Introduction to families
"Dear Family" message
There is no greater honour than to be trusted with care and well being of your your child/children. I would care for them as my own as I know how precious these little people are. All children are unique and I would treat them as such. I promise to carry out my duties to the best of my ability and be the "mom" when you are not available.
Why I would make the perfect au pair
Firstly, I would like to state that you must not be put off by my age. I am highly energised and able to play with children. I run and exercise so am fairly fit. I would put the interest, needs and well being of the child/children first. Safety and care is priority as well as creating an environment/atmosphere for the child/children to be able to express themselves comfortably. Nothing would be too much trouble within boundaries proposed by the employer/parent/guardian. Hugs can be provided if considered suitable. I get on very well with children of all ages and can bring myself down to their level.
Hobbies and other interests
Reading, cooking, healthy eating, movies, music, travel, exercising, internet.
