Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Family, I am a Mom of 2 adult children and loved bringing them up every stage of their development. I am friendly, calm and a loving person by nature. I love animals and have two furbabies myself. Your children will be taken care of with the greatest love, patience and security. I have a strong sense of responsibility and on completing homework and tasks for school. I am willing to support extramural activities with great enthusiasm! Please feel free to contact me should you have any further questions. Kind regards, Deidre S

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I believe I would make a perfect au pair due to a combination of my nurturing nature, cultural adaptability, and strong sense of responsibility. I am genuinely passionate about working with children and providing them with a safe, supportive, and enriching environment. My experience in mentoring and tutoring my own two children has allowed me to develop excellent communication and interpersonal skills when interacting with children of various ages. I am patient, attentive, and skilled at creating engaging activities that promote both fun and learning. As someone who embraces diverse cultures and experiences, I am excited about the opportunity to immerse myself in a new environment and share my own cultural background as well. I understand the importance of open-mindedness and adaptability and I am eager to learn from and contribute to your family's way of life. Responsibility is a value I hold dear. I take pride in my ability to manage tasks effectively, adhere to schedules, and maintain a structured routine that ensures the well-being of the children under my care. You can trust that I will prioritize their safety, health, and happiness at all times. Lastly, I am committed to open communication and collaboration with parents. I believe in working together as a team to ensure that the children's needs are met and their development is supported. I am more than willing to follow your guidelines and expectations while also bringing my own insights and creativity to the role. Overall, my combination of genuine affection for children, adaptability, responsibility, and strong communication skills makes me confident that I am well-suited to be the perfect au pair for your family. I am excited about the opportunity to create meaningful connections with your children and contribute positively to their growth and development. "
