Comments
When I started to au pair, I never realized how important my work would be. To nurture and teach children in my care as well as being responsible for their well-being, is a very important undertaking in a family. I hope to broaden my outlook and better my understanding of people, their children and families and the intertwined relationships.

Comments
I am looking for a loving and kind family, willing to see me as an additional family member, rather than an employee. I would really enjoy it to develop an emotional connection with the family and child/children. Another reason why I would love to become an au pair, rather than just traveling regularly, is to give me a form of a comfort zone, in which I could feel safe and at home, with people whom I have grown to have a connection with.

Comments
I studied to be a foundation phase teacher, and have always loved children. I take great interest in their development and love seeing and helping them grow into the people they are supposed to be. I was lucky enough to spend a great deal of time with children during my time studying as I had to be a student teacher at four different schools, for a significant amount of time. My goal for the future is to one day have my own play school in Cape Town. I want to provide a safe space for children to grow and discover themselves.
