Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

My name is Alicia and I am 37years old. Caring for children has become part of who I am. I know what it feels like to have a mother that works, constantly and my goal with each and every child I care for is to bridge that gap. Unconditonal love and safety is what every child needs!!

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I love children!! I am honest, hard working and reliable and I always put the child's needs first! I am an equal balance of love and kindness so I am able to get things done. I am highly efficient!! I have my Certificate in Pre-school Education through Embury College and am currently studying via long distance towards my Diploma. I have my accreditation towards Early Childhood Development and am throughly trained on age appropriate stimulation. I have a valid First Aid Certificate. I love the outdoors am not afraid to get dirty. I have cared for newborns to 13 year olds. I am fun and energetic. I have cared for 3 sets of newborn twins, including my own. I am able to live in and work flexible hours during the week. I have also worked as a night nanny and I have sleep trained many of the infants I have had the privilege of caring for.

Hobbies and other interests

I enjoy cooking and baking. I have also learnt how to prepare a variety of foods for kids of all ages.

Employer comments

Alicia as a person as a whole: • Highly educated • Great advice with anything relating to children • Warm and loving • True passion is children • Safety is key for her • Extremely trustworthy • Great listener • Loves to laugh, dance and sing • Very energetic Our son and Alicia’s relationship has been the most heartening part of her time with us. My son is now 17 months old and so confident and meeting all his milestones way in advance due to Alicia’s support. Any parent would be lucky to have Alicia working with their family. She not only embodies what I think it would take to be Nanny of the year but she is also the real deal, a true caregiver, in every sense of the word. I would recommend Alicia’s services to any caring family.

I am 100% responsible for the twins every need from 16 months. I have stayed over on weekends and some week nights when needed as Mrs Chetty use to travel for work, before the pandemic. I am responsible for all stimulation, meals, bathing, playtime, nap time, story time, etc. Mrs Chetty needs have changed and she now needs an Aupair that can live in. I am not able to do so due to my own family responsibilities.
