Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family. My name is Kate, I have worked as an au pair between 2020 and 2022 in California, USA. Working with children is an absolute delight to me as I enjoy helping them learn, develop and grow as best as they can. My experience is not limited to infants but also children between ages 0-15 years as well as children with special needs. I am first aid and CPR qualified. I adapt very well and am always willing to learn. I do great around pets and I am an excellent driver. I have my own car but would be open to being a live in au pair. I can’t wait to meet you and work with you.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect au pair because I'm very compassionate. I listen with enthusiasm and always let people know that they have a friend in me. I'm a very dynamic young woman. I have been taking care of and staying with my little brother who is 6 years old and I have experience as an au pair in the United States. I enjoy the fact that children are very smart and absorb easily especially when they are happy children. Also, I appreciate the fact that they are who we are and they are a product of their surrounding which is vital that I create a happy and exciting one for them.

Hobbies and other interests

As much as I am a law student, I have a very strong admiration of art. I visit museums every now and then. I have also been an actress, I love being both in front and behind the camera. Another thing that I enjoy to do is spending time swimming, going to the movies, taking walks or spend time doing arts and crafts.

Employer comments

We absolutely adored Kate and consider her a family member. Her devotion to Carter's care, support for our household and participating in our family was life changing for us - and we hope for her! She is communicative, professional and incredibly responsible. I would highly recommend her and wish that we could have her back!
