Introduction to families
"Dear Family" message
Dear Family, I am thrilled to introduce myself to you! My name is Tayla, and I am excited to join your family as an au pair. A little bit about me: I am 19 years old from Durbanville Cape Town, with a passion for childcare, learning, and cultural exchange. Growing up, I was surrounded by a loving family and had the opportunity to care for younger cousins and siblings, sparking my love for working with children. I am a quick learner, adaptable, and enthusiastic about new experiences. In my free time, I enjoy playing hockey, baking, cooking, which I hope to share with your family. As an au pair, I promise to bring energy, creativity, and dedication to caring for your children. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment and supporting their development with patience, understanding, and fun! I am eager to learn about your family’s values, traditions, and customs, and to become a part of your daily life. Thank you for welcoming me into your home. I look forward to building a strong bond with each of you and creating unforgettable memories together! Warm regards, Tayla
