Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family my name is Tihana I'm 24 years old.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I love how you can build trust with children. First, they are a bit wary of a stranger, later you break through a wall and the next thing you know, they are excited to see you! The big smiles you get and hugs that gets passed out gives a feeling almost beyond explaining. Love and attention are what they need, and the feeling of pride and satisfaction is immeasurable when they finally succeed in something they were battling with, like potty training or pronunciation. As one grows older, one tends to lose that ahhh feeling, or excitement when finally getting something right. When working with children, one experiences it daily through them. If you want your child to be loved and appreciated for who and what they are, then I'll be the perfect Au pair for you! I can't wait to start my journey with your family.

Hobbies and other interests

I love to color, read, play board games, watch movies and explore
