Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family I hope you are well and patiently waiting on the suitable caretaker for your loved one (s). In short, I would describe myself as very organised, responsible, loving, and caring. I am here to help lighten any burden or responsibility you may have, if given the opportunity.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I find myself fit for this role for various reasons. I love being in the presence of children as I find them very fascinating. I am not afraid to clean after them or anywhere else for that matter as I enjoy being in a clean environment. I am able to keep things under control when necessary and provide a safe atmosphere for your child (ren). I am a people's person and often find myself trusting to easily. I always put others needs before my own and wont hesitate to go the extra mile. If required from me, I also assist children in ensuring they understand certain subjects and help them with assignments and preparation for tests and exams. My motivation and passion for work gives me the necessary patience to do so.

Hobbies and other interests

* Hiking is fun * I like cycling * Board games keep me busy * Sudoku prickles my brain * I listen to music in my free time
