Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Hello family, my name is Cathy and I have a passion for kids, I am very friendly, very patient and hard-working.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

Growing up in a big family and taking care of my three younger siblings I discovered my love for kids, when I graduated from high school I decided to go to the United State of America and become an au pair. I have the experience needed, a very patient individual and I love children

Employer comments

Cathy is responsible, fun, caring, and a dedicated employee. However, she was far more than our "Aupair" or "Employee". She was a member of our family. Our children excelled in school while she was with us and they were always happy. She is a great driver and did more more than just her "job". If Cathy would have stayed with our family for 5 years we would have welcomed that with open arms. Last but not least, she was wonderful with our puppy, Louie.
