Dear potential prospective employers,

I hope my application finds you well.

My name is Ciara and i'm a 22 year old female from Australia. I believe i possess the following skills; time management, organisational, strong communication, maturity, adaptability, patience, creativity, flexibility and problem solving.

I would relish in the opportunity to become an au pair as i have always had a love for kids. I admire their amazing and happy outlook of the world and believe caregiving brings a positive and meaningful purpose to ones life. I also would love the opportunity to be an au pair and live abroad as learning about other cultures is one of my biggest passions while continuing to strengthen and teach me many invaluable skills that i will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I believe i make a strong candidate to be a family's au pair as i have lived out of home since i was 18 and therefore possess all the valuable skills to maintain a smooth and successful household. I thoroughly enjoy cleaning, enjoy making tasty and healthy meals and have the ability to fulfil any required household administration. I believe these skills have only been further strengthened by my large amount of work experience in the hospitality and office administration industries.

While i don't have experience as an Au Pair, i have a lot of experience care giving for children. I was a dance teacher for multiple years where i was responsible for the well being and care of a classroom of 10 - 20 children aged between 3 and 9. I have also looked after family and friends children. I have completed my first aid and cpr multiple times, and more then happy to get a refresher if desired by the host family. I also did well in school with my best subjects being mathematics and english, meaning i will be able to assist with any homework the children require help with. I'm very active and creative and believe i can incorporate this into fun activities to share with the children.
