Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear: Family I hope this message finds you well. I would like to express my humble request in applying for the position of being an au-pair to a great family in need of assisting with children. I am a person that is well organised, caring, nurturing, warmth personality with passion for children, and I am confident that I will be the best candidate for the position because this is what I want. I am prepared to start immediately and would love to contribute positively in the lives of the children 🙂🤩.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I was working and studying with Early Care Development Foundation for 7 months, the program was for 12 months but I couldn't finish because I had to start my degree so I considered the programme as a volunteer because varsity needed me full time. I believe that with the love that I have for the children I will make a difference in their daily lives. The Passion, skills, experience and understanding obtained at ECD will help me greatly in contributing positively in the lives of the children and the kind of attitude I gained from working for the families previously will impact my new environment positively. I really find joy and peace through these pure souls. working with children is sometimes challenging but fulfilling at the same time, and I am willing to do my it wholeheartedly. Thank you for your time and consideration, I look forward in hearing from you.

Hobbies and other interests

I am honestly a simple person😂, so I would say I love to cook and I really do try out new wonderful recipes. I like to sing, watch movies, read and do some shopping.
