Zsófia, Tagesmutter (Lausanne - 1015)

Dear Families,

I’m 27 years old, raised up a bilingual family. I speak english, german, french , Hungarian. I studied as a exchange student in Austin, Texas USA. I got my BA in International relations in 2012.

I started to babysit in the US when I was 15. It's really common there, that the neighbours hire local teenagers to earn a bit of pocket money.

I applied for a babysitting course in 2008. After the course I worked in a kindergarten to gain some more experience.

From the first moment I knew this is THE job that I would prefer to do in my future. I love to play with kids, go to the playground, do creative things, sing.

I believe it’s hard to think of anything more socially beneficial than raising children well in one man’s life.

After the babysitting course, the agency started to send e-mails on a daily base.

I enjoy working with children and find it to be an extremely rewarding experience. I feel that I have all the necessary qualities that make a good babysitter.

I make sure that when I am working I take great care and exercise all precautionary measures to ensure the safety of the children. I also make sure the children are engaged in interesting and educational activities.

I am multi-skilled and happy to teach your children, and help with homework as well during the time I spend with them.

I am also happy to tidy up after them and cook for them. I have a friendly and approachable approach but I tend to keep my authority by making it.

I have had the opportunity of taking care of children between the ages of 0+ months to 13 years.

I have had stable jobs which I’ve been gifted to build strong, permanent relationships with.

I would mention my previous jobs, but of course if you are interested, I'm more then happy to talk about in private. I can also give You contacts / e-mail e numbers from the families I worked with.

I worked for 3, 5 years for a family, whom had 4 kids from Monday to Friday plus weekend evenings. I worked 10 hours / day. They had twin baby's who were just born, when I started to work, a daughter who was that time 4, and a son age 7. Those years were fantastic! We are still in a really close relationship. I'm more than happy to say, they are part of my family! The job ended because the twins turned 3, so they had to go to kindergarten, but we still meet and play whenever there is on opportunity.

Job description: I had to drive (I got my license in 2005 American, Hungarian, Swiss driving license) , do laundry, ironing, cleaning, washing, cooking, shopping...everyday chores that has to be done in a family.

I arrived to Switzerland in 2015 May, I have a valid B permit to work.

Currently right now I'M an au-pair in Lausanne/Switzerland for more then a year. I'm looking after 3 boys (7, 9, 11) but in the future I'M looking forward to work as a Live-out nanny and gain more independence and keep up with my french studies. They are really energetic and lovely. I would miss them a lot, but if I can stay and find a job we can see each other regularly. :)

My hobbies: I played piano for 11 years, went to choir, I’m a member of the US Girls Scouts, love to do voluntary work. I love to run in the mornings, I love outdoor activities.

If you feel I meet your requirements and feel I can be a good babysitter in your family, please contact.

I'm more than happy to tell you more about my experiences.

Thank you so much for your time to consider my letter.

I look forward to hear from you soon.
