Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family! I hope my Introduction will be good enough to make you believe I would be perfect for your kids and your family.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am fun, I make children and people laugh, I am confident in what I do, I am extremely patient as being patient has been my lifestyle (Pastry chef and live-in carer), I never give up (if I feel like I need to, I push through it), I am reliable, trustworthy and passionate! I am also human too as I am not perfect. I could keep writing as to why I'd be a great/perfect Au Pair/PA but what I can say is this - The proof is in the pudding! I offer so many different skill sets and passions. I've worked in hotels, lived in Dubai, managed a staff of 15, opened up my own bakery and lived in London as a live-in carer. I possess skills many others may not. I would be a very Suitable Au Pair/Companion to your kids.

Hobbies and other interests

Singing, dancing, acting, baking, reading, drawing, watching movies, fishing, canoeing, spending time with family and friends, sight seeing, exercising/hiking and playing board games.

Job description

Not only did I get the children ready for school in the mornings, prepare their lunches, make their breakfast, drop them off to school but I also ran the household. I ran all the errands, did the grocery shopping, took the animals to the vet and parlor, made various appointments, attended meetings, prepped dinner for the family, got all the medication that was needed, walked the dogs and fed them daily. Once all my errands were done it was time to collect the children from school and from there I made them healthy snacks, gave them a 20 minute break and then started with homework /projects/studying for exams. After all the studying I made sure they were bathed and ready for dinner then it was my time to leave. Occasional weekends I needed to babysit the children, take them to play dates. I did various activities with them such as paddle boarding, baking, going to the beach, to the movies, for walks and had girly days with the teenage girl getting our nails and hair done. Incredible
