Experienced Au Pair and hospitality worker with strong communication, planning, and time-management skills.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated Au Pair and hospitality professional with experience as an Au Pair in America (2019 May–2021 December) and earlier roles as a Waitress (2015–2016) and Cashier (2014). I bring a calm, responsible approach to day-to-day work and a strong ability to adapt.
I’ve built my strengths around clear communication, multitasking, and delivering results. I’m confident in my ability to plan, execute and deliver, use my time wisely and effectively, and turn correction and criticism into a way of growing and becoming a better version of myself.
To support my future career growth, I completed a Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) in 2020, along with a Diploma in Marketing and a Certificate in Computer Literacy (2016–2019). I’m motivated by roles where I can contribute, learn, and perform consistently.
