Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Hi everyone! I'm Caitlin and I'm excited to introduce myself to you as a potential candidate for your family. With a strong passion for working with children and experience caring for people of all ages, I am confident in my ability to create a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment for your kids. I’m excited about the chance to meet you, get to know your family, help with your daily routines, and support your kids' growth and development. I’m looking forward to discussing how I can be of the most help.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

Throughout my life I’ve always had a love for working with children and caring for people. My ability for adapting quickly to new situations and environments, combined with my patience, empathy, and gentle nature, makes me confident I’d be a great au pair for your family. I’m also good at finding solutions and alternative options to problems, which I have found to be important when working with kids.

Hobbies and other interests

I enjoy art (mainly drawing), reading, baking, music, resin work, swimming, weight lifting, etc. I love learning random facts and sharing them with anyone I can get to listen. I am currently teaching myself how to play the guitar as well as learning Spanish.

Employer comments

Caitlin R was the best we could’ve chosen even during the stressful time we were in, took a load of stress off, proved herself capable of handling Thomas (our baby), making sure he was entertained, fed etc. so well he wouldn’t let go of her when mom and dad needed him back. Couldn’t have been more pleased with her work, in addition her communication and general ethics were fantastic. I recommend Caitlin R to anyone in need of child care, she will not disappoint.
