Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family My name is Elrika H. I am from Cape Town and currently reside in Durbanville. I am Afrikaans, but also fluent in English. I am an experienced Speech-, Language- and Hearing Therapist. I have a private practice and provide therapy to the pediatric population (children). I work with the normal developed child, as well as children with special needs. I have more than 18 years experience working with children. I feel comfortable around children and enjoy their company. I hope to be hearing from you soon!

Why I would make the perfect au pair

As mentioned, I work mainly with children and love being around them. I take pride in my work as a therapist/tutor for children. As an au pair I would love to give the best care and opportunities to learn in the areas of social-, educational- and emotional development.
