Persönliche Einführung
Dear Host Family,
My name is Amelia/Milly and I am from Melbourne, Australia. I'm so excited about the possibility of becoming an Au Pair and sharing this experience with a family overseas!
I've always loved working with children and I've experienced how rewarding it is to be part of their growth and development. I'm hoping to find a family where I can bring lots of love, laughter and positive energy into everyday life, while providing a safe, supportive and nurturing environment for your children and exploring a new part of the world.
I have been a long term nanny for multiple amazing families over the past 4 years. Some of these families include children since 6 weeks of age, children with developmental delays and also twins. I have also travelled overseas to Bali with one family, being the main carer of this child for the week. This job has taught me the importance of clear communication, responsibility and adaptability. I also bring humor, enthusiasm and an outgoing approach into these roles.
During my bachelor of nursing and midwifery double degree, I am trained in supporting child safety and have lots of experience with infants, including their feeding and care routines.
I am a qualified swimming instructor, and have done this for the past 4 years. This has allowed me to work with infants and children of all ages, and tailoring my lessons to support their individual needs. It's been a great opportunity to build rapport with children and their families while teaching them water safety.
I would describe myself as a warm, energetic and compassionate person, and I enjoy building genuine connections with the people around me. I really value integrity and having a growth mindset, both of which support me in navigating life with a positive and genuine approach. I love having a laugh and giggle with anyone, being super social and bringing positive energy into everyday life, but I also appreciate quieter moments and recharging through taking care of myself and my health. I am adaptable, independent and always willing to learn, and I hope to use these positive attributes to support a family as best as I can, and settle into a new part of the world I've never lived in.
I have completed my Bachelor of Nursing and Midwifery, and am beginning employment in August 2027. I have absolutely loved this degree and it has taught me so much resilience and critical thinking, and allowed me to work alongside women and families to make a meaningful difference. I completed high school in 2021 in Melbourne Victoria, with an ATAR of 95.10. I also completed my Cert II in Apparel, Fashion and Textiles at Holmesglen in 2021, as a two year subject in high school.
In my free time I play AFL at my local club, and am apart of the leadership team there. I absolutely love training and playing every week. It's like one big family and I'm so lucky to be apart of such a loving club. I also incorporate the gym into most of my days and go rock climbing with my friends a lot. I love pursuing my creative hobbies, such as sewing, pottery and arts. I'm trying to practice my crocheting too. I visited New Zealand last year and it has made me really interested in doing more hiking. I love fun, relaxing and grounding activities where I'm away from my phone, socialising and living in the moment. I spend a lot of time with my dog Asha, my family and my friends. I have some amazing circles of friends from different paths of lives, and we are always laughing and having fun together.
I speak English as my native language. I learnt some basic Auslan for a child I nanny during his speech delay. I am attempting to learn a bit of French, I've been on Dualingo for nearly a year for this! I also learnt a little bit of German in school.
I absolutely love caring for children, connecting with families and travel. Being an Au Pair would be the perfect opportunity to pursue these passions before I begin my job in nursing and midwifery in Australia, and it has been something I've dreamed of doing for many years. I would love to support and connect with a family, and explore a new place to live. I believe this opportunity would provide a lot of personal growth and hopefully some wonderful memories! I hope to build a lovely relationship with a family and stay in contact.
I have been vegetarian for the past 10 years. I am happy to prepare the children meat and support them if that's apart of their diet. I am happy to discuss this arrangement and cook my own food if required.
My resume as well as referees for previous jobs including nannying can be provided upon request.
Thank you so much for taking the time and consideration to read my profile and learn a bit about me. I hope to hear from you soon :)
