Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Greetings Um keen to be considered for the available position kindly view my Au Pair Profile number 164154 This is regarding the Au Pair job posting listed on the online job portal. With an experience 2 years working with kids of all ages, I am confident that I possess all the necessary skills to work with you. It will be a wonderful opportunity for me to grow both personally and professionally. I am fluent in English and four other south African languages which makes it easier for me to adapt to your lifestyle and needs. I found your requests for an Au Pair matching with my interests. And it will be a fulfilling experience for me to take care of your children for the next year. I have experience of 2 years and was tasked with the following responsibilities: Washing and ironing children’s clothes. Helping the children complete their homework and assignments. Occasionally taking the children to the doctors. Providing care to a child when they are sick or upset. Tidying up the children’s room. Reading stories to the children. Helping out the parents in maintaining the house by dusting, vacuuming, etc. Driving the children to the park, swimming classes, and library. Picking up after the children have finished playing. Over the years I have developed multiple skills and abilities to help me perform my duties as an Au Pair. I have learned to be calm under stressful situations because with kids you don’t know when something comes up. I have actively taken part in sports activities since schooling, this has allowed me to be a good team player. The above skills helped me become the professional that I am today, and an opportunity to work with your family will help me improve furthermore as an Au Pair. Thank you for your time and consideration. Looking forward to discussing more my experience and working with your family. Sincerely, Thandeka M

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I believe I would be good asset for your home and change your home atmosphere.
