Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family, my name is Alicia. I am not someone who is very good at describing myself and might seem a bit awkward the first few times we meet... if I see how my younger siblings interact with new people though, I am sure it must be a family trait. I adapt quickly to new surroundings and circumstances. Please consider me when looking for an au-pair for your children, I am certain I would be a good match for any family that wants their children to be well looked after and cared for.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I have 5 younger siblings so I grew surrounded by kids and I absolutely love it. I care a lot about children and want them to reach their full potential in everything they do and to have fun while getting there. I feel it is important these days to get kids away form all the screens when possible and take them on outings to experience the world in person. Other than tests and exams I can easily adapt my schedule to match that of the family I au-pair for.

Hobbies and other interests

I enjoy going for walks, swiming as often as I can and taking my younger siblings on outings. On the more technological side I have a few PC games that I enjoy and a few that my siblings occasionally want me to play with them. I also enjoy designing and making custom tshirts and vinyl stickers.
