Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Hi I'm Lee, a 54 year young mother, with reputable credentials. I am hardworking, honest and reliable. I am an enrolled nurse with about 20+ years of nursing at various hospitals in Cape Town. I was doing aupair work for 7 years with a family in Camps Bay. 6 months in Constantia. Due to them relocating back to England and France respectively, my service ended. I have worked for a Gynecologist, doing nightshift, looking after her her twins for 2yrs, my contract ended after they left for Mauritius. For the last 4yrs I was looking after twins, I resigned in October 2021 as the family was experiencing financial difficulties. I will be available for work as soon as a position is available. I looked after both sets of twins from birth until 4yrs of age. I did Doctors appointments with them, did the baths, gave them breakfast and took them to school. Prepared lunch and dinners for them. Helped with schoolwork, stimulated the younger one with play activities and did daily walks. Took them on play dates and extra murals and well as doctor appointments. Bathed them and fed them before going home. Did overtime at least once a week and over weekends as well.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would be a suitable candidate as I'm reliable, honest, clear police records, I'm hardworking, and come with reputable credentials. I have nursing background and have worked at known hospitals. I also have motherly extincts as I'm a mother myself

Employer comments

Whichever family gets Lee, has found the best Au Pair in terms of skills, personality, commitment, reliability, trust-worthiness, morals, availability. Lee has been working for us for 3 yrs in Camps Bay since I was pregnant until now, where we leave SA. We are 2 working parents-often with long hours. Lee has a nursing background–knows exactly what to with sick kids. Very hygiene & safety conscious. A good driver + reliable car. Has contributed in shaping our kids' manners & eating habits (making healthy fresh food). She is a wonderful cook. Very patient. Has kids of her own (betw. 4 & 17) - perfectly managed w/o ANY interference at work. Knows her place in the house-is never invasive. Takes kids to school, activities, playdates, doctors appointments. Baths and feeds them (they literally shine after their baths). Do homework. Stimulates kids during the day. Lee has been a key foundation in our family. We would highly recommend her.
