Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, Thank you for taking the time to read through my profile. I am a friendly person, and always try to be optimistic. I have lots of patient especially when it comes to children. I have been taking care of children since 2009. I am all my friend's children's favourite aunty. I am respectful of the manner in each family raises their kids and communicate well when needed. I sometimes to play silly to makes the kids smile. I am good at creating a somewhat stable routine and maintaining with a little bit of spontaneity, a balance I have found works well for children. I have dated my start date as the 1st of December, however this can be adjusted. I really hope you consider me and look forward to hearing from you.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make a great au pair, as I have 4 years of au pair experience and have built great relationships with my previous host families. I am currently an au pair as well. I remain in touch with the families and visit when and if am able to. I have Early Child Care teaching experience and currently managing and teaching at a school. I have used my teaching experience to help prepare my host kids for school. My schedule is flexible if need be.

Hobbies and other interests

Art, hiking, knitting, listening to different genres of music, reading, traveling, watching movie.

Employer comments

hands down, Candice is one of the best child caregivers we have ever had. Loving, attentive, kind and hardworking are a few of the attributes she has. When it came to the day to day activities for the children, she was incredibly organized and meticulous, while always leaving room for flexibility. This allowed the children to have the structure to really thrive and flourish into the kids they are today. Any family will be extremely lucky to have Candice care for their children.

Employer comments

I’ve worked with Candice for a very long time and one thing I can’t say is that she is so passionate about kids. She will go above and beyond for them and her lessons. She works really hard. She gets things done. Anyone of the teachers or parents could go to her for help with anything and she would make time to help. She’s driven, loyal, kind, honest and caring.
