Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family, I am religious and I have high morals and values. Being punctual and time efficient is extremely important to me. I am excellent at playing and teaching sports. I am an adventurous person and like to travel on my holidays. I am responsible, kind, friendly and a neat person. I love animals and nature.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

They say it's not a job if you love what you do and I love taking care of children. I am passionate about teaching children and helping them maximize their abilities, while teaching them new skills which will enhance their ability to become more self sufficient. I have excellent experience in improving school grades while at the same time educating children on the importance of self education and widening one's horizons. I try to understand the child's point of view and help them solve the problem in a happy and friendly environment.

Hobbies and other interests

I love Zumba, Krav Maga, exercising in our home gym and taking my pets for a walk. I like horseback riding, playing action netball and making beautiful arts and crafts. I do loom knitting while reading a book and experimenting with different cooking recipes. I enjoy gardening and have started my own vegetable garden.
