Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

I’m a warm-hearted and patient person with a genuine love for working with kids. As a psychology student, I’m really interested in childhood development, which makes spending time with children even more rewarding for me. I enjoy the creative side of interacting with kids, whether it's through fun activities, games, or just exploring new ideas together. My aim is to create a positive and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and excited to learn and grow. Working with children is something I truly enjoy, and I’m dedicated to making a meaningful difference in their lives.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would be an excellent au pair because of my previous experience with children and my natural patience and kindness. I find great satisfaction in supporting their growth and development and am genuinely enthusiastic about creating a positive and engaging environment. I love watching kids learn and achieve new milestones, and I approach this role with dedication and creativity, always planning new activities to keep them engaged. My commitment to their well-being and enjoyment makes me confident that I can provide a nurturing and enriching experience for them.

Hobbies and other interests

My hobbies and interests include reading, drawing and painting, babysitting, cooking, and crafts.

Job description

I took care of a 15-month-old girl, and my main responsibilities included feeding her, changing her, and putting her down for naps. I also enjoyed planning and engaging in various activities and playtime with her. It was incredibly rewarding to watch her grow and develop, and I found great joy in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment for her.
