Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family. I would love to look after your children, not only because of how much I adore children, but also because I love seeing the potential in each and every child, and I would be honoured to help your child/ren to nurture that potential. I am a very calm and sensitive person, and I empathise with a lot of people very easily, so I believe I can establish a connection with your children so that they enjoy the time they have with me. I have a 6 year old brother, so I have been exposed to how to deal with problems related to young children and I enjoy giving advice to older teenagers because I have most likely been through the same experiences.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I have a passion for children, and my dream is to one day become a Paediatrician because I love children that much. I am an active person and love seeing children laugh and giggle, so playing outside or inside with the children would be absolutely perfect. I am a very responsible, reliable and organized person who is very trustworthy and determined and I believe I could use these qualities of mine to give it my all when ay pairing. I am also very punctual for appointments and arrangements.

Hobbies and other interests

I used to do hip hop and Cabaret Dancing and I absolutely loved it. I also enjoy playing soccer.
