Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, I grew up looking after other kids, gave Sunday school at church as soon as I was old enough! I first started Aupair work in 2007 while I did my 3 year studies at Rhema Bible Training Centre, I continued with aupair work after my studies, working in the morning and doing aupair work in the afternoon. I now have 2 kids of my own, 11 and 9 years of old. I have also been teaching at preschools for 3 years. For 2 years I was blessed to be part of a family with a very special boy, non verbal, special needs. After we moved to Centurion I am still doing Aupair work, helping kids and families where I am placed.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I love spending time with kids, behaving like one of them at times, playing till everyone is dead tired. I know when to put down boundaries and believe it should be done in love! Kids should not be afraid of you but have respect and they cannot have that in fear. I love teaching kids about Jesus, telling them the stories in a way they understand and remember. That is my greatest passion in life - teaching young kids who Jesus really is!

Hobbies and other interests

Arranging Kids Parties, Reading, baking, Telling stories. More baking!
