Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family I am Kristen-Leigh I am the eldest in my family both as a child and grandchild alike. I have been the caretaker and tutor for most of my life. I am patient and understanding and believe that no individual is alike and I adapt to the needs of each individual's requirements. I can be firm when needed but try to take a more calm approach first to form a bond with the child, as I believe it is a lot easier to catch a bear with honey than vinegar. I would be your perfect match as I am both flexible and accommodating. I look forward to meeting you.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I believe that I am a good Aupair as I have the necessary traits required. For instance, being responsible and reliable. I am known for my punctuality, and my ability to follow schedules and constantly ensure the safety and well-being of the children. My experience with Au-pairing assists me in helping to understand children’s needs and behaviour management techniques as well as being able to engage them in activities. Through my experience, I have learned that working with children can be unpredictable, so having patience and flexibility is essential. I can handle challenging situations calmly and adapt to changes in plans, demonstrating my resilience and maturity. I strongly believe adaptability is one of my strongest traits - being able to adapt to new environments, customs, and routines is important for successfully integrating into a family and your children’s lives. Lastly, I feel that a positive attitude is crucial for this role. Approaching this role with enthusiasm, positivity, and a genuine love for children can make a significant difference in the experience and the relationships you build with the children.
