MELANIE, 21 YEARS

My name is Melanie and I am 18 years old. I am living with my mother, my 20 year old sister , my 16 year old brother and our dog in Newcastle, which is a small town in South Africa . My dad lives in our home country . At the moment, I am in the last throes of my A levels and will be done in the first week of December.I would love to become your next Au Pair because I love children and enjoy spending time with them. I am prepared and I am well aware of the fact that being like a big sister for your children comes along with responsibilities for them and it will not always be just play and fun. My calm and patient personality will help me to master more difficult situations for instance when the kids are tired or don’t want to listen to me. I expect that in the first couple of days I will be exhausted at night because I guess taking care of children the whole time can be tiring. But I am sure that I will adapt to the new tasks and daily routine quickly and become a big help for you. Living with me is really easy as I am not a demanding person. I do respect that the house is your house and that I have follow your house rules. If something works not quite as it should, I prefer to talk instead of ignoring things.
