About the Family & Role

Our Hout Bay family clients are an international family who have been living in Cape Town since mid-2025.

Although the family has five children, the au pair will primarily be responsible for three of them — two girls aged 8 and 13 and their 10-year-old brother. All three attend the same school in Hout Bay.

The family is seeking an educated, intelligent and responsible au pair with an excellent command of English, as the children speak another language at home but have been educated in English from a young age.

The position involves managing busy afternoon routines, including school collections, extra-mural activities, homework support, meal preparation and engaging with the children.

The older children will require assistance with studying and test preparation, while the younger children will benefit from a balance of homework guidance, fun activities and outdoor play.

The family would particularly value someone who is active, organised and confident enough to take initiative, while developing a warm and positive connection with the children.

This is a lovely opportunity for a university-educated au pair who enjoys a busy family environment and can combine responsibility, academic support and fun.

Main Responsibilities

• Collect the children from school in Hout Bay and transport them safely home or to extra-mural and sporting activities.

• Coordinate different collection times, lessons and afternoon commitments.

• Prepare or cook meals for the children and ensure they have lunch, snacks and dinner as required.

• Supervise and assist with homework according to each child's age and individual needs.

• Assist the older children with studying, test preparation and examinations.

• Encourage good study habits, organisation and age-appropriate independence.

• Engage the children in games, creative activities and quality time together.

• Encourage outdoor play, physical activity and walks in the neighbourhood.

• Assist with occasional family-related errands, including shopping for the children's needs, clothing and birthday gifts.

• Help arrange playdates when requested.

• Ensure school bags, sporting equipment and other necessities are organised for the following school day.

• During school holidays, plan interesting activities, outings and excursions around Cape Town.

• Maintain regular communication with the parents regarding the children's activities, routines and general well-being.

About the Family & Role

Our City Bowl family clients are looking for an educated, academically capable and engaging afternoon au pair to support their two children, an 11-year-old boy and his 14-year-old sister.

With both children approaching or already navigating their teenage years, the family would particularly value someone who can build a warm, comfortable relationship with them while providing the structure and guidance needed to manage their increasingly demanding school schedules.

Academic support is an important part of this position. The ideal candidate will be confident assisting with homework, assignments, projects and preparation for tests, while encouraging the children to develop effective study habits, time management skills and increasing independence.

The parents are not simply looking for someone to oversee homework. They would appreciate an au pair who takes a genuine interest in the children's academic progress, recognises when they may need additional guidance and helps them stay organised and motivated.

Equally important is finding someone with a fun, approachable personality who enjoys engaging with older children and teenagers. At these ages, building a positive relationship involves understanding their developing independence, respecting their individuality and being someone they feel comfortable communicating with.

Afternoons will involve school collections, transport to extra-mural activities, homework support and ensuring that the children have a healthy balance between school responsibilities, activities and time to relax.

The family is looking for someone who can combine academic confidence and good organisational skills with warmth, humour and an easy-going, engaging manner.

This is an ideal opportunity for an educated au pair who enjoys working with preteens and teenagers and can be both a positive role model and a dependable source of academic and practical support.

Main Responsibilities

• Collect the children from school as required and transport them home or to their extra-mural activities.

• Provide homework support appropriate to the children's respective school grades and academic requirements.

• Assist with school projects, assignments and preparation for tests and assessments.

• Help the children plan their academic workload and keep track of important deadlines.

• Encourage effective study habits, time management and increasing independence.

• Identify areas where additional academic support or revision may be beneficial.

• Transport the children to sporting commitments and other extra-mural activities.

• Provide afternoon snacks and refreshments as required.

• Encourage a balance between academic responsibilities, extra-mural commitments and downtime.

• Engage positively with both children, taking an interest in their activities, interests and daily experiences.

• Help the children maintain their school and extra-mural schedules.

• Ensure school bags, sports equipment and other necessities are organised for the following day.

• Encourage responsibility and independence appropriate to their ages.

