Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, I am looking for work to cover living expenses. You can rest assured that your children will be safe and happy with me.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am passionate about working with children. I have completed my Higher Certificate in Preschool Education. I am responsible and trustworthy and will respect your boundaries and guidelines as if they were my own. Over the past few years I have had the opportunity to work with children in school and home environments and I can honestly say I wouldn't like to be doing anything else.

Hobbies and other interests

I love art and drawing and enjoy reading, learning and teaching. I also like to work with animals and nature. I am interested in beekeeping.

Boys aged 7 and 10

Job description

I look after a 7-year-old boy with Cerebral Palsy and ADHD (susp. Autism) and his 10-year-old brother in the afternoons daily. I watch them full day during school holidays and if they are sick. My duties are to fetch the boys from their respective schools and take them home and to extra murals, prepare lunch and do homework with the older boy. I take the 7-year-old to speech therapy, help him with his communication (he is non-verbal, so he is learning sign language and using an app to speak) and play constructive and stimulating games, as well as helping him to learn personal boundaries and appropriate behaviour.
