Child Care Experience
I watched the Pritchard family whose children are 8 and 14 years old from January 2012 to November 2018 when needed. This included providing them with entertainment, making meals for them, and general child care activities. I babysat children at a restuarant on weekends from February 2017 to November 2018 where the children were ages 2 to 12 years old. I would provide entertainment for the children, look after them, and ensure their safety while they were at the restaurant.

I want to be an au pair because I believe in the beauty of cultural exchange.

I want to be like a big sister for my host kids, contribute to the lives of my host family, and also grow a s a person.

I want to be a part of the au pair program because it would mean that I would get the opportunity to be a part of a new culture and new way of life. I would get to learn about different people in a way that is not possible through social media, documentaries, or word of mouth. I enjoy working with children and have experience working with a diverse group of children.

I want to become an Au Pair because I love children and I see it as great challenge to au pair in America. I want to gain knowledge about American culture and also teach my host family more about South African culture as well. I have worked with children of all ages and I always try to relate to them. I am a very caring and loving person, but also very determined and goal-oriented. I have good values and manners. I believe that I am a great candidate for this program and I can't wait to be a big sister to my host kids.
Child Care Experience
I watched a group of children ages 2 to 5 years old during the holidays from April to December 2018. This included feeding them, taking them to the bathroom, taking care of them, and assisting them as needed. Currently, I babysit two boys ages 3 and 4 for 4 hours a week, as needed, and have done so since June 2018. I feed them, bathe them, prepare lunch for them, change their diapers, and put them to bed. Finally, from October to December 2018, usually during weekends or as needed, I babysat Jude (5) and Lily (2). I would typically perform all of the basic tasks needed for their general well-being.

I want to become an au pair because I feel that I will have a positive influence on my host family's life. I want to use this opportunity to show you more about my culture as well as learn more about yours. I love learning new things and I feel like this is a step in the right direction. I am a skilled swimmer and participated in numerous activities during my high school career including athletics and school plays.
Child Care Experience
I worked at a primary school with children ages 7 to 9 years old for 25 hours a week and children ages 8 and 9 for 6 hours a week from April to June 2018. I would help the teachers with their curriculum, help out at fundraising events, supervise the students, coach netball, supervise their games, and learn from the teachers. From July to September 2018, I worked at an all girls school with children ages 6 to 9 years old for about 26 hours a week where I would help the girls learn the curriculum, supervise them, help out at carnival day, and help teach them tennis. I also worked at Creative Academy for the month of January 2016 for 30 hours per week. The children here were 4 to 6 years old and I helped plan and present the lessons, supervised them, and played with them. Currently, I babysit Gaby (10) and Tiago (5) a few times a month, as need, and have done so since 2015. When babysitting them, I supervise their homework, entertain them, and drive them to and from their various activities. Finally, since November 2018, I have babysat Itamar (15), Evitiar (12), and Omar (7) for 3 hours a week. I take them to and from school, provide general child care, and help them with their homework.

Comments
I want to become part of an American family because I absolutely love young children which is why I have studied a degree in childhood development. As a 4th year student, I just completed 20 hours of practical teaching and I have thoroughly enjoyed guiding them, bonding with them, and seeing them develop and this is what I would like to do more of as an au pair. I want to be able to travel as well as learn from different people in a brand new setting. I feel like my biggest strength is patience as I believe that children need to develop at their own pace.

Since 2015 I have been taking care of Chanindy (4) and Divan (1) about 20 hours per week, preparing food for them, playing with them, putting them to bed. Since then I also work for the Viljoen family (two children 5 and 9) every Wednesday and more as needed, dressing them up, taking the eldest to school, changing diapers, etc. For a few years I helped two families, caring for Alvin (4) and JJ (2) and for Himnarie (4) and Chistiaan (7), feeding them, entertaining them, and putting them to bed. Lastly I also babysit Maryke (3) and Kaitlyn (6) one night in 2017.

I have always loved children. The beginning of 2018 I had the opportunity to visit America for 3 weeks. I enjoyed it so much and just new I had to go back to learn more about the country. I knew an au pair program could give me that opportunity. My strengths are a steady amount of love, lots of patience and support, I can set a good routine, and make sure the kids are fed and kept safe. Additionally, I am first aid certified.

From Dec 2017 till Jun 2018 I took care of Clair (16mo) weekly, feeding her, changing her diapers, playing with her, and putting her to sleep. In 2017 I worked at a school with 4-year-old children every day for 2 months, assisting the teacher, helping children with their learning and in their everyday needs. I also volunteer at a few different places. One is a hospital in pediatric ward, caring for sick and injured children. Once is at a primary school (children 3 months to 2). And I also volunteer at an orphanage with children of all ages and background.

I have learned a great deal on how to be adaptable, as I was an exchange student in 2016 for a month. I learned how to respect other people's opinions. I am a patient person and will adapt to a new environment very quickly. I am a very patient and friendly person and feel like I can share my passion for cultural exchange with my host family.

I volunteer at Norsa Baby House since 2018, where babies stay before being adopted. We have sometimes up to 6 babies at a time to look after, feeding them, bathing them, changing their diapers, playing with them. I was a member of our "scouts" group where I assisted children 4-12 years old with games and other activities. I took care of a boy (2mo) once a week from 2013 to 2015 and a girl (11mo) twice a week in 2018. I also occasionally babysat a 6 year-old girl and 2 boys (1 and 4), playing with them, helping with meals, etc.

This would be a wonderful opportunity to experience another country, meet new people and experience a new culture. I absolutely love children and it would be lovely working and caring for them whilst experiencing a new culture. I am infant qualified, have a lot of childcare experience and I believe my responsible, hard working and caring personality makes me qualified to participate in this program.
