Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Hi! My name is Danielle, I have been working with children since I left matric in 2018 and I have absolutely loved it. I was also an international au-pair for 2 years in California, USA, and I still have a very good relationship with the family that hosted me. I am looking for a new family that is not only needing extra childcare, but that are comfortable with gaining an additional family member.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

In the years that I have been working in this field, I genuinely feel like I fall more in love it. I love a child's perspective on life. It is refreshing and I love creating a sisterly bond with the babies that I look after. I believe in creating a safe space for them to be the best versions of themselves. I believe that I provide childcare of a high standard and that your children will always feel loved, heard, appreciated and well-connected.

Hobbies and other interests

I am a bookworm. I once finished a 334 page book in 24 hours! However, I also take pride in looking after myself, I love fitness and I go to the gym on a daily basis. I love cooking and trying new recipes. I also am an absolute lover of nature, and often you will find me on the beach with a good book, or hiking scenic trails.
