A little bit about me

I am a flexible and easygoing person who has a large family. I am always around children so I am super comfortable getting in there and helping the kids get ready for school and making sure they are safe and dropped off. I am a student and am available in the early morning hours and in the afternoons. I am living with my boss as a personal assistant and he has a son who I do housekeeping and meal prep with along with taking him to school and tutoring. I have briefly worked with autistic children when I worked at the YMCA as a Kidz Zone attendant and used to be a swim instructor for kids also at the YMCA in college. Im good at adapting to families unique circumstances and hope you'll give me a chance.:)

A little bit about me

Hey there I'm Sarah. I've been working in childcare for 5 years and I want to continue working closely with families full-time as an au pair. The family I'm currently working for in Vancouver I absolutely adore I've stayed with them for two years and it has been such an incredible experience. During this time, I have taken up veganism something that has helped me reach my health goals and has been fun for me to learn how to cook food in a unique way. I go to the gym often and run a few times a week I also enjoy yoga and hiking. I'm also currently studying to become a nutritionist. I'm not going and happy person and very hard-working.
I've been working in childcare for around 5 years now, I started in The Netherlands as an au pair for a family with four children with ages ranging from an infant up to 13 so I've got all bases covered, from there I went back to Australia to study Early Childhood in a preschool and get my Certificate, after that I travelled to Vancouver to become an au pair yet again for two years. I would like to continue being an au pair in Australia as it is often flexible and fun enough to balance out my University needs.
I really enjoyed being an au pair in the past few years as it has allowed me to work closely with families and children instead of a classroom of 30 children I only got to spend five minutes with personally each. Being an au pair also has huge benefits in flexibility in allowing me to study nutrition as well as seeing various parts of the world.
