Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, With a teaching degree and over 20 years teaching, especially teaching special needs children, and Au Pairing I bring loads of experience working with children to your family.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I’m empathetic, a great listener, can think on my feet and have boundless energy and enthusiasm when it comes to working with kids. I absolutely love what I do and this shows in the work I do. I love tutoring, mentoring and helping kids reach their individual potential and I know that when a child feels heard, understood and safe they can do just about anything that they set their minds to.

Hobbies and other interests

Walking, yoga, reading, live music shows, theatre and hanging out with my friends, my family and my dog.
