Introduction to families
"Dear Family" message
Dear family. I have had over 15 yrs of experience taking care of children - doing aupair work, working as an assistant teacher at a playschool, working on board a Cruise Liner (running the Youth Programs) and most recently, a mother to my very own little girl. I am a gentle, caring person with a general love for children! I am certified in child CPR, first aid and emergency care. I have also completed an Educare course which covers Basic Childcare; Development and Stimulation from infant age and Nutrition.
Why I would make the perfect au pair
I am a creative young individual with tons of energy to keep up with children of any ages! I aim to create fun learning opportunities for them and see to it that they are well taken care of. You can feel at complete ease, knowing that your little ones are safe and content whilst you are away.
Hobbies and other interests
I enjoy making arts and crafts, swimming, running, photography, baking, reading and painting. I enjoy anything that is active and creative!

My husband and I are both working parents and have relied on Kate to care for our son during the day. Matteo absolutely adores Kate and loves spending his day with her. She does fun activities with him and teaches him through play. She is a part of our family and we all love her very much. Matteo gets a home cooked meal from Kate everyday as well as lots of love and attention.

Employer comments
Kate is a very kind, patient and sweet person. She always showed up to work on time with a smile on her face. She was very good with the little ones and the children responded well to her. She loved reading stories to the kids and playing silly games. She is compassionate and caring and when a little one was crying she was always the first to try to comfort them. Kate is a very responsible and trust worthy person to work with!
