I am writing to you to apply for the position of job of an Au Pair. My name is Jade and I am currently living in Perth, Austrailia. I am from England and before coming to Austrailia, my predominant experience lies within the health care sector. I have worked with children in a school nursery setting and provided palliative care for an elderly gentleman. I am highly adaptable and am willingly flexible to working. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to meeting the dynamic needs of various roles.
I wish to be an Au Pair because I thoroughly enjoy providing children the love and care they require to thrive in life. It is a very rewarding job and I wish to build on my transferrable skills whilst being in this job role. I believe laughter is the best medicine and will hold onto this belief if I was to have this job role. In accordance to this, I would ensure that the children are having fun, enjoying their hobbies and their safety is being ensured.
I understand the safety within First Aid and Food Hygiene.
By becoming an 'Au Pair', I could have the opportunity to learn of the Australian culture. I have lost a small amount of hearing and I come from a family who are hard of hearing so I am able to use British Sign Language to communicate. I could use to teach children new experiences as well as about the world around them.
I do not currently hold any experiences being an Au Pair but in the United Kingdom I have been within a nursery setting. I have worked with children from being a baby up to 12 years, I am interested to widen my knowledge being in a different country, children and adults are brought up from different backgrounds/culture. I love to engage and get to know other people and make friends.
Although I do have experience working with children for 4 years as after this I decided to work for an elderly man for two years before making the big decision of temporarily moving to Australia.
