Gertrude J., 49

Work Experience

Hello! I'm Gertrude, and I'm excited to join a family as an au pair. With over 10 years of experience in both daycare centers and home care settings, I've developed a deep passion for working with children and supporting families. I'm a patient and humble person who believes that every child deserves attentive, caring support as they grow and learn. What drives me is going the extra mile—whether that's helping with homework, preparing meals, or simply being present during the everyday moments that matter most. I'm First Aid qualified, which gives families peace of mind, and I'm fluent in both English and Afrikaans, making communication easy and seamless. I'm available full-time from October 31st, 2026, and I'm based in Cape Town. I'm genuinely looking forward to becoming part of a family, building meaningful relationships, and making a positive difference in the lives of the children I care for. If you're seeking someone reliable, caring, and committed, I'd love to hear from you!
