Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family My passion in life is to take care of children and teach them very strong values. Not only do I adore children, but I love to communicate on their level in such a way I would be able to win their trust and friendship. I strongly believe in discipline and routine. This is what a child needs in live to feel secure in his environment to be able to achieve to his fullest capacity. I have learnt that working with children of any age group is a big responsibility. I am aware of the patience you need and I practice this at all times. I am very experienced and also completed the First Aid and Educare course. Working from a young age, business has taught me the disciplines required in a competitive market and that people skills and customer satisfaction are not negotiable. My foundations for a hard work ethic have been laid and I know what the real world expects of me. I have been a full time au pair for 9 years with the same family and occasionally helped other families with babysitting in the evenings or over weekends. During the mornings when the boys were at school I've helped out at One 2 play school. Due to the family’s changing needs, I am looking for a new au pair position.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I'm mature and responsible enough to handle any situation. I'm willing to teach your children the very best at the most positive attitude. I am an experienced, mature and responsible au pair. I am hard working and have a positive attitude towards my job. I will nurture your children and will teach them strong and positive values. I have experience and understand the responsibility and patience needed when working with children and have demonstrated that I have these required skills. I look forward to meeting you.

Hobbies and other interests

I like outdoor things like camping & hiking. I like to shop, going to the movies with friends. I enjoy going to the beach or swimming in the pool. I'm very creative and like making things like paper mache etc. and enjoy scrap booking. I love exercising and playing golf. I'm interested in honest, well-mannered and out going people.

Bianca is the best ever! She didn't have the chance to help my kids with schoolwork but I assume she will be great with it. She has great plans to keep a child of any age occupied in constructive ways with endless games and creative ideas. I trusted her to stay with my kids for a full weekend and the kids were so happy to be with her every time. She is well organised and keeps the house clean and tidy as well. I can recommend her for any family!

Bianca is a true gem. The children loved her and spending time with her. She is responsible hard working and can follow instructions well, but is also able to improvise should the occasion arise. Bianca has sound values and moral standards and loves children. She is also great at building relationships. The family that gets to have her as an au pair will be truly blessed.
