Hey there! I’m Annabella, an 18-year-old from sunny South Africa who loves the outdoors, kids’ laughter, and a good adventure. I’m active, creative, and always up for something new — whether it’s helping with homework, planning fun activities, or joining in on family outings.If you’re looking for someone responsible, caring, and full of positive energy, I truly believe I could be the right fit for your family. I connect easily with kids and love bringing warmth and laughter into their day.Becoming an au pair isn’t just something I want to try — it’s something I’m passionate about. I can’t wait to care for your children, share my culture, and create amazing memories togetherEven though I’m still in school, I balance my studies with two part-time jobs. I work as a waitress at the Jukani Boma Dinners and as a tour guide at Monkeyland.
Academically, I take my education very seriously and consistently achieve high grades. I’m proud of my work ethic and my ability to manage multiple responsibilities at once.In addition to working, I’ve spent the past four years volunteering at Sunday School and Holiday Club, where I care for and teach children aged 2 to 14. Through this experience, I’ve developed a genuine love for working with children — guiding them, playing with them, and learning from them has brought me so much joy. I have also babysat kids and I'm planning to work in a nursery ( school for toddlers) next year just before I hopefully depart for my aupair year/yearsIn my free time, I love spending days at the beach, swimming, or simply feeling the sand beneath my feet. I also enjoy hiking, cycling, and generally being outdoors — anything involving nature makes me feel alive. During high school, I played field hockey and tennis (though I’ll admit tennis wasn’t my strongest sport ?). That’s why I’d love to join a family with active children — I’d be thrilled to join in on their adventures and outdoor activities!The main reason I want to become an au pair is that it perfectly combines two of my biggest passions: working with children and exploring new places. Being around kids gives me a sense of happiness and purpose that I could never find in an ordinary office job. I truly believe that while adults teach children, children often teach us even more — about curiosity, kindness, and joy.As an au pair, my main expectation is to become part of a family who values open communication, kindness, and mutual respect. I hope to join a household where I’m treated not just as help, but as a trusted and caring big sister figure to the children. I’d love to be included in family activities, whether that’s traveling, outdoor adventures, or simply sharing meals together. In return, I’ll always do my best to support your family, bring positivity to your home, and make sure your children feel happy, safe, and understood. We can discuss leaving date etc later on.
