RACHAEL, 23 ÅR

Dear my second family

Coming from a household of a large family and being the eldest, I have fortunately been exposed to caring for my siblings from ages 5 to 16 thus also having to set an example, I have learnt to be responsible from a very young age.

My passion is teaching, not only do I do it on a daily basis at home but I am a qualified swimming instructor and an accounts assistant. There is no better feeling when you see pure joy when a child learns to swim by themselves. I also tutor children with maths and love to share the knowledge I have to children, in a fun and well-informing way.

I believe teaching holds such an important purpose as children are in control of our future. The more they are informed, the better for future generations.

I view au pairing as a great learning experience as it teaches one to step out of their comfort zone and to take on another family as if it is your own. I will look after your children just like a big sister would, with great care and love as if he/she were my own siblings.

I love the outdoors, especially beaches or even a sports field. I am very hardworking and always willing to learn. I am also a very active person and am currently studying my Diploma in Fitness and Nutrition. I have basic knowledge of Russian, Portuguese, Afrikaans and Zulu and have also recently started attending German lessons.

I also have a huge passion for traveling and I love to be exposed to multicultural and multilingual environments.

I have traveled to a few countries such as Germany, Russia, China, UAE and Czech Republic and some countries in Africa. If a family has intentions of traveling, I will not be any trouble as I am well experienced and a light traveler.

My dream and future goals are to study Bachelors of Economics in Czech Republic or Germany but to also explore the world as much as possible.
