Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Willow Grace O, I’m a hard-working person and life drives me forward and motivates me. I’m independent and well taken care of, I enjoy learning new things and working with people, I am patient and kind towards all who cross my path. I would like to be a positive role model in your kid (s) life, enjoying every laugh and sharing tears when needed. I hope that I could teach them integrity and loyalty, and be by there side as they find themselves, I stand for honesty and kindness. As for discipline, I don’t like being violent or treat kids with disrespect, they are on a learning phase of life and I feel that there is no punishment needed, although speaking to them and resolving their issues through communication is the best way to handle any situation, I feel that kids should be free to experience their emotions and learn from their actions by making the better choice themselves.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

Investing time into a developing child, are one of the key assets to their future as adults. I believe that they should be free to ask any questions and not denied the answer regardless of how unexpected it might be. I believe in self-sustainability and for our growing generation its valuable information that can be carried on throughout their lives as they live a healthier lifestyle through growing their own food and gaining knowledge on different plants and what vitamins they contain and don't forget insects and organic pesticide.

Hobbies and other interests

After years of trying to figure out what I'm most passionate about, I have finally found my true calling. I currently work as a Hostess in Rosebank, I enjoy meeting new people and gaining something from every person that passes my way, in my spare time I’ve been doing research on how to grow mushrooms and will start my first trail on 15 March 2020. I'm well on my way to study either Equine Therapy or Agriculture, my love for sport will never die out its a major part of my life to stay fit and active. For the sport aspect of my life I will be competing competitively in Equestrian and swimming, I do hope that I would make the perfect candidate for your family.
