Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Hello! I'm Shayna, a recent graduate with an honours in psychology. I am an empathetic and caring individual excited about the opportunity to become your family's au pair. With a passion for fostering a positive and supportive environment and a love for connecting with children, I am confident in my ability to contribute to your family's well-being.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I have dedicated the last four years of my life to studying humans and their behaviour not only because of my deep interest in why humans do what they do but because I am beyond passionate about making a difference. I strongly believe that providing a supportive and comforting environment for children is so important to a solid foundation in their growth and development. I believe that my passion within psychology truly links to being an aupair.

Hobbies and other interests

Other than reading my in-depth textbooks, I love research! I love to expand my knowledge in fields that I am interested in. I also love to create art and have a creative outlet by drawing. I also love growing my little veggie garden and maintaining a clean space.
