Dear Future Host,

I'm Ciara, a 22-year-old part-time University student studying Childhood and Youth Studies. As I prepare to be an au pair in Italy this summer, I am already looking forward to September and the opportunity to work with a family for a few months. I am passionate about nurturing children's growth and development and am eager to continue to build a supportive environment where children can thrive, explore their interests, and reach their full potential.

I have a strong foundation in childcare, with extensive experience as a nanny and special needs teaching assistant. I have worked with children of all ages, including those with additional needs like Autism and ADHD. I have completed several courses to enhance my knowledge and skills in childcare. These include "First Aid Essentials," "An Introduction to Autism Spectrum Disorder," "An Introduction to Teaching Phonics," "Prevention Training," "Child Development 0-5 years," "DBS," "ADHD Awareness," "Autism Awareness," "Improving Children's Learning Through Play," "Mental Wellbeing in Children and Young People," "Supporting Children with SEND in the Early Years," "Creating an Effective Communication and Language Environment," "Being a Key Person in an Early Years Setting," and "Reception Skills." These courses have provided me with a comprehensive understanding of various aspects of child development, special educational needs, communication strategies, and creating a positive learning environment. They have equipped me with the necessary skills to support children effectively and ensure their overall well-being.

When it comes to my fees, they are competitive and reflective of my qualifications, experience, and local market rates. I typically charge an hourly rate for my services, which can vary depending on factors such as the number of children, their ages, the location, and the specific responsibilities required. I adopt a flexible approach to pricing, considering each family's unique needs and circumstances. I am open to discussing and negotiating a mutually agreeable rate that suits your specific requirements.

If you want more information about me and my services, please feel free to contact me. I am excited about the possibility of becoming an Au Pair & Nanny for your family, bringing my dedication, experience, and commitment to creating a safe and nurturing environment for your children.

Thank you for considering me.

Best regards,
Ciara
