Hlengiwe, 30

Work Experience

Hello! I'm Hlengiwe, and I'm genuinely passionate about caring for children. I've spent two years working at a local crèche where I looked after up to 20 children ranging from infants to 10 years old, so I'm comfortable with different ages and their unique needs. I've also cared for my neighbour's teenage son after school, which has given me experience working with older children too. I'm a gentle and patient person who believes in being a responsible role model, not just a babysitter. I value nurturing each child's growth, staying adaptable to their needs, and bringing responsibility to everything I do. I'm genuinely trustworthy and love building meaningful connections with the families I work with. Beyond childcare, I'm an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys reading and listening to music – things I'd love to share with the children in my care. I speak English, Zulu, and Xhosa, and I'm really excited about cultural exchange and learning from different families. I'm available to start full-time from March 2026 and hold a Police Clearance. I'm ready to bring warmth, dedication, and genuine care to your family.