• Maintain regular communication with the parents regarding academic progress, schedules and general well-being.

Specific Requirements for this Position

• Suitably educated, academically capable and experienced in teaching or tutoring high school learners.

• A sound understanding of the Grade 12 curriculum, particularly Mathematical Literacy, English, Life Orientation, Tourism and Hospitality.

• Experience working with learners with additional educational support needs, neurodivergence or developmental differences would be a strong advantage.

• Patient, compassionate, encouraging and genuinely passionate about individualised education.

• Able to adapt teaching methods to accommodate different learning styles, processing abilities and developmental needs.

• Confident supporting a learner with developmental dyspraxia, attention difficulties (ADD) and auditory processing challenges.

• Technologically confident and capable of managing an online educational platform.

• Highly organised, with the ability to manage lesson schedules, assignments, projects, assessments and submission deadlines.

• Able to work independently while maintaining effective communication with the online school and parents.

• Reliable, consistent and able to establish a warm, trusting and supportive relationship with the student.

About the Family & Role

Our Oranjezicht/ City Bowl family clients are looking for a dedicated, compassionate and academically capable home-school teacher to provide individualised educational support to their 17-year-old daughter, who will be completing Grade 12 through an online learning program. There is another family with their 17yr old son who is also following the same program, and they have worked together for the last 2 years. They are following the same path with the Oranjezicht family.

They are working towards an endorsed matric, following a CAPS-aligned curriculum that includes Mathematical Literacy, English, Life Orientation, Tourism and Hospitality.

All educational content, learning materials and the syllabus are provided through the online schooling platform. The teacher or tutor will therefore not be expected to develop a curriculum from scratch, but will need to confidently teach, explain and guide the student through the various subjects, lessons, assignments and assessments.

An important aspect of this position is the ability to manage the online educational platform effectively. This includes ensuring that lessons and assessments are completed on schedule, work is correctly submitted and uploaded, and ongoing communication with the online school is maintained.

The female student has developmental dyspraxia, ADD and auditory processing difficulties, which can affect aspects of her learning, concentration and information processing. She has also experienced some speech delays, although her communication has improved significantly as she has grown.

While she is 17 years old, some aspects of her social and developmental presentation are more typical of a younger teenager. She is described as a kind, gentle and sociable young person who enjoys interacting with others and does not present with behavioural challenges.

The family is looking for someone who will recognise and respect her individuality, understand her learning needs and create an encouraging, patient and supportive educational environment.

The ideal candidate will be able to balance academic expectations with flexibility, understanding when to adapt the pace of learning, revisit concepts or provide additional guidance.

This is a particularly rewarding opportunity for an educator who enjoys one-on-one type teaching and has a genuine interest in helping young people with individualised learning needs develop their confidence, independence and academic abilities.

The students attend a small, informal learning environment in the City Bowl area, with the other learner.

The successful candidate will collect them from the 17yr olds girls home each morning and accompany them to this learning space, where they will follow a structured school-day routine incorporating lessons, assignments, breaks and other educational activities.

Main Responsibilities

• Collect the students as above each morning and transport them to the designated learning venue.

• Provide individualised, face-to-face teaching and tutoring across their Grade 12 subjects.

• Work through the supplied CAPS-aligned curriculum, lesson content and educational materials.

• Explain concepts clearly and adapt teaching methods to accommodate her individual learning and processing needs.

• Support the completion of assignments, projects, assessments and other academic requirements.

• Establish and maintain a structured daily school routine, including appropriate lesson periods and breaks.

• Manage the online learning platform, ensuring that all required work is completed, submitted and uploaded accurately and on time.

• Monitor academic progress and keep track of deadlines, outstanding tasks and upcoming assessments.

• Maintain regular communication with the online school regarding academic expectations, submissions and progress.

• Liaise with the parents regarding the student's learning, development, achievements and areas requiring additional support.

• Encourage confidence, independence and a positive attitude towards learning.

• Provide a calm, compassionate and consistent educational environment that respects the student's individual abilities and developmental needs.

