Dear Family,
My name is Linzaile Matroos, I’m a 50-year-old South African woman, a divorcee, and a proud mother to two wonderful adult children — my son is 24 and my daughter is 22. They are both grown and independent now, and I find myself entering a new phase of life — a quiet home, an open heart, and a desire to give my time and care to others.
I am currently working as a manager at an NPO that supports individuals with mental challenges, a role that has taught me deep patience, compassion, and resilience. While this work is incredibly meaningful, I feel called to explore something different before I consider settling into retirement. I would love the opportunity to become a Granny Au Pair or live-in caregiver, offering warmth, experience, and gentle support to a family who needs a mature, reliable presence in their home.
I am:
In excellent health, energetic and emotionally stable
A non-smoker
Naturally nurturing, calm, and responsible
Great with babies and toddlers — they truly have a special place in my heart
Also deeply respectful and caring toward the elderly, should your family need help in that area
Willing to assist with light household duties, meals, or companionship
Although I don’t lead an active social life, I do enjoy simple social moments now and then. I am happiest in a quiet, caring home environment where I can feel part of a family and contribute meaningfully.
I am currently based in South Africa, with my passport ready, and I am looking for a live-in position with a family open to visa sponsorship. I’m especially interested in placements in warm, family-friendly areas like Texas, Florida, or Georgia, but I am open to opportunities elsewhere as well.
If you are seeking a trustworthy, mature woman with a sincere heart, a steady hand, and many years of life and care experience, I would love to connect and see if we are the right fit.
Thank you for considering me.
Warmest regards,
Linzaile Matroos
