As we are all aware, our President addressed the Nation on the 23rd of March 2020 implementing a National Shutdown for three weeks. This is due to commence on the 25th of March 2020 at 00:00

During this time, I am aware that there are a number of Au Pairs, Nannies and Tutors who would be attending face-to-face interviews with various au pair agencies in order to secure employment. However, due to Corona, our movements have been limited.

Au Pair Agencies

At That Sassy Life Coach, we are encouraging all au pair agencies to conduct their interviews over platforms like Skype until the virus is under control

This is to ensure that candidates and the interviewer, are less at risk of contracting the virus as this is a perfect way to implement social distancing

Safety Measures

• Au Pair Agencies usually require you to pay an application fee – please request their banking details. Money is extremely dirty and could open you up to contracting the virus
• Avoid attending interviews in person
• Avoid driving and making use of public transport during this time

Interviews & Covid19

If you are attending interviews with agencies, please ensure the following:

• That you are wearing a mask
• That you take hand sanitizer with you
• Try not to touch too many things at your interview
• Take your own pen to fill out application forms
• Take your own book to press on (if you need)
• Take your own notebook to take notes
• Take your own water or preferred drink
• Please don’t shake hands
• Please keep your distance

Automatic Interviews

If you would like to get an automatic and preferential interview, please note we have partnered with various Au Pair Agencies around South Africa to help candidates get placed faster

Simply complete one of our online courses to qualify for your automatic interview.

Other things to note:

• You need to be 18 years + to be an au pair
