Dear host family, my name is Tayla-Jade, but you can call me TJ for short. I'm 20 years old and I live in a coastal town called Port Elizabeth in South Africa. I have over 350 hours of childcare experience, and a passion for working for children. I would love to be an Au Pair in your home to have an opportunity to grow, nurture and care for your children. I am enthusiastic about an opportunity to immerse myself in your country's rich traditions and language. I am quick learner and adapt easily to new environments. I love to work with children; Au Pairing will also give me an opportunity to experience different cultures and lifestyles with my host family. I plan to Au Pair for as long as possible to experience my life at the fullest and different host countries. I have more than 350 hours of child-minding experience. I got this experience working at a creche (kindergarten) I was the teacher's assistant in the class. The ages varied from 1 years old to 10 years old. I helped with feeding times, playtime, teaching colours, basic shapes, numbers and letters. I also assisted with nappy changes. I assisted setting up nap time. I also assisted with reading older children's stories. I would qualify for this position as I love kids and i feel to be a au pair you need to have a love for kids because yes you would be travelling as well but you spend a lot of your time with the kids.
