Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, My name is Kelsey, and I am 24-year-old hard-working yet bubbly extravert. I am currently studying my honours degree part-time in psychology, where I attend classes in the evening. I see myself as a very patient, understanding and loving individual that does my best to succeed in all fields. I have great time management skills, with excellent organisational skills. I come from a large family with many younger siblings, and I feel it has taught me a lot about myself. I have learnt a lot about correct responsibility and managing different personalities. I am great at learning in new and different environments and thrive under pressure.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I have a passion in helping others, with whichever method this may be. There is a lot of responsibility that comes into the schedule of adults as well as children and it can be overwhelming at times and to be a great au pair a helping hand can mean a lot. Whilst having great time management it is important to get children to their classes or extra murals for them to grow within their own needs/wants into the path in exceeding in their lives. Patience and understanding can be a necessity in this field, and I am confident that I have mastered. As an au pair it is important to think about the ones around you as well as growing within yourself.

Hobbies and other interests

My hobbies include running, cheerleading and being active. I find it therapeutic keeping myself busy in the kitchen with cooking or baking. I enjoy seeing sights and visiting new places.
