Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile. I am a qualified Montessori educator and have been teaching for the past 6 years. I am looking to move out of the classroom environment but remain working with and developing children. I am a kind, friendly, energetic and down to earth person with a great sense of humour.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I have been working with children in various childcare roles for most of my life, from babysitting as a teenager, to au pairing in the USA and into teaching in the classroom. I have taught children from ages 3 - 9 years covering all academic subjects and teaching emotional & social development. I enjoy working with children, in relational, playful and educational roles and connect easily with them. I am gentle yet remain firm and respectful in my dealing with children and understand their point of view, way of thinking and needs.

Hobbies and other interests

I love life and all the experiences, opportunities, joys and challenges it brings. I enjoy creativity - painting, singing, music, dancing, drama, photography, baking, cooking and trying anything at least once.
