Letter to the family

Hello, my name is Courtney and I am Australian. I recently completed year 12 and am interested in becoming an au pair. I turn 18 in April next year. I come from a country town in South Australia with a population of approximately 2000 people. It is a farming community situated around live-stock and grain farming. My family are farmers who also have a transport business. I have a younger brother, Jordan, who is 16-years-old.

I am going into my gap year, and aupairing would be perfect for me as I love children, traveling and am passionate about seeing new places and meeting new people. As an au pair, I am hoping to become a part of your family and give you the help you require throughout your week, and to become a valuable person in your children's lives. I am kind and considerate and like swimming, walking, art, design, board games, having fun and I am open to trying new activities too.

Experience

- I have worked abroad with school students in Cambodia for a 2-week placement, where I helped prepare and deliver English lessons for primary aged children. This was a very rewarding experience and the children and beautiful natured people of Cambodia touched me. I was interested in aupairing before this service trip but it certainly fueled my desire to travel more and work with children in my gap year.
- I have been a Junior swimming coach for a local club for 2 seasons which has been enjoyable and rewarding, especially watching the children's progress over the season.
-I have babysat for various families in our local town but not on a regular basis. I have been responsible for and cared for my younger cousin many times and we always have a lot of fun together.

Our school has a buddy reading program, which involves the senior students helping the younger students with their reading in a lesson each week. I enjoyed this program very much in my senior year, especially seeing the improvement of the child/children throughout the year.

I love children, playing, teaching them new things as it is so rewarding to see someone grow. I think it is important to promote kindness and honestly with children and would strive to make a positive difference to the children's lives and the family home.

My current childcare experience totals to around 100 hours.