About the Family & Role

Our Meadowridge family clients are looking for a suitably qualified, educated and enthusiastic au pair to care for their two young daughters, aged 6 and 2.

Both girls attend the same school in the mornings, and the family is looking for someone who will take over their care in the afternoons, providing a warm, stimulating and well-structured environment until the parents return home.

A teaching qualification is an essential requirement for this position, as the parents would particularly value someone who understands early childhood development and enjoys actively engaging children through creative play, educational activities and age-appropriate learning experiences.

The family would love an au pair who takes initiative in planning the children's afternoons rather than simply supervising them. This could include preparing activities around weekly themes, encouraging imaginative play, supporting early learning and providing meaningful stimulation, particularly for the younger child.

The older daughter will also need some assistance with homework and school-related activities.

The ideal candidate will be someone who is energetic and nurturing, but also organised and confident in managing the practical routines of a busy family with two young children.

An important aspect of this position is flexibility. Although the regular school-term hours are 12pm–6pm, the family is offering a flexible 40-hour working week to accommodate additional childcare requirements. This will include babysitting approximately two to three times a month, usually on a Friday or Saturday evening, as well as occasional weekend stayovers when the parents travel without the children.

During school holidays, the working hours will generally be 8am–5pm.

The family is therefore looking for someone who is comfortable with this flexibility and would enjoy becoming a trusted and dependable part of their children's daily lives.

Main Responsibilities

• Collect both children from their school.

• Prepare and serve lunch for the children.

• Plan and engage in stimulating, age-appropriate indoor and outdoor activities.

• Introduce creative and educational themes, particularly for the younger child.

• Encourage imaginative play, learning and development through meaningful interaction.

• Assist the older daughter with homework and school-related activities.

• Transport the children to their extra-mural activities.

• Prepare snacks and refreshments for the children throughout the afternoon.

• Prepare and serve the children's dinner.

• Assist with bath time and the early evening routine before handing over to Mom or Dad.

• Prepare school bags, extra-mural equipment and other necessities for the following day.

• Keep the children's bedrooms, play areas and belongings clean, tidy and organised.

• Assist with evening babysitting approximately 2–3 times a month, usually on a Friday or Saturday.

•   Be available for occasional weekend stayovers when the parents are away, by prior arrangement.

• Accommodate the family's flexible working-hour requirements within the agreed employment arrangements.

Specific requirements for this position

This is a very particular role and would suit an experienced au pair who genuinely enjoys travel, variety, young children and a highly flexible lifestyle.

The successful candidate must:

• Have strong previous au pair experience with excellent, contactable references.

• Be energetic and physically able to keep up with a very active toddler.

• Be comfortable travelling frequently, both locally and internationally.

• Be available for occasional short notice travel and extended periods away from Cape Town.

• Have personal commitments that will allow for this level of travel flexibility.

• Hold a valid passport and be able to travel internationally.

• Have a valid driver's licence and be a confident, experienced and safety-conscious driver.

• Be comfortable travelling in small aircraft and helicopters.

• Be confident around farms, wildlife environments and safari travel.

• Be able to prepare healthy meals and snacks for a young child.

• Be first aid trained, or willing to obtain appropriate first-aid training.

• Be exceptionally safety-conscious, particularly around water, vehicles, animals and outdoor environments.

About the Family & Role

Our Constantia family clients are looking for an experienced, energetic and highly adaptable au pair for their very happy, sociable and busy 19-month-old son.

He loves being outdoors, exploring his surroundings and being active, so the family is looking for someone who genuinely enjoys engaging with a young child while also allowing him the space to explore, play independently and develop confidence.

This is not a conventional Monday-to-Friday au pair position.

The family travels extensively and divides much of their time between Cape Town, Stellenbosch and destinations throughout South Africa and abroad. Their travel may include safari destinations elsewhere in Africa, the Garden Route, Eastern Cape, Europe and the United Kingdom.

