I have cared for my three younger brothers since they were babies, as well as three toddlers from my neighbourhood. My responsibilities have included preparing meals, feeding, bathing, helping children get ready for school, playtime, keeping them entertained, maintaining a safe environment and attending to their daily needs. I am patient, attentive and comfortable caring for children of different ages.

I worked as a hairdresser’s assistant six days a week, with one day off. My duties included preparing clients, washing and caring for hair, assisting the hairdresser with daily tasks, keeping the workspace clean and organised, and providing friendly and respectful service to clients.

Dear Future Host Family,

I’m very excited about the possibility of becoming part of your family as an au pair. I’m a warm, patient and responsible person who genuinely enjoys caring for children and creating a safe, happy environment for them.

I have experience caring for my three younger brothers since they were babies, as well as three toddlers from my neighbourhood. I’ve helped with preparing meals, playtime, keeping them entertained, getting them ready for school and making sure they are safe and comfortable. These experiences have taught me patience, responsibility and how to understand children’s individual needs.

I’m especially interested in being an au pair in China because I have always been fascinated by Chinese culture, language and everyday life. I would love the opportunity to experience China beyond what I have seen online, learn some Mandarin, try traditional foods, explore different places and understand the culture from a local family’s perspective. At the same time, I would be happy to share my own culture and experiences with your family.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, drawing and writing, and I also enjoy going out and exploring when I can. I played netball and volleyball growing up, so I would also enjoy being active and doing fun activities with the children.

I hope to find a host family where we can communicate openly, respect each other and build a genuine connection. I’m willing to stay for as long as you need me, and I would be grateful for the opportunity to become a caring and dependable part of your family.

I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your family.

Warm regards,
Big Sister Ciara
