Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, Thank you for taking interest in my profile. I have a journalism & Media background and I have also completed a certificate in Early Childhood Care and Education. I have a deep love for children of all ages & how interesting their young minds work. As an au pair I would like you to know that your children will be with a passionate, responsible & open minded, protective individual. I pride myself in my work & because of how life can be, I'm also very flexible in my dealing with families. Over the years I have gained experienced in how to engage & foster an atmosphere where children can thrive.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am responsible, reliable and organized. I am very open minded which allows me to integrate to a new family quickly. I understand the importance of a schedule and routine and know that creating a safe, nurturing environment for children is important not only to their safety but also their overall development. My personal experiences as an AuPair have taught me about the valuable engagement of fun and educational activities. I am also able handle unexpected situations with calm and problem-solving skills. I am willing to assist with homework, drive children to activities, and can avail myself to any unforeseen circumstances/situations. You should choose me as an au pair because you can rely on me. I am a person who loves her work with children and who performs this work with great dedication and commitment also ensuring a safe and supportive environment for children of all ages. I look forward to becoming a trusted part of your family's childcare team!
