Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family, I would describe myself as an open-minded, easy going and fun person with a good moral compass, who's hardworking, ambitious, goal oriented & responsible. Always looking for an opportunity to do better and achieve greatness. I have over 10 years of work experience, but the 5 years I've spent being an au pair was the best experience ever, you get to work and play at the same time.very fulfilling

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am very much interested in becoming an au pair because of my passion for nurturing & loving children. I’ve enjoyed babysitting as a kid growing up hence I pursued this line of work in life as an adult too, and my experience has taught me so much about what it takes to care for kids of different ages. I’m excited to use these skills to help a family who needs extra support.
