Dear Family

Teacher with 5 years experience seeking live-in au-pair role???????*
??1-12 months, flexible.

??I am 27 years old, originally from Cape Town, South Africa. I spent the past four years teaching and travelling, three of which were spent teaching kindergarten in Thailand.

I've also taught at a primary school (years 1 - 6).

?? I have experience with kiddies from newborn to teenagers.

I absolutely loved teaching Early Years, and I have now moved back home to study my Post Graduate Certificate in Foundation Phase Education next year via correspondence.

I am most recently back from Brisbane, where I gained valuable experience as a live-in au pair for a young family with a daughter, age 5, and baby, age 6 months.

????? I am a Kindergarten teacher, and was living and teaching in Thailand for the past 3 years.

ABOUT ME:
I love kids and am confident taking care of them. Teaching Kindergarten brought me so much joy!

??????Huge animal lover! I have 2 dogs and a cat at home. I've been for a couple horse riding lessons too. I just don't like reptiles.

??Non-smoker

I have 1 small tattoo on my arm of a dog.

I eat chicken, some fish, but no red meat. I have no problem preparing it.

?? manual drivers license, I have been driving for 9+ years. I can also drive a scooter.

+ Level 3 first aid certified from St John's Ambulance (needs to be renewed). Experience doing first aid at school Rugby matches.

??current police check

?? Experienced, independent traveler. I have been living away from home since I was 18 - no risk of homesickness here!

??Clean, tidy and respectful of your space. I like my quiet time too.

??Creative and enthusiastic - I'd love to plan exciting activities and outings for your little ones.

??Patient, kind and caring, but firm when needed.

??Able to help with homework as needed, including developing reading skills and maths literacy.

?????Confident swimmer, I'm a total water baby, and suitably paranoid about water safety.

????? I am a big sister in 'real life' to my younger sister, who's 4 years my junior.

?? I love art, reading, drawing and being in nature. I'm always up to try new things.

?? I have references available from my Kindergarten, and from previous families I've babysat and au paired for. I have kept in touch with past families, and recently spent 15 days in Beijing with a family that I had tutored in Thailand.

I'm so looking forward to my new adventure back in CT and would love to be part your family environment. I miss being around happy little faces! I look forward to hearing from you ??

Kind regards,
Nina
