Letter to the family ⭐️ Dear Future Host Family⭐️ Hi! My name is Payton, I’m 20 years old and from the United States. I’m full of energy, creativity, and I have a deep love for children. ✨ Why Au Pair? I’ve always felt a natural connection with kids — their imagination, honesty, and joy inspire me every day. Caring for them fills me with happiness, and I find it incredibly fulfilling to support their learning, growth, and emotional well-being. Being an au pair is the perfect way for me to combine my passion for childcare with my dream of living abroad. I’m eager to immerse myself in a new culture, learn different languages, and become a loving, active part of a host family. I genuinely believe that the best way to learn a language is through play, crafts, stories, and everyday conversations with children. It’s a beautiful way to connect through kindness, creativity, and curiosity.

I like to describe myself as a “free-range nanny” because I believe in creating enriching, real-world experiences for the children I care for.

Hello, my name is Dawn. I am 56 years young, married & a homemaker. I have a successful, 23 year old son & a wonderful husband. I have been babysitting children of all ages since I was 14 years old, from infants to pretweens, in addition to the experience of raising my own child full time. When he was old enough, neighboring & school friends would come over to our house, at which point I would then become the official babysitter for them. For the last 1-1/2 years, I have been babysitting a beautiful, intelligent 10 y/o girl, M-F every morning before school. I then drop her off at school & wait to make sure she is safely inside before I leave. Previous to this job, I was simultaneously a part time nanny to an adorable 16 month old little boy 2 days a week for 2 years, as well as a part time nanny 2 other week days to a sweet 3 y/o little guy & his 1 y/o adorable baby sister for 6 months. I love all my kids, and treat them as if they were my own. It always amazes me how little it takes to put a lot of joy in a child's day. I can provide that, as well as so much more. Every smile a child gives me puts joy in MY day. I took a baby care class at Bronson which included choking, bed, house & car safety. I am CPR & First Aid certified. I am loving, caring, reliable, patient, honest & trustworthy. I will follow your every instruction to the letter. I will help you in any way I can if the opportunity arises or your little one is napping. I never take my eyes off of my kids. Even when they are napping, I check on them regularly to make sure they are safe. I would be honored, if given the opportunity to care for your little one. I am vigilant, loving & respectful. You can rest assured they will be left in the most diligent, reliable, loving and caring hands possible. I exemplify manners & respect. I will guide & encourage him or her through their next steps in the growth process, whatever those may be. Last but not least, my own rules: NO electronics on kid time! I am not on social media of any kind. No one texts me on a regular basis. No visitors! Never answer the door! Doors always locked! I will always have my phone close by in case you call me or I need to call you or in case of emergency. Thank you for your consideration. I wish you the best of luck in your search! Respectfully, Dawn JH
