Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Hello there, I'm Caitlin. I currently teach ESL online, working with both children and adults. I have lots of experience working with children in many capacities, and am looking to supplement my income through part-time au pairing/lifting/tutoring. I also love helping kids rediscover nature, and imaginative play. I'm looking for something close to home (Clovelly) for a few hours a week. Max 3 hours per afternoon.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I have a BA Humanities Degree in Psychology and English, and taught English in Korea for three years. In Korea I had my own Kindergarten class, and taught ages 5 to 22. I have experience Au Pairing teenagers and young kids (2 years and up).

Hobbies and other interests

Crafts, hiking, cooking, reading, ballet, and being in nature.
