Work History

Au Pair

The Müller Family
01.2024 - Current

I am responsible for 2 kids each morning from 05:30 am to 07:30-07:40 each morning. A girl Miecke (7) and a todler Joshua (2)


I am helping the family out in the morning because the parents work in Constantia so they have to drive very far and get up very early for work


I am still helping them out every morning.

Au Pair

The Holtzman Family
01.2023 - 11.2024

I lived with the Holtzman’s in 2023. I had to manage the boys schedule whether it was getting them ready before school, school work, projects, after school programs, school vacation or even some weekends.


I also was in charge of a few housework duties, and had to prepare a few meals throughout the day.


I went on some getaways and vacations with them.


I still have contact with the parents and the boys.

Au Pair

Family in Val De Vie
09.2018 - 11.2024

I looked after two boys , Campbell (8) and Liam (4) for a few months, about 6 months. After that I started with Matric so I did not have time for the schedule that I had for my school year and studies and for the boys. So then the December in 2018 I unfortunately had to say goodybye to the family and they also moved out of town.
