Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, my name is René, I am a single mother of a 19year old son. I have been Au Pairing for many years while working as a fashion designer, creating my own kids clothing brand. I love teaching and working with kids of all ages. I am friendly and bubbly by nature. I always strive to give my best and grow into the best version of myself.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am energetic, friendly and self-driven. I am well organised, punctual, always have a positive attitude and passionate about my work. I am experienced in providing physical and emotional care and assistance to children, maintaining a safe and clean environment and coordinating activities. Strong attention to detail and safety, excellent communication skills and highly professional. Ability to work and perform well independently, comforting and supporting a child when sick or upset.

Hobbies and other interests

I love the outdoors (nature and animal lover) Swimming Walking Yoga and dance Cooking Reading and learning new skills Arts and crafts Anything creative
