Hi! I'm Mieke Olivier (nee Coetzee), founder and owner of the Active Kids brand.

In 2018, I launched Active Kids Sport Academy, offering fun and engaging sports lessons at schools across Gauteng. What started as an extramural activity has grown to include private one-on-one and group coaching sessions, all designed to help children stay active, develop skills, and build confidence.

​

In 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, a few clients approached me to help tutor their children and that’s how Active Kids Tutor & Au Pair Agency was born.

​

My journey in childcare began in 2014, when I started au pairing for a wonderful family with two young girls. Over the past 11 years, I’ve been a consistent part of their lives and as the youngest is now in matric, this marks my final year with them. It’s been a deeply rewarding experience that’s shaped my understanding of what families truly need: reliability, trust, experience, and care.

​

Alongside au pairing, I’ve tutored primary, high school, and special needs learners, giving me firsthand insight into both academic and emotional support.

​

That’s exactly what Active Kids delivers.

Today, our team is made up of 20 passionate, qualified tutors and loads of au pairs who are carefully screened and personally matched to each family. Whether you’re looking for academic support or reliable childcare, we’re here to help make your journey smoother and stress-free.

 

At Active Kids, we pride ourselves on exceptional service, transparent communication, and long-term relationships with our families.

Let’s find the right fit for your family - together.
