Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family, Thank you for your interest in my profile, I'm Kristen and I’m 28 years old, I have no kids of my own but do wish to have a family after 30 and so I promise to devote my time to the aid of your household and schedule. I'm a friendly, fun, fit, passionately driven organized and uplifting person, one of my biggest passions is helping guiding our children in their aid of a great lead on education as knowledge is our primary source of success. My skills include: • Teaching • Education and educational play • Psychology and development • Support and motivation • Life skills • Story time • Cooking • Health and fitness. I spread love and kindness and always look for ways in which I can be of service in making life a little easier for your kids and household. *I have experience with children on the spectrum.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would make the perfect Au pair for many reasons, here are a few at the top of my head, I have a great understanding children and teens, I know how to motivate with passion in my speech and I am very imaginative which can easily lead to talking for hours about any topic. I connect quite well with everyone I meet, I motivate with patience and kindness and teach in a very respectful manner. I also have over four years experience in the medical field and am well equipped for any situation, I pride myself on being a safe and cautious driver.

Hobbies and other interests

Storytelling, swimming, being outdoors, hiking, running, theater, word of the day, playing board games, watching and playing all sport. I do enjoy writing (I am currently writing children’s educational books, children’s illustration books, fictional novels, poetry and self help/motivational books after all my achievements
