Hello! My name is Zoe and I am 18 years old! I am nearing the end of my first year of university (majoring in psychology and communications) and would love the opportunity to become an au pair during my summer break.

I want to become an au pair because I love meeting and making bonds with people, no matter the age! I have always valued the oppertunities to guide and look after children, becoming a support person all throughout high school to be a familiar face to younger students. I am warm and friendly and ensure everyone I meet leaves with a smile on their face.

Candidates should choose me because I always go above and beyond to make others feel safe and happy. Some may call it the 'kiwi' nature but I am easy going and full of adventure. While I know how to have a blast, I am also able to set and follow rules that ensure fun can be had in a safe and respectable way

I qualify for this position because all throughout my life I have looked after and nurured those younger than me. Other than being a guidnace for younger students at school, I have a younger brother and 7 younger cousins. Being the eldest cousin and child has given me the oppertunity to be a role model and set a good example of those who looked up to me. Even since I was 14 I have been babysitting and looking after them. They can be a handful but have given me plenty of experience to deal with children of all ages!
