Personal introduction

Dear Host Family, I am a qualified childcare professional with a background in both early childhood education and nursing. I hold a diploma as an Early Childhood Educator, qualifying me to work with children from around the age of three until they start primary school. In addition, I have a medical school diploma and training as a nurse/childcare educator, with specific experience and education related to caring for young children aged 1–3. My education has given me a strong understanding of children’s development, their emotional and physical needs, and the importance of creating a safe, caring and stimulating environment. My medical background also means that I am familiar with basic health and hygiene practices and understand the responsibility involved in caring for young children. I am passionate about working with children and enjoy supporting them as they learn, grow and develop their independence. I believe that children need not only good care and supervision, but also patience, affection, structure and positive attention. As an au pair, I would be happy to become a trusted and responsible part of your family. I would love to contribute to your children’s daily routine, play and activities, while also learning about your family, culture and way of life. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and hopefully become a caring and dependable au pair for your family. Kind regards, Ivana
