Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear future host family, What inspired me to become an Au pair was actually my cousins. While growing up being the only big girl in the family I was forced to watch over them from time to time. After a while it was not a punishment anymore because I realized that I am their role model and influence their actions. I absolutely adore babysitting children, they are the best entertainers. They will be your biggest support, you have your own comedian and they will love you regardless. Some skills I have picked up while caring for children is PATIENCE, I can definitely multi task now and I also learned some safety skills. The biggest thing was learning time management. These children live in their own little world and move at their own pace. Should you choose me to be your Au pair, I will look after your children with the utmost care, love and respect. I will try my best to keep the safe always and very important entertained. To conclude my letter I just want to thank you for considering making me your Au pair. I am very excited to meet you and your wonderful family. Best regard, Sonica

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make a great Au pair because I am a lot of patience, I am very responsible and know when to be serious and when to have fun. I absolutely adore children and their safety is always my first priority. The kids will always have the best time.

Hobbies and other interests

I love reading and listening to music. I really enjoy cleaning as weird as it is but my mind feels clear afterwards. I love being outside. I like to watch series but only when it’s raining. One of my passions is baking. I love exploring new things and new places
