写给家庭的信
Hello!
My name is Ashley, I’m 17 years old, and currently a senior in high school in the United States. As the eldest child in my family, I have always taken on responsibilities caring for my younger sister, which naturally grew into a love for looking after children.
For the past five years, I’ve spent my summers volunteering and working at youth camps, and for the past year I’ve been a nanny for a wonderful family with a three-year-old boy. I’ve spent hundreds of hours caring for him, keeping him safe, happy, and entertained. Kids tend to warm up to me quickly, and I truly enjoy creating fun, meaningful connections with them. Along with childcare, I also help with light cooking and cleaning, so the household runs smoothly. Sadly, the family is moving, and I am now looking forward to my next adventure as an au pair.
I would describe myself as responsible, trustworthy, and caring, but also fun, creative, and full of energy. I love coming up with games, activities, and crafts that keep children engaged and learning. At the same time, I know how important safety and structure are, so I make sure children feel both secure and supported.
Safety is something I take very seriously. I am CPR certified, trained in the Heimlich maneuver, and have knowledge of basic first aid. I am also a strong swimmer, having passed the lifeguard test, so families can feel confident that their children are safe with me in all kinds of situations.
Even though I am 17, I believe my experience speaks for itself. I have been trusted by both families and camp organizations to care for children of different ages, and I always approach the role with maturity, patience, and enthusiasm. Families who choose me will get someone who is hardworking, dependable, and excited to truly be part of their family.
Outside of childcare, I love surfing, hiking, pottery, cooking, and exploring new places. I’m excited by the idea of experiencing a new culture, helping children grow, and creating lasting memories with my host family.
I look forward to connecting and would be happy to answer any questions you may have!
