Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Subject: Application for Au Pair Position Dear Family, My name is Gwendolyn Ntsiki B, and I currently reside in Parkhurst, Johannesburg. Previously, I managed a Montessori playgroup in Highlands North. However, due to my morning studies, I am no longer able to continue running the playgroup. I am now seeking a position that will allow me more flexibility in the mornings. I am very passionate about working with children and have experience in creating a nurturing and educational environment for them. I believe my background in running a Montessori playgroup has equipped me with the skills necessary to excel as an au pair. I am enthusiastic, responsible, and dedicated to providing the best care for your children. I am confident that my experience and commitment make me a suitable candidate for the au pair position.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

As a seasoned childcare professional with a background in managing a Montessori playgroup, I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the role of an au pair. My passion for working with children, coupled with my nurturing and educational approach, sets me apart as an ideal candidate for this position. I am dedicated to creating a safe and stimulating environment for children to thrive in. My strong sense of responsibility, reliability, and enthusiasm enables me to connect with children on a personal level and provide them with the care and support they need. I understand the importance of building strong relationships with both children and their families, and I am committed to fostering a positive and trusting bond with all those under my care. I am patient, adaptable, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure the well-being and happiness of the children I work with. In conclusion, my experience, skills, and genuine passion for childcare make me confident in my ability to be the perfect au pair for your family. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my unique qualities to your home and make a positive impact on the lives of your children.

Hobbies and other interests

I am passionate about arts and crafts, where I enjoy expressing my creativity through various artistic mediums. Cooking is another one of my hobbies, as I love experimenting with new recipes and flavours in the kitchen. In my free time, you can often find me engrossed in a good book, exploring different genres and authors. I also have a knack for making leather goods, finding satisfaction in crafting beautiful and functional items. Writing is another passion of mine, as I find solace and inspiration in putting my thoughts and ideas onto paper. Yoga is a significant part of my life, providing me with physical and mental well-being through regular practice. Lastly, I find joy and relaxation in gardening, nurturing plants and creating a peaceful outdoor space to unwind in.
