Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, My name is Vanessa. I am passionate about education and development. I am currently pursuing a PhD in Sociology. I love reading, writing, and thinking out loud. I am kind, warm and attentive. I am thorough and always do my best.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make a perfect au pair because I believe seriously. I believe children-rearing should be intentional work therefore children not only be cared for, but also given ample learning and development opportunities. I think a happy and health child is also a child who can be stimulated, nurtured and allowed to be a child. I am kind, patient, funny, gentle and attentive.

Hobbies and other interests

Reading, writing, singing, cooking, learning.
