Michelle (35 / Ms. ), American, Nanny living in USA looking for Nanny job in Costa Rica, France, Italy, Mexico & Spain for 1-24 Months

I am honored to introduce myself as a potential au pair for your family. I bring a unique combination of professional childcare experience, cultural curiosity, and a deep appreciation for the joy and wonder of childhood.

I currently work as a Private Nanny for an infant and as an After School Coordinator at Little Oak Montessori School (children ages 4-10). At Montessori, I’ve embraced child-led learning approaches that focus on fostering independence, creativity, and a strong connection to nature. I am passionate about nurturing curiosity and helping children develop at their own pace, whether through hands-on activities, outdoor exploration, or encouraging them to discover their own interests. My commitment to creating safe and supportive environments is also informed by my personal studies on childhood brain development and trauma, which have deepened my understanding of how children process emotions, form connections, and thrive in nurturing spaces.

Becoming an au pair is a natural next step for me, blending my love of caregiving with my passion for learning from others. I’m excited about the opportunity to immerse myself in your family’s culture and parenting style, gaining valuable insights into caregiving techniques that differ from my own. I hope to share my experiences and adapt to your family’s values, creating a rich cultural exchange that benefits everyone.

My enjoyment of stepping outside my comfort zone has been shaped by my travels to places like Indonesia, Italy, Sicily, and Mexico. These experiences have not only broadened my perspective but have also helped me develop adaptability and a deep appreciation for cultural diversity. Whether exploring a bustling city or the serene outdoors, I find immense joy in connecting with new people, environments, and traditions.

You should consider hosting me because I bring a holistic approach to caregiving: balancing structure with play, fostering independence while providing comfort, and creating memorable experiences through creativity and exploration. My experience with the Montessori method, child-led learning, and my studies in childhood development ensures that I can support your child’s growth in a thoughtful, meaningful way.

I would be thrilled to join your family, share in your daily life, and provide a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment for your children. Thank you for considering me as your future au pair. I look forward to the possibility of building a wonderful partnership with you and your family.
