Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, I am an energetic lady who has passion working with kids. I have great interest in the Au pairing industry, it’s gonna give me an opportunity to grow not only as a teacher but as an individual who enjoys seeing kids grow and develop to their best abilities. I am responsible and willing to work with your family in the best way I can as I provide you with the necessities you would require from me during the time we will be working together. I believe my teaching and tutoring experience will be most beneficial.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I value education, I am understanding, outgoing, I love making children smile I have a very bubbly personality, I am a quick thinker when needed to resolve situations in the best manner. I am eager and interested in how a child’s mind works so I am always willing and keen to see their true nature. I am very responsible, I will make sure children are in great and safe hands at all times. I am friendly and an enthusiastic individual. I am very hardworking and passionate. about children. I believe that caring for children is more than just supervision, it’s creating memorable moments together too. I am dedicated to make your children feel safe, supported and heard. As an Eldest daughter I’ve always been trusted by family and friends to care for their kids, also my nieces and nephews, and that experience has allowed me to understand the different needs of children in different stages of their development. As a teacher I learnt kids need a safe space and it has been an amazing journey seeing myself become their safe space.

Hobbies and other interests

I am creative and adventurous. I enjoy reading, writing and learning new things. I love music. I am also into sports, gym and the outdoors.
