Shaunna (29), neozelandés/a & británico/a, Au Pair actualmente en Reino Unido quiere ser Au Pair en Reino Unido

Hi!

My name is Shaunna I'm 29 years old and originally from Auckland, New Zealand. I'm currently looking for Au Pair/Nanny positions in London or the UK for the end of 2023 to beginning of 2024.

About me:
I've pretty much lived in New Zealand my entire life, though do love to travel. So as of March 2nd 2023 I packed my bags and headed overseas.

I'm from a family of four and grew up with a younger sister, my mum, Dad and numerous pets. I've always been creative, having participated in hobbies such as school wearable arts, photography, painting and sculpture. I get along extremely well with my younger sibling probably thanks to our shared love of art. I frequently videocall my family to keep them up to date on my whereabouts

I'm someone who is genuine, polite, enthusiastic and not afraid to be a little bit silly. I'd say my life's goal is to have as many spontaneous, joy filled experiences as possible! I love the idea of meeting people from all sorts of cultures and life styles.

I graduated from the University of Auckland, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2016. I am a very creative person and enjoy DIY projects, drawing, sculpting, painting and reading in my spare time. I am currently working on a series of postcards. I also love food, both cooking and eating. My expertise lies in Asian fusion though I do like to explore other cuisines as well. I am artistic and dependable but also aim to bring a cheerful and enthusiastic attitude to every project. Bringing strengths in communication, time-management and observation, I know that my creative abilities will serve to bring a valuable addition to the Au Pair/Nanny position.

Inspired by innovation, I thrive on experimenting with different concepts and have been commended for inspiring and developing unique and thought-provoking ideas. I have cultivated providing homework support, transporting children safely and managing schedules skills through a range of practical experience. These strengths, combined with my passion for the industry have created a strong foundation to meet the needs of the Au Pair/Nanny opportunity.

Experience:
It has been a while since I actively babysat but in the past four months I have helped look after multiple younger cousins ranging 18 months to 12 years old. When I was actively babysitting I was in charge of picking the children up from school and walking them home, meal preparation, afterschool activities, daily homework allocation, outings, and nap/sleep times. During my time as a babysitter, I provided care for children ranging from the ages of 5 to 12 years old, ensuring their safety and well-being while engaging them in educational and recreational activities. My strong communication skills, patience, and attention to detail make me an ideal candidate for this position, as I can effortlessly connect with both children and parents to provide the best care possible. Additionally, my adaptability ensures that I can quickly adjust to different childcare situations, including adapting to individual family routines and preferences. I'm more than happy to provide a positive written reference from families I babysat for.

I have:
Full Covid Vaccinations
Valid Drivers License
Experience with pets
Dual Passports - NZ and British
