写给家庭的信
Hello there!
My name is Sophia and I am 17, although I will be 18 by the time I am looking to start my position as an Au Pair or Nanny. I like to think I am kind, caring, loyal, patient and adaptive. I have 2 dogs, called Holly and Daisy and have had many other pets including fish and rabbits. I also have a younger sister. I speak English fluently and German to GCSE level (equivalent to B1).
I want to become an Au Pair and/or Nanny as I love working with children but also love getting to know people. Whilst I have thoroughly enjoyed working in a pre-school, I would love to get to know a family on a more personal level, and would love to able to spend more time with the child/ren as I become part of their 'village'. I think being an Au Pair and/or Nanny would help me develop a range of life skills ranging from cooking on a larger scale and organising more lives to learning how to navigate the world. I also love being able to watch children learn and grow, knowing I was part of it.
Why should you host me? I am reliable, kind, patient, hardworking, adaptive and most importantly, I find working with children as something that comes naturally to me. I'd love to become a part of your family's 'village' and help your children to grow whilst experiencing the world. I know it says I don't have a driving license or swim but I am learning to do both!
I believe I am qualified for the position but understand that there is always opportunities to become more qualified and more experienced. I have looked after children of many ages, from a 9 month old little girl up to a 10 year old young girl. I have experience with a range of SEND needs including autism, ADHD, speech delay, defiance disorder and global development delay. Moving on to the official qualifications, I have a range of GCSEs including, Higher Maths, Sociology and English. I have recently gained my Level 3 Paediatric First Aid certificate and Level 2 Childcare. In September 2024, I started my Level 3 Childcare as an apprenticeship and although this means, gaining the qualification will take longer to gain, it means I get to spend more time doing my favourite part, working with children.
