Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Being in a position of wanting the best care for your kids but aren't able to do it yourself. Wanting an extension of your own hands but are to busy with work etc. I would love to meet. Or have a special needs child but not sure if any person will be able to have ability and care that you would give yourself. I'm willing to learn and do training if that is a requirement.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I'm a committed person that can adopt to a family of any background and situation. I have experience in the smallest new born baby up to 12year old. Went through all the development stages with them, help creating routine and pottery training, followed stimulating program from 6months - 3yrs, later toddler activities with lost of physical outside play as well as fine motor through art and messy play. Providing not only hands on care, but age appropriate stimulation, food prep, organising extra murals, assist with doctor appointments and any other appointments. Helped with all school subjects and projects. I'm creative and can make things with my hands, this is handy when it comes to school plays speeches etc. Working for a very driven family with high standards on all fronts helped me to do the same. I can be very loving and caring with young kids and have lots of fun games and educational play up my sleeve but can also get things done with older kids that have lot of things on their plate and need to time manage well. I can also manage a household and stuff. Allocate work and keep things running well while parents have busy schedules. I'm safety conscious and always a step ahead of what might happen and might be harmful before we do things. Prior to this I also have experience with special needs, such as cerebral palsy. Helping a very young girl in a wheel chair that have difficulties to do most things. She was able to communicate and learn but with lost of creative methods and lots of patients. I assisted with learning and all other personal care.

Hobbies and other interests

I love exercising and being active. Love hiking and the outdoors.

Employer comments

Adele was an excellent au pair. We, as parents, felt comfortable to leave Danica in Adele's care. Adele even accompanied us on holidays to assist in Danica's full time care, giving us quality time to rest. Adele has a loving personality and even our older daughters looked to her for guidance.
