Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family I have a great passion for children, I would say I am very patient and always up for challenges. I was being an aupair in Massachusetts, USA and the year before I was an au pair in Washington State and British Columbia, Canada. My first year as an aupair I looked after 3 year old twins and in my second year I looked after a 9 year old boy and 14 year old girl. Very different but I loved it! This made me know that I 100% wanted to be a teacher. So now currently I am studying through NWU to get my BED in Foundation Phase. Being an au pair in the States has definitely opened my eyes to new things and experiences, it is something that has helped me grow as a person. As someone with a few years of experience with children under my belt, I understand the importance of creating a challenging, fun, and safe environment for children. I take pride in getting to know children on a personal level to better understand their needs and make a strong bond with them. Thank you for your consideration. I'm looking forward to learning more details about this position you have available. I am able to send you my CV and a few references if interested.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect aupair because I have sent time with all ages of children. I’ve helped out at my church at their holiday clubs and junior youths, as well as coaching swimming since 2017. I am very creative person and love doing crafts but I am also sporty and love the out doors.

Hobbies and other interests

I love reading and take pride in my little home library. I also love hiking- I’d do anything for a killer view. I love playing boardgames and tend to be a little too competitive.
