Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, My name is Rashida A and I have been an aupair for many years, and registered with aupair@home agency, working with children of all ages, from newborn to teens. I have worked as aupair, babysitter, facilitator, tutor and counselor. For me taking care of children is not just a job but as one of my previous employers has said " a calling", it gives great joy and satisfaction being able to help children grow and watch them reach their full potential, and I would love the opportunity to become a part of your family as I have been privileged to do with other families before. Looking forward to meeting all potential families

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am honest, hardworking, dedicated and professional. When I take on any job I commit myself fully and should you choose me as aupair for your children, you can rest assured that I will make sure that your children are well taken care of, that they feel safe, secure and cared for while in my presence.

Hobbies and other interests

I am a nature lover who enjoys outdoor fun and adventure. Consider myself an arty, creative unloving person, who enjoys drawing, painting, cooking, baking etc Also enjoy most sports, an as I once taught play ball, enjoy teaching kids skills while engaging in fun sport games and play.
