Description of tutoring experience

I truly had a fantastic experience throughout my year of tutoring, meeting plenty of different families and working with so many different and amazing kids really helped me grow my tutoring and people skills. My favourite part was seeing the excitement of the kids realizing that they are improving and getting the marks they know they can achieve just with an extra push and a bit of help.

Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, I understand that this is probably a stressful time for you seeing as though youre Here looking for a little help, well, they don’t call me Dani Help M for nothing! I’m kidding—but I can’t kid about the fact that I do pride myself in my au pair skills and work ethic. After racking up 2+ years in experience with tutoring and au pair work, I feel I am a suitable candidate for most positions and would feel honoured if you were to consider me to work with you and your kids.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect au pair because even though I am 21, I still feel 10 years old at heart. After my previous experience with au pairing, I have learnt a lot about children and the way their minds work, and it has helped me learn to slow down in life and see the way the world works through a child’s mind, which, in my own opinion, is one of the best ways to view this crazy world we live in. Rest assured, even though I like to channel my inner child when I’m with the kiddos, I really place importance on time management, responsibility, organisational skills, communication, trust and quick thinking. I also think I would make a great au pair because I love baking and no kid I have ever au paired has said no to cupcakes.

Hobbies and other interests

I love rollercoasters and consider myself a coffee fanatic, I am extremely passionate about animals and often volunteer at organisations such as WetNose and Wollies, I love painting, colouring, drawing and pretty much anything creative and requiring glitter. I love talking about TV shows and movies—anything of the RomCom genre I have probably watched and cried to. My favourite ice cream flavour is banana split but I can settle for chocolate too. If I were to go any place in the world, I would go back to France and eat a pain au chocolat straight from the oven.
