Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

I'm a 33 year old mother of two, Outgoing, Energetic lady who loves to see children grow into young adults. I have a great sense of humor, love reading and I love art.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I make sure your child is my first priority. To guide them protect them and love them. To make them believe they can achieve anything in life when they put their minds to it. Encourage them to do so. And just be there not just as a au-pair but as a family member a best friend a helping hand.

Hobbies and other interests

Reading, Art. Family time.

Employer comments

It is with great sadness that we have had to let Nicky go. She was the facilitator to our 6 year old special needs daughter for a year, where she accompanied our child to school each day. Unfortunately the school has a facilitator in the class this year and Nicky's services are no longer required. During the year that Nicky was at school with our daughter we saw a vast improvement in her social skills, her ability to sit for longer periods to finish tasks, gross and fine motor skills development and just overall improvement in all areas. Nicky always showed our child such love and compassion and was always patient and kind. I would highly recommend her as an au pair We are going to miss her immensely.
