Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family/Liewe Familie Thank you for taking the time to read this introduction. My name is Gina N, originally from Stellenbosch and living in the southern suburbs. Ek kan ook vlot Afrikaans praat, en het al kinders in Afrikaans getutor. I really hope to hear from you!

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I think au-pairing is the perfect opportunity to advance my experience with children, and further my work experience with my time constraints while studying. I mostly have formal experience with older kids, but I have always been interested in early childhood development, and would love to advance my formal experience with toddlers/babies.

Hobbies and other interests

I have always been a music nerd, with my main focus in school having been singing, piano, and guitar, and I currently sing in a choir and keep up with my piano playing occasionally. I spend my time learning new music and reading up about psychology and early childhood development. I also love history and literature, and am currently pursuing a Bachelors Degree of Social Science in History at the University of Cape Town.

Employer comments

Gina slotted effortlessly into our family and has been such a solid, dependable and kind-hearted presence in our lives. She is ever punctual and reliable in driving the kids from school and to activities, assisting with homework, assignments and exam prep, and being a calm and all-round good influence on them. I can highly recommend Gina with children of all ages as she is very mature and doesn't seem fazed by anything. She would make a wonderful babysitter and tutor. She is loving, fun, resourceful and creative, with excellent communication skills.
