Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family. I am the mother of 2 young adults, and a retired Pre-School Music teacher. My 2 passions in life are children and music. It would be my aim to take care of your child/children as if they were my own. I will be able to give my full attention to your family and ensure that your children are loved and cared for at all times.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am responsible, reliable and love working with children of all ages. Even though I may be considerably older than the average au pair, I still have the physical stamina to keep up with the most energetic toddler. I have taught Music & Movement classes at pre-schools and daycares from 2018 - 2022. I have a warm, kind and friendly nature and I still have to meet the child that doesn't take to me within minutes. I believe I have a special gift to truly connect with children of all ages on their level. I am extremely gentle, patient and tolerant but also believe that children should be taught values such as honesty, respect and kindness from a very young age. I will be 100% supportive in every aspect of you and your family's needs.

Hobbies and other interests

Playing the piano and guitar. Reading. Spending time in nature. Hiking.
