Letter to the family

Hello!
I am Makayla. I am 22 years old, seeking work as an au pair! Not only do I have a lot of experience with childcare, but I love doing it! It's not a just a job for me; I bond really well with children and have a vested interest in seeing them flourish into successful, happy, educated citizens. I want to help children become the best version of themselves and show them all the fun and happiness that life has to offer. I have held many childcare jobs including a camp counselor, full time nanny, daycare worker, youth basketball coach, and babysitter. I have been described as the perfect balance between stern and laidback, as I want children to have fun and enjoy life, but also want to teach them respect, self-control, and emotional regulation. I am a Psych Major and therefore have an increased understanding for human emotion, which adds another layer to my qualifications. Please let me know if you think I'd be a good fit for your family and do not hesitate to reach out with questions!

Experience

I have not had any experience as an Au Pair yet, but I was a full-time nanny for 5 children, ages 2, 5, 11, and 14 (the two year olds were a set of twins). The only difference between this and au pair work is that I did not live with the family. I still performed household duties such as cooking, cleaning, and laundry. I would like to work abroad in Germany because I think being an au pair would be a good stepping stone to help me meet people and learn about life in a new country with the support of a host family AND I get to do what I love: work with children. I have visited Germany twice and studied German as my minor at University and I have a love for the place and the language. I was a recipient of my high school German Language Award, a Research Assistant for one of my German professors, am an active member of my school's German Honor Society, and am a current intern for the Black German Heritage Research Association.
