  Description

  We are a husband and wife, with a 2 year old daughter, looking for someone to look after our daughter during working hours from Monday to Friday. My wife is a ballerina, and I am an MD of a company that is working out of Cape Town, but travelling between Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Durban regularly. We have been together for 12 years, married for 5 years. Sienna is two and going to school 3-5 days a week between 8 and 12pm. We are looking for someone to be able to pick her up from School which is 5 minutes from home, and spend the day with here until approx 5pm. We have a 3 bedroom house in Sunningdale, Blouberg Cape Town. Five minutes from the beach, 25 minutes to the center of town.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Having being brought up in Cape Town, lived in Johannesburg for four years, and studied in Amsterdam for 10 years, we understand the importance of experiencing different cultures. My wife is a principal ballerina at Cape Town City Ballet, and I am a Market lead for a Cape Town based company. We are South African at heart and have loved to travel. We like to mentor young people and provide a safe place for travellers to explore Cape Town.