The au pair will travel with the family and become an important part of maintaining consistency, routine and security for the child wherever they happen to be.

At times, the parents also travel without their child and may require the au pair to remain with him at home. These periods would generally not exceed approximately nine nights.

The family is looking for someone who will embrace this lifestyle rather than simply tolerate the travelling aspect of the position.

The Ideal Candidate

The family would particularly value someone who is:

• Honest, genuine and trustworthy.

• Warm, caring and intuitive.

• Fun, energetic and enthusiastic.

• Flexible and highly adaptable.

• Calm under pressure.

• Reliable and committed.

• Patient and kind.

• Organised and proactive.

• An excellent communicator.

• Safety-conscious and observant.

• Comfortable following clear parental boundaries and guidelines.

• Able to use initiative while still communicating closely with the parents.

• Interested in reading, education and age-appropriate child development.

• Someone who genuinely loves being an au pair.

Main Responsibilities

The au pair will take responsibility for the child's daily care and organisation, including:

• Provide warm, attentive and age-appropriate care.

• Create a safe and emotionally secure environment.

• Engage in age-appropriate play, reading and educational activities.

• Encourage outdoor exploration and active play.

• Support independent play and allow appropriate periods where the child can explore and entertain himself without constant adult intervention.

• Plan playdates, outings and activities in consultation with Mom.

• Prepare meals and snacks.

• Keep the child's cupboards, playroom, pram and belongings organised.

• Maintain lists of items and supplies needed for the child.

• Establish good hygiene routines.

• Help the child participate in simple age-appropriate daily responsibilities and routines.

• Communicate openly with the parents about the child's day, behaviour, development and any concerns.

• Follow the family's agreed routines, boundaries and parenting approach.

• Identify potential hazards and take appropriate steps to keep the child safe.

• Remain particularly vigilant around swimming pools, baths, dams and all bodies of water.

• Follow safety procedures while travelling, on safari and when spending time on the family farm.

• Prepare and organise everything needed when travelling with the child.

Travel & Lifestyle

Frequent travel is a fundamental part of this position.

The family may spend several days each week in Stellenbosch as they begin developing their farm, as well as travelling regularly elsewhere in South Africa and internationally – even for a few months.

The au pair needs to be comfortable with:

• Frequent changes of environment.

• Packing and organising for a young child.

• Last-minute changes to travel plans.

• Extended periods away from Cape Town.

• Safari and farm environments.

• Small aircraft and helicopter travel.

• Working more intensively during certain travel periods.

When travelling with the family, suitable accommodation will be provided for the au pair.

About the Family & Role

Our Tokai family clients are looking for an educated au pair to support their two young children, aged 5 and 2½.

The family has experienced quite a bit of change over the past year, having relocated to Cape Town from England, and they are also expecting a new baby in March 2027.

The parents are therefore looking for someone who can bring consistency, warmth and structure to the children’s daily lives, while helping them feel secure, stimulated and well cared for both practically and emotionally.

For now, the role will focus on the two older children. There may be a possibility in the future that the au pair will also assist with the baby as the child grows, but this is not the immediate focus of the position.

The family would particularly value an au pair who enjoys planning ahead and creating a weekly rhythm for the children, including educational activities, themes, outings and playdates.

Main Responsibilities

• Collect the children from their nearby school on some days, or meet them at home.

• Transport them to extra-mural activities.

• Assist with and supervise the 5-year-old’s homework.

• Plan and engage in stimulating indoor and outdoor activities.

• Keep play areas tidy and organised.

• Prepare school bags, extra-mural items and everything needed for the following day.

• Assist with occasional babysitting or weekend work by prior arrangement.

About the Family & Role

Our Rondebosch family clients are both professionals with demanding careers, while also being very involved and hands-on parents.

They are looking for a mature, educated, dedicated and experienced au pair who sees this as a long-term opportunity and would like to become an important part of their family support team.

Their eldest daughter, aged 6, is a wheelchair user and requires additional physical and developmental support. Their younger daughter is 4, and a baby boy is due in December.

