Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, My name is Lawon, a 23-year-old currently pursuing studies in psychology, and I am delighted at the prospect of joining your family as an au pair. Hailing from the vibrant city of Cape Town, South Africa, I've recently relocated to Pretoria to further my academic journey. My passion for nurturing young minds is profound, and I bring with me a wealth of experience in tutoring children in subjects such as math, English, and Afrikaans. What truly sets me apart is my innate ability to forge deep connections with children and infants, fostering an environment where they feel secure and at ease in my care. I believe that my background in psychology complements my childcare skills, enabling me to understand and cater to the unique needs of each child under my supervision. Beyond childcare, I am an individual with diverse interests and pursuits, and I am eager to share those aspects of myself with your family. I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to become a part of your family's journey, and I am eager to contribute positively to the lives of your children while also enriching my own experiences.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am confident that my positive attitude, adaptability, and dedication to childcare make me a great fit for your family. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment. As an aspiring au pair, I bring a wealth of experience and passion for childcare, having successfully tutored children in math, English, and Afrikaans while effortlessly connecting with them to create a safe and nurturing environment. Hailing from Cape Town and now residing in Pretoria, I offer diverse cultural perspectives for enriching family dynamics. My studies in psychology further equip me to understand and support children's emotional and developmental needs. Demonstrating adaptability through relocation and expressing genuine dedication to the role, I am committed to providing exceptional care and support to your family, embodying a perfect blend of passion, experience, cultural enrichment, and unwavering commitment.

Hobbies and other interests

I'm an energetic and reliable person who thrives on outdoor adventures and creative hobbies. Painting, hiking, and playing sports are some of my favorite pastimes. Outside of my interests, I'm enthusiastic about diving into South African culture, eager to soak up your traditions and way of life. Additionally, I'm a professional athlete, adding another dimension to my diverse background and skill set.

Job description

I provided dedicated childcare, ensuring I was available whenever needed, from sunrise to sunset. This included accompanying the child to doctor's appointments, handling feeding schedules, and implementing successful sleep training routines. Whenever the mother required assistance, I was always ready to step in, offering hands-on support and care.
