Personal introduction

I want to become an Au Pair because I enjoy supporting children in their natural, everyday learning—not only in the classroom, but also in the small moments of daily life. With 14 months of experience teaching in a Montessori enrichment class and my current role in an early childhood school that follows the Enhanced Finland Curriculum, I’ve learned to guide children with patience, respect, and curiosity. I’ve also worked closely with children with special needs in an inclusive setting, which has taught me how to observe calmly, respond sensitively, and create an environment where every child feels understood. Becoming an Au Pair is a meaningful next step for me because it allows me to bring my childcare experience into a family setting while learning from a new culture. I want to contribute to a child’s everyday growth and be a supportive, steady, and caring presence in their home. Through this experience, I hope to build strong cultural connections, develop new skills, and contribute positively to a family’s everyday life. I believe that becoming an Au Pair is a valuable step for my personal and professional growth, while also allowing me to share my care, responsibility, and positive energy with the children I look after.
