"Dear Family" message
Dear Family. Having more than 8 years of experience working with kids from kindergarden and private homes I'm confident to say I have skills, and qualities of a good au pair. I love working with kids, watching them explore, laughing and learning new things everyday. I am outgoing, friendly and a fast learner.
Why I would make the perfect au pair
I have been praised by my previous employers and can work under pressure under little or no supervision. I can easily come up with different, stimulating activities to keep the child busy and to create a bond.
Hobbies and other interests
I'm quite active in my spare time. I like to feel that I am developing personally and professionally. I enjoy walks to keep my body fit. I also enjoy watching TV just to relax.

Employer comments
Laiza was always a joy to have around the house. She is amazing with children – compassionate and fun, but always responsible. Our son adored his time with her and we always felt he was in good hands. Laiza was also always keen to learn and better herself. We loved having her as a part of our family and I know she will make her future employers very happy.

Employer comments
Laiza is wondeful with kids. She is a happy, friendly, confident and very intelligent lady. She can think out the box when it comes to stimulating the kids. Emma went through a phase of being very clingy and Laiza always ensured I could get my work day done, knowing Emma was safe and well looked after - even though at times Emma was quite challenging. Laiza would be a pleasure to have as part of your houshold and family. She is wonderful
