Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Hello! My name is Micah, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to become an au pair for your family. I am a 22 year-old from Cape Town and I am excited about the chance to join your family and help care for your children. I love working with kids and believe that being an au pair is not just a job, but an opportunity to create lasting memories and build meaningful connections.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I believe I would be a perfect au pair for your family because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn and grow. I am patient, responsible, and creative, which makes it easy for me to engage with kids in a fun and educational way. I understand that being an au pair involves more than just childcare; it's about becoming a trusted member of the family. I am committed to building a positive and respectful relationship with you and your children, while also respecting your household rules and routines. I am adaptable and flexible, which allows me to adjust to different situations and family dynamics. I have experience in taking care of children of various ages, and I am always open to learning and improving my skills. My goal is to create a safe and loving environment for your children while you are at work or busy with other responsibilities.

Hobbies and other interests

In my free time, I enjoy a variety of hobbies and activities. I love dancing—it allows me to express myself and stay active. Reading is another passion of mine; I enjoy immersing myself in different worlds through books. I also like to stay active by exercising and taking long walks, which gives me a chance to appreciate nature and clear my mind. Another hobby I recently started is crocheting. I find it relaxing and rewarding to create something beautiful with my hands. Camping is another interest of mine—I love spending time outdoors and experiencing new adventures.

Employer comments

Micah was an exceptional caregiver for my son during her employment with our family. She has consistently demonstrated genuine care for my son. She was responsible for accompanying him to and from school and also planned engaging activities. She was also responsible for managing his schedule and preparing meals. Micah also assisted when my son had to undergo foot surgery, and she showed exceptional care. Her level of patience and empathy was commendable. My son will be having the same procedure on the other foot, in 6 months time and we really hope Micah will be available to care for our son again. I highly recommend Micah as she made a significant impact on our family and I'm confident that her future employers will find her to be a valuable asset. Sandra Jones
