Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family My name is Courtney. I am currently looking to join a new family as my last family decided to put their baby girl in daycare. I am very friendly and approachable and would be an asset to any family.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I have a lot of experience in child care (I have worked at an after care centre for a year as well as taken on several baby sitting opportunities and I've been an au pair to two wonderful kids and I have experience with new born as well - always keen to learn more) and as a result I have learned a lot about dealing with children and the various approaches required. I am extremely approachable as well as patient with the children and I have a huge passion for working with children and animals.

Hobbies and other interests

I am a very active, easy going person. I love baking and cooking for friends and family and have a dream to one day run my own bakery.
