Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family Thank you for taking the time to read through my profile. I am a 26 year old female who is passionate about the education and mentoring of children. I have therefore decided to change my career path and focus on same. I am looking for a family who will accept me as one of their own. A family who is considerate, supportive and understanding. I would appreciate realistic expectations and minimal micro managing as well. I am willing to go over and above for the benefit of the family and help out where I can. I am a considerate and realistic individual who understands that days and trials are not the same. My job is to lighten your load and provide your children with the best possible care, love and attention. I look forward to meeting you. Regards B

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the prefect aupair as I possess the following attributes: *Reliable *Punctual *Fun yet stern *Great communication skills *Good manners and respectful *Flexible *Able to assist with homework, hockey and fitness skills. *Available to babysit on parents event/date nights *Available to assist with planning and setting up your child's birthday party or transport and supervise them at their friend's party. *Adaptable *Time management and house management skills *Responsible *Sensitive *Willing to learn (I.e First aid courses, ADHD courses etc.) *Helpful and trustworthy *I am hands on in everything I do *I connect well with children and build long lasting relationships *Ability to multi task (I.e Aupair, PA, Tutor, Coach) *Open and honest

Hobbies and other interests

I enjoy listening to music and having some alone time. I am an athlete who participates in hockey and athletics events. I am furthermore a certified hockey coach who also enjoys watching soccer and rugby when the opportunity arises. The piano and drums have become a new interest. Hopefully I'll learn how to play them one day. I enjoy amusement and fun parks (P. S I'll probably end up on the jumping castle with the children haha)
