for the role.

Hobbies and other interests

My hobbies revolve around embracing the outdoors and exploring new experiences. I enjoy leisurely walks and find peace and relaxation at the beach. Additionally, I am always eager to explore new restaurants and cuisines which goes alongside my love for baking and cooking.
