Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family, My name is Melissa T. I am currently 21 years old and working at a pre-school in fourways. I come from a family of 5. I have an older brother in his late twenties and a younger sister who is 12 years old. Family is of utmost importance to me and has been the foundation of my up bringing.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect Au pair because I am enthusiastic about children and especially their love for learning. Working with children has always been a passion of mine and I have been blessed with opportunity to do so for the past few years. I have vital early childhood experience specifically with ages 2-3 yrs.

Hobbies and other interests

I have a few hobbies I enjoy. My favorite of all of them is Rock climbing, both indoor and outdoor. My other hobbies include: hiking, camping, reading and cooking.
