Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, my name is Alvernia M and I am a motivated and detail-oriented individual offering a deep passion for kids and strong attention to safety. I possess excellent communication and organizational skills. On top of my key qualities, I worked as an Au Pair for more than one year, working with a little beautiful girl who has Down Syndrome. My main duty and work responsibility was to provide high-quality physical and emotional care and assistance, I: Prepared and served daily meals, maintained household and keep child's room clean. and developed and provided a safe and secure environment. Played with the child, assisted with behavioural and cognitive development as well as physical development. I worked closely and communicated with parents to ensure that their needs were met. Coordinated various activities, resolved any problematic issues, and assisted child in the development of fundamental learning skills according to her pace and development. Performed multiple other duties as required by parents. This experience has helped me to develop multiple important abilities required to successfully execute the job.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am confident that I not only possess everything necessary for the role but also believe that it would be a great opportunity for me to further grow both personally and professionally. Working as an Au Pair has humbled me, I am grateful for the opportunities to help children in all aspects of their lives. I learned how to remain calm in stressful situations but I also significantly improved my time management skills and acquired the ability to lead and coordinate duties and tasks. I am a compassionate, honest person who has integrity and respect. Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
