Dear host family

Hello! I'am a South African in search for my first family match, I've been longing to be an au pair and I'm ready to be one soon.

My name is Khumo, I am a 20 years old and I live in a small town in South Africa, a beautiful country in Africa.
I am an open-minded, hard-working, easy-going, dedicated, trustworthy, helpful, patient, and responsible person. I love taking care of kids and their health, safety, and happiness, are the most important to me.

I am part of a very close family, and as a result my close inner circle of friend is also often viewed as family. I cherish and value my friendships, choosing to surround myself with loyal, loving, caring and fun people.

I love traveling, learning new languages and different cultures, meeting new people, and definitely making memories. My very calm, collected, patient, and quick learning always comes in handy when dealing with challenging situations.

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.

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.

I have never spent longer time abroad except from holidays but I am used to seeing my dad, mom and my siblings everyday o so I will have homesick definitely.

I am really curious to hear all about you and your children



I would describe my strength as an Aupair as the ability to bond really well with kids and also blending in very easily and as a result being able to be their mentor in different aspects of life and also be like their big sister, also the ability to learn from my mistakes. On the other hand, I would describe my weakness as an Aupair is that I have a hard time letting go of something or someone because I get too attached to children especially and hence becomes emotionally hard to detach from them.

In my free time I like to dance, listening music, watching movies or football, going out with my friends or my siblings and riding bicycles. When it comes to making food like cooking or baking honestly that is not my thing but as a big sister to my siblings I have to make them food even if I don't like cooking.


I am searching for a host family, that would be happy to have me as part of the family, be kind, welcoming and who are willing to learn new culture and language. I am looking for a long time stay with my host family, for one 1year or more depending on the connection formed with the family.

I really am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,
Khumo
