Daniëlla (26 / Ms. ), South-African, Office Clerk living in South Africa looking for Au Pair job in Netherlands for 12-12 Months

Dear future Host Family

My name is Daniëlla and I was born and raised in a small town known as Springbok, Northern Cape in South Africa. I grew up in a home with my mother and grandparents. I am the middle child of 3 sisters where my older sister is 28 and the youngest is only 5 years old. I am a 25 year old female who enjoys spending time outdoors and playing a bit of Netball as well as Chess. Reading and dancing are also hobbies of mine. Being open and honest is one of my biggest priorities and I dislike being treated unfairly and unfriendly, because I would not treat other people that way.

Au Pair has always been a very big dream of mine, because I enjoy learning about new cultures and I absolutely love spending time with children. My biggest passion is to help them grow and build towards a brighter future. I love to cook and try out new recipes and doing so in another environment seems like a win to me. I have always wanted to fulfill my passions as a childcare expert in other parts of this beautiful world we live in.

As I have mentioned before, I have a 5 year old sister who I pretty much helped raised as my mother was a single mother at the time she was born so I know what it's like to play the role of a bigger sister figure. On top of that I have also been asked numerous times to babysit. Whether it be for a friend or family member, I am always a helping hand. My mother’s sister has two children and her brother has 1 child. They all grew up in front of me so I can proudly say I have the necessary experience when it comes to looking after children and helping them with whatever it is they need. I enjoy spending time with them as I do not have children of my own. I also have a certificate in Early Childhood Development which I studied at a local college, because as I have mentioned before, I have a passion for children. I have more than 10 years' experience when it comes to looking after children and I always do it with so much love and patience.
I am reliable, loving and caring and I will always try to help where and whenever I can.

I have a calm and collective personality and I believe I would fit right into not only becoming your Au Pair, but part of your extended family. I am ambitious and excited to go on this new journey with you as I can assure you I will be a good asset to your family.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.

Kindest regards

Daniëlla
