Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, my name is Dominique and I currently reside in Boksburg. I have previously worked at an aftercare centre, helping Grade R, 1 & 2s with homework and general child care, which is where I found my love for Children. I have previous experience as an au pair , as well as babysat on evenings. My 10 year goal is to eventually go into play therapy. I am responsible, reliable and only a phone call away. I would really like to take the opportunity to not only help children with Homework, but also day to day living and Personal Growth.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am a very Kind and Giving person and I enjoy working and spending time with children. My goal would be for children to look up to me, not only as their teacher or au pair, but also a person they aspire to be and most importantly a Best Friend. I am extremely patient and believe that patience is key. My dream is to one day help Children in need as I believe I have a very soft heart and feel it is my destiny.

Hobbies and other interests

I enjoy arts and crafts, cooking and baking. I would love to do out door activities and to have fun with the children.
