Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family I've been a live-in housekeeper and nanny with my current employers for the last 9 years, 2 of those have been looking after their toddler since birth. I feel it's time for a change and looking to be placed with a family where I can add value and feel part of the family. I also regularly babysit for their neighbours, looking after their two children, ages 6 and 9. (References available on request) I'm a qualified chef and can prepare healthy and delicious meals for your family. I do have my drivers licence, so I can run errands, do grocery shopping and lift kids to and from school and extra murals (although currently I don't own a car, I am looking to buy a car soon). I'm also happy to do household duties, but with my main focus being the children. My CV, papers and references are available on request.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I would be perfect for your family, as I'm approachable, have a caring nature, young at heart and am happiest when I am around children. They will be in great hands. I have a happy disposition and will bring that into the home that I work in. Being a mother, I know the importance of raising happy, well mannered children with the right value system. I am energetic and will make my time with your children fun, whilst constantly stimulating and teaching them through play. Having to help my daughter with her homework, I'm comfortable assisting your children with basic homework if need be. I'm also presentable, trustworthy, responsible and hard working.

Hobbies and other interests

In my spare time I enjoy quality time with my 11 year old daughter, exploring the city and taking her out and about. I also enjoy taking long walks, reading and my passion is baking and cooking.

Employer comments

Sandra is AMAZING with our children! They really love her being around and she always finds fun ways to fill up their time when babysitting. If she's not braiding my daughters hair, she's singing songs with them or playing games. She also finds fun ways to test my son on his maths, setting little challenges. She has a very special way with children and whatever family decides to employ her, will be lucky to have her look after your children. She's always punctual and communicates well and nothing is ever a hassle.
