Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family, I would love to become your next Au Pair because I love children and really enjoy spending time with them. I also love seeing children grow. I am both prepared and well aware of the fact that being like a older sister for your child/children comes along with important responsibilities and it will not always be just play and fun times (which are very important), but also put in the hard work to ensure your kids do well in school and overall as a whole.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am great with kids and do very well with allowing them to feel comfortable. I am a friendly, caring, kind, loving and an extremely patient person. I enjoy spending time with kids and ensuring they receive all the care, attention and help they need in order to do always do better and learn. Another reason I would make the perfect au pair is because I have a 1 year old son that means the world to me and he has taught me how to take care of a child on a deeper level than just looking after them.

Hobbies and other interests

I am a huge foodie. I enjoy eating food and spending time with my son. I enjoy going for walks. I love playing all sorts of sports, especially hockey and swimming. I really enjoy listening to all kinds of music as well as dancing and writing/journaling. I also really love spending quality time with my family because to me family is everything. Spending time with my son is one of my favourite things to do as he is such a busy body that always needs to be entertained and this helps as I am always finding new activities to do with him that are helpful, fun and educational.
