Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

I love children and want to do my best to help them develop holistically. I adapt to any environment very easily and can get along with anyone and everyone. I am caring and very patient and can help with anything when it comes to children or housework. I have no limitations to what I can do.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I have a N4 Educare qualification, with 6 months experience of working at a creche. I have also been an au pair in the USA for 3 years. I have taken care of children as young as new born infants and as old as 16 year olds. I have a lot of patience and I am very understanding. I can adapt to any situation and will do my best to sort out any problems that may occur. I can help children with their education/school work, as well as help around the house with housework, such as cleaning, etc. I also have experience with children with special needs.

Hobbies and other interests

I enjoy being active and playing games outside. I love spending time with my family. I enjoy doing arts, craft and puzzles with kids.
