Introduction to families
"Dear Family" message
Dear family, I hope this finds you all well. Becoming an au pair is an opportunity that aligns perfectly with my aspirations and values. My love for spending time with children runs deep. They have taught me invaluable lessons about curiosity, self-expression, and the beauty of innocence. Being an au pair allows me to practice, responsibility and compassion. Working with children has always been a dream of mine, and this opportunity fulfils that desire while allowing me to grow as an independent and responsible young woman rooted in discipline and values. I am eager to exchange values and wisdom with a family outside of my own, enriching both my personal and professional development. This journey as an au pair is an opportunity for mutual growth, understanding, and enriching connections that I am deeply honoured to be a part of.
Why I would make the perfect au pair
I am punctual, I follow instructions well, I have been driving for over a year. open to giving and receiving love, I am interested in different world views and beliefs, I listen to understand and not to respond, I am patient, time conscious, honest and firm, I believe in different ways of expressing self and I am open to receiving teachings and lessons from children. I am a vibrant and optimistic woman, eager to embark on new adventures as an au pair. I am a Bachelor of Arts degree holder, majoring in Psychology. I envision myself as multifaceted —a fashion designer, a musician, a writer, and ultimately, a psychologist specializing in early childcare and development. My greatest source of inspiration is my mother, a dedicated professional nurse and midwife who spent over a decade working in childhood development units. Her knowledge, wisdom, and unwavering passion for children continue to shape my aspirations and fuel my desire to make a positive impact in their lives.
Hobbies and other interests
In my free time, I find joy in a variety of activities that allow me to express myself creatively and connect with loved ones. As an auntie to more than five children, I enjoy taking them on adventures to movies, shopping excursions, and delightful dining experiences. These moments create cherished memories and deepen my bonds with them. Karaoke sessions are a favourite Hobbie of mine, where I can let loose and express myself through music. Additionally, I enjoy exploring various artistic outlets, such as crocheting and designing clothing with my sewing machine. The process of creating something beautiful from scratch brings me immense satisfaction and fulfilment. Cooking is another passion of mine, as I delight in experimenting with Flavors and creating delicious meals for myself and others to enjoy. Painting and beadwork serve as therapeutic outlets for me, allowing me to unwind and tap into my creativity. Staying active and healthy is important to me, which is why I prioritize fitness activities like morning walks and gym sessions. These routines not only keep me physically fit but also contribute to my overall well-being and mental clarity. In my downtime, I also indulge in reading books on self-improvement, as I believe in continuously learning and growing as an individual. And of course, spending quality time with my dog is a source of pure joy and companionship. Overall, my free time is a blend of creativity, connection, and self-care activities that nourish my soul and bring balance to my life.
