Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, My name is Angelique, and I am writing to tell you a little about myself and the type of family I am hoping to Au pair for. First and foremost, I have a beautiful 2 and a half year old daughter. I have completed my BA Degree in Applied Psychology and my Post Graduate Certificate in Education Intermediate phase. I am also trained in various special needs courses through the Neuro Diversity Centre as I have a passion for working with special needs children, as well as neurotypical children. I am planning to finish my Honours Degree in 2026 which will be part time studying, not to interfere with my workload. When it comes to child care experience, I have looked after children in both formal and informal contexts and have years of Au Pair, tutoring, home schooling assistance, home based behavioural therapy and school facilitation experience. My Specialization in Educational Psychology is the focus on Developmental Disorders. My most recent experience was an Intermediate Educator at Curro Century City. I am now looking to be employed (preferably long term) by a loving family while I focus on finishing my studies up to my Doctoral Degree. I am very devoted to the family I will be working for. I am extremely passionate about working with children and have a lot of patience, especially when it comes to kids who need a little extra help and attention. As far as preferences are concerned, I am looking for a stay-out or stay-in arrangement family, that would be happy to have me working for them for at least 12 months or longer. I would be happy to have the opportunity to speak with you and to answer whatever questions you may have about me or my childcare experiences, to learn more about your family, your interests and to know more about what you expect from the au pair arrangement. Thank you very much for your interest in my application! I look forward to hearing from you. Kind Regards, Angelique

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am a trained ABA Behavioural Therapist and have extensive experience in working with children on the Autism Spectrum and Related Disorders. I am very good at what I do when it comes to looking after, caring for and teaching children. I can comfortably say that I sincerely enjoy spending time and caring for children. It is a passion of mine. I love to help children to accomplish their hopes, dreams and goals. I am also good at teaching children new stuff, like swimming, drawing, reading and counting, in a fun, yet educational manner.

Hobbies and other interests

Playing piano, nature, outdoor activities, art related activities, cooking, reading, playing and caring for animals, educational games etc.
