Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family. My name is Jordyn S. I am currently 22 years old, turning 23 in April. I just got back from my two year long Au Pair journey in the United States where I looked after a full of life two year old boy and the cutest six month old baby boy who immediately stole my heart. I would describe myself as a easy-going care-free, full-of-life person. I am always the person with all the energy and I am very self-confident. My communication skills are very good and I also respect the rules and values that the parents implement on their children a lot. Now that I am back I am enrolled to start studying foundation phase teaching online in March. I am looking for a part time Au Pair job while studying. My schedule will be flexible due to me studying online. I look forward to knowing your family and can't wait to make a great impact on your little ones lives.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

Apart from my extensive experience of working with children of different ages, I have had a passion for working with little ones from a young age. I love teaching them new things, helping them improve in other things and helping them become the best versions of themselves. I love to have fun with them but also get serious when it is time for that because I know there is a time for everything. I love helping kids grow and realize their full potential from a young age. I really care deeply for children and would love to make a difference in their life. I want to be someone they look up to and trust with anything if they have something on their mind.

Hobbies and other interests

I am very much an extrovert so my extracurricular activities include anything social. I love being around people, especially my friends and family. When I have some down time I enjoy watching a good movie or series, reading a book, going to the gym or going for a long peaceful walk.

Employer comments

Jordyn was wonderful with our two boys, she is fun and animated, and entertained the kids with her vibrance and positivity. The most important factor however, with both my wife and I working full time jobs, is that she was dependable - she didn't miss a single day's work during her tenure. She was not just an au-pair for our kids, she was a friend as well.
