Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family, my name is Sonique. I am passionate about children. I've worked with children from a very young age and have had different au pair jobs with different children. I have a lot of experience with children, including autistic children and children with ADHD.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I incorporate kind but firm guidance and help to children. I keep a balance of schoolwork with fun activities, evaluating the child's needs and adjusting accordingly. I am a caring and honest individual and I am hard working and an upbeat energy that will bring joy to your home.
