Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear loving family, I thank you for taking the time to view my profile. I look forward to meeting you and becoming a part of your family, to work with you and help and assist where I can so that your daily/ weekly routine can be a bit easier.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I think would make the perfect au pair because I have studied early childhood. I have worked in 2 schools and gained experience with all kinds of children. I am hardworking, punctual, organised, patient, trustworthy, loving, energetic, creative and down to earth yet professional. I truly enjoy working with children of all races, ages, cultures and backgrounds and it has always been my passion. I am a mother to a two year old boy and so I understand how important proper childcare is. Being a mother has taught me valuable experience when it comes to the love, passion and attention required in raising children.

Hobbies and other interests

My hobbies and interests include gardening, reading, art and crafts, meditation, listening to music, hiking, going for walks or spending time in nature at the beach or parks and I also enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes.