The parents have worked hard to create a loving, calm and secure home and are looking for someone who can work alongside them in helping all three children develop and thrive within that environment.

Their ideal au pair will be grounded, respectful of individual differences and aligned with their calm, consistent and age-appropriate approach to parenting.

If the successful candidate chooses the live-in option, she will have a separate, fully equipped flatlet, allowing her privacy and her own space outside working hours.

The Ideal Candidate

The family would particularly value someone who is:

• Warm, loving and calm.

• Emotionally mature and dependable.

• Well-spoken with strong English communication skills.

• Attentive and sensitive to individual children's needs.

• Detail-orientated and organised.

• Comfortable taking ownership of agreed routines without needing constant supervision.

• Able to accept guidance from parents and follow recommendations from therapists or other professionals where relevant.

• Passionate about supporting children at different ages and developmental stages.

• Patient and willing to learn new approaches to childcare and specialised support.

• Confident enough to take initiative, while respecting the family's established boundaries and parenting approach.

Main Responsibilities

The primary responsibility will be to provide safe, loving and attentive support to the 6-year-old while helping maintain stable routines for the 4-year-old and gradually assisting with the new baby as required.

Responsibilities will include:

• Provide daily support appropriate to the 6-year-old's physical and developmental needs.

• Ensure she is meaningfully engaged, included and supported throughout the day.

• Manage the girls' school, therapy, activity and transport schedules.

• Take ownership of agreed childcare routines without requiring constant supervision.

• Help maintain stability and individual attention for the two older children during the family's transition to having a newborn.

• Prepare simple, healthy meals and snacks.

• Supervise safe, age-appropriate play.

• Encourage drawing, imaginative play, outdoor activities and other constructive interests.

• Assist with bathing, dressing and bedtime preparation when required.

• Prepare school clothing, bags, lunchbox items and other requirements for the following day.

• Notice what needs attention and communicate clearly with the parents.

• Work responsibly and independently within agreed boundaries.

Supporting the New Baby

Mom will be home for approximately the first three months following the baby's birth, and the baby may later attend crèche.

As the position develops, the au pair may gradually provide agreed support with the baby while continuing to ensure that the two older children receive the attention and stability they need.

This may include:

• Settling, feeding and caring for the baby for agreed periods.

• Preparing bottles and sterilising feeding equipment.

• Assisting with bathing once trained and comfortable.

• Keeping changing, feeding and sleeping areas organised.

• Packing and maintaining the nappy bag.

• Accompanying the baby or family to appointments when requested.

• Caring for the baby while the parents rest, work or spend individual time with the older children.

Their son has epilepsy and requires an attentive and responsible caregiver who can recognise and respond appropriately should a seizure occur. Previous experience with epilepsy would be an advantage, although the family would also consider a suitably experienced candidate who is willing to learn and follow the child's specific care and emergency procedures.

The 7-year-old also requires some additional tutoring and educational support with his schoolwork, particularly within the Foundation Phase curriculum. The family would therefore value someone who enjoys teaching young children and can provide patient, encouraging and individualised learning support.

Beyond the educational and medical considerations, the parents are looking for an au pair who will build a warm and trusting relationship with both children, engaging them in creative and imaginative play while providing a calm, nurturing and structured environment.

The position is initially for three afternoons a week, although the family is open to extending this to five afternoons for the right candidate.

Main Responsibilities

·       Arrive at the family home at 1pm or collect one or both children from school, depending on the day's arrangements.

·       Attend to the children's general care, well-being and safety.

·       Provide individualised tutoring and educational support to the 7-year-old, particularly with his Foundation Phase schoolwork.

·       Be attentive to the son's epilepsy and follow the family's agreed seizure management and emergency procedures.

·       Spend quality time engaging both children in imaginative and creative play.

·       Plan and participate in age-appropriate activities at home.

·       Accompany the children on walks and to extra-mural and sporting activities.

·       Prepare meals and snacks for the children.
