"Dear Family" message

Dear Family I am a professional lady who has a very good background in child minding and also good understanding of children’s behavior. I am very loving, open and honest. I do not have mood swings I'm lovable and also loving. I am open to ideas and suggestions, I like being corrected when I don’t do right. I have a broad experience of human behaviors since I worked in the department of health sector and working with a vulnerable community taught me a lot.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make a good Au pair because of my skills coupled with my experience in the industry, I am fully aware of confidentiality issues and also respect other people. I raised my 3 children as well that alone makes me incredible😃😃
