Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear prospective family, I am Talisha Y, and I am 21. I graduated from Kharwastan Secondary School in 2020 where I received a Bachelors Pass and I've achieved my higher certificate in law. I am submitting this application to assist families with childcare services, as I have experience in this field. I am a responsible person. I always have children's best interests at heart. They will always be very safe with me as I am cautious, and they will be my number 1 priority.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

I am caring, patient and willing to go above and beyond for my host family. Though I am quite young, I believe this works in my favour because not only can I be a responsible authority figure, I can also be someone your children can trust and confide in. I am honest and trustworthy.

Hobbies and other interests

My interests include reading. I also enjoy writing and completing puzzles in my spare time. I enjoy baking and doing arts and crafts.

Job description

During 2019 and 2021 I would occasionally babysit for the Singh family over the weekends. My responsibilities included preparing meals, overseeing playdates and assisting with baths and bedtime. I also spent time working on vocabulary, numbers, letters and colours with the 5-year-old and assisted the 8-year-old with his homework when necessary. During this time I also assisted with light housekeeping involving the kids e.g. making their beds, picking up toys etc.

Employer comments

Talisha is a very sweet girl. She is good with kids of all ages and my kids love spending time with her. I was very fortunate that Talisha was able to help me when I needed her the most. Since we were experiencing a pandemic my kids had to stay at home for a while and Talisha was there to assist and monitor with online learning. She also helped tidy up the house and prepare meals for the boys while we were at work. Talisha is very patient and caring and is always willing to go the extra mile.
