Hello from the city of gold Johannesburg . My name is Lungile . I am 21 years old , born and raised in Johannesburg , South Africa . I am the second of four kids. I was raised by my mother ( Vanessa Malinga ) and Grandmother ( Sibongile Malinga ) in little Suburban house in Fox Street. My mom passed 2 years ago in June and now we have our Grandmother whose a pensioner looking out for us though I believe our mom is the brightest star in sky . I have 2 sisters and one brother . My older adopted sister ( Hlengiwe Nxumalo 24 ) my ride or fly is a student at CJC college finishing her last year in business management and she our choir master ( sings like an angel). My younger brother ( Sabelo Malinga 18 ) my personal bodyguard , is a high school student doing grade 10 . And last but not least the baby of the house ( Khanyisile Malinga 16 ) my singer, is also a high school student doing grade 11 . Now that you’ve met my family , you will learn and see how they are my biggest supporters and how much I value family as we get to know one other . According to my family I was always a bookworm from John Mitchell Primary School to Queens High School where I attended and completed my matric in 2021, you could never catch me without a book or as they would say my nose stuck in a book . As I am now unemployed I have big sister duties ( or as I like to say my sibling’s personal cook and maid ) which I don’t mind as it is a way for me to show them love and care without being the breadwinner . My Day start at six am everyday to prepare breakfast for my grandmother and a three year old boy ( Phila Maviembla) he’s a kid I babysit throughout the whole week and goes home on the weekends. After breakfast it’s chores time. I live in a normal family house of 4 bedrooms , dinning room , lounge . I clean , sweep and mop every room and if I have time before my siblings get home , I sweep the yard all around and when done I cook dinner and my day ends at nine pm . By now you have figured out I absolutely love reading and my family so my hobbies consists of both of those things . When I am not reading a book , I am with my family singing , play cards or playing practical jokes on each other . I love watching movies . Disney Marathons are a tradition in my family . We love being Part of that world . I am loud when comfortable . I love a good joke though I can’t tell a joke to save my own life ( seriously need to up my joke game ) . Laughing , smiling and food make my day you can never go wrong with that combo . I cook to survive but I would absolutely appreciate and love a chance to learn and polish my cooking skills. It’s one of my interests. After high school I got an opportunity , an internship at metal firm and work for a year which quickly made me realize that corporate work was definitely not for me and after that year I left . Babysitting was always fun . I love the creativeness, the unlimited imagination 3-5 years old kids I babysit had . The laughter and warm hugs when they were leaving for the day and I started volunteering at a local kindergarten and the principal loved my energy and I got hired from 2023 to 2024 and I absolutely loved and enjoyed my work time there . My Day started at 5 to get ready and had to be at work at seven am . Eight am is breakfast until eight thirty . Thirty minutes for the loo and at nine am to ten is creative writing , painting or drawing . Thirty minutes of snack time and it’s back to work at eleven am with reading and theme song of the week . At twelve noon it’s lunch time and at one pm it a 90 minutes napping time . From Two pm to two thirty I wash their faces and get them ready to go home . Three pm to five pm it’s free play while waiting for their parents to pick them up and once they have left at five thirty I clean the classroom for the next day and my day ends at six pm . And on repeat . Now that I have left the kindergarten due to personal reasons I do miss the kids . In 2022 I had a brief aftercare job and I had to help with homework , monitoring study time and creating crafts to keep the 6-9 years old kids I looked after until their parents come got them . I had always loved going to school but I was a nanny to 2 months baby boy and had never had the time to apply . I will however would like to go back to school to get my teaching degree after my year aboard and teach at a high school for a few years then travel again . Learning new things , foods and culture is always a good thing but know the history of such a beautiful country is a bonus . Gaining child care experiences and the knowledge of different parenting skills and techniques and to know how to apply myself and adjust out of my comfort zone , out of South Africa , a place I call home, will give unlimited opportunities I would love to create lifetime connections , friendships and family . A home away from home . I would be a friend and sister but above all the best au pair . As I have mentioned , in a year I am back at Home and getting my dream . Finishing my degree in Teaching and being the best version of Dani I can be . Still laughing , still smile and still a foodie hopefully this time I am an excellent cook . Now that you have met me , I can not wait to meet you .
