Introduction
Dear Family,
My name is Marichen, and I am so excited at the opportunity to become part of your family as an au pair. I come from South Africa and have completed my Bachelor of Science in Human Life Science with Psychology. I am currently in my second year working as a kindergarten teacher, and I am deeply passionate about working with people, especially children, and creating a safe, happy environment where they can grow and feel valued.
I currently work at a preschool with children aged 4–5 years old, where I am involved in their daily routines, learning activities, and play. This experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to understand each child’s unique personality and needs. I truly love being part of their little world—watching them learn, grow, and express themselves brings me so much joy.
I would describe myself as a kind, caring, and dependable person. I am hardworking and always try to give my best in everything I do. I enjoy building meaningful relationships, and I value open communication, respect, and trust. I also have a fun and playful side and love engaging children in creative activities, outdoor play, and learning through everyday moments.
Beyond childcare, I am adaptable and willing to help wherever needed. I understand the importance of becoming a supportive and positive presence in your home, not just for the children but for the whole family.
Becoming an au pair is such a special opportunity for me—not only to support your family, but also to experience a new culture, grow as a person, and create lasting memories together. I would be truly grateful to become someone your children feel safe with, look up to, and enjoy spending time with.
Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction. I hope to get to know your family and become part of your journey.
Warm regards,
Marichen
