Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family This is regarding the Au Pair job posting listed on the online job portal. My name is Refilwe (fifi) K, a 24 years old student. I come from a big family with 6 siblings. I believe I am a great sister and a helpful person to my parents as I used to babysit all my siblings on my parents’ absence. My love for children made me develop a very huge interest in teaching. Giving the young ones knowledge, helping them with their school work and being there for them in time of need is what fills my heart. In my past experience I was a teacher assistant at a primary school for a year and now I study Teaching. As an Au Pair, I promise to treat your child/ren as mine, as I will offer them love, care, time and trust to the family and children. I am confident that I possess all the necessary skills to work with you. It will be a wonderful opportunity for me to grow both personally and professionally. I am fluent in Setswana and English which makes it easier for me to adapt to your lifestyle and needs. And it will be a fulfilling experience for me to take care of your children for this year. What I can help with is; Helping the children complete their homework and assignments Occasionally taking the children to the doctors. Providing care to a child when they are sick or upset. Tidying up the children's room. Reading stories to the children. Driving the children to the park, swimming classes, and library. Picking up after the children have finished playing. Over the years I have developed multiple skills and abilities to help me perform my duties as an Au Pair. I have learned to be calm under stressful situations because with kids you don't know when something comes up. I have actively taken part in art activities since schooling, this has allowed me to be a good team player. The above skills helped me become the professional that I am today, and an opportunity to work with your family will help me improve furthermore as an Au Pair. Thank you for your time and consideration. Looking forward to discussing more about my experience and working with your family. Sincerely, Refilwe (Fifi)
