Nazarena, giovane ragazza alla pari a Meilen

Liebe Familie,
Ich suche ab Mai 2025 eine Stelle als Nanny (mindestens 30 Stunden pro Woche). Ich bin 26 Jahre alt und komme aus Argentinien. Im Februar 2023 bin ich als Au-pair in die Schweiz gezogen. Ich habe mehr als 3 Jahre Erfahrung in der Kinderbetreuung und spreche fließend Spanisch und Englisch sowie Deutsch auf mittlerem Niveau.

My childcare journey spans diverse countries (Argentina, France, Switzerland) and roles (nanny, au pair, volunteer tutor), caring for multiple children simultaneously of various age groups (6m-12y.o.). This experience has enabled me to cultivate a versatile skill set, tailored to children's unique needs, fostering environments that promote both learning and enjoyment. Skills such as multitasking, organization, resourceful problem-solving, attention to detail and effective communication make me a fast learner and a valuable team member in every family I have the pleasure to join and help.
Working with children has always resonated with me. Their honesty and creativity inspire me, and I cherish the unique role I can play in their lives. I approach this responsibility with the utmost seriousness, recognizing that being a part of their upbringing impacts their development.
My commitment to childhood education is reflected in my active engagement in professional development opportunities. My educational background in psychology equips me with a deep understanding of early childhood, family dynamics, and educational principles. Moreover, I have pursued specialized training in teaching languages, as well as reading and writing abilities. I also hold a certificate in life-saving skills for children and assistance against gender-based violence, showcasing my dedication to creating a safe and nurturing environment for children's growth.
Working as an Au pair, I also carry out overall household management activities like cooking nutritious meals, managing school homework, taking the kids to and from extracurricular activities, planning play dates and fun outings, cleaning after the children, grocery shopping, doing laundry, tidying up rooms and closets, packing for trips, and walking the family dog.
My personality can best be described as curious, empathetic, open-minded, responsible, patient, and confident. I have a wide range of interests that span from music, sports, literature, feminism, history, and environmentalism to exploring different cultures. Sociability comes naturally to me, and I thoroughly enjoy meaningful conversations and meeting new people.
Another highlight of my personality is my strong connection with my family. Despite geographical distances, we remain tightly knit through regular communication and unwavering support for each other's endeavours. This familial bond underscores the values I bring to my interactions both within and beyond the workplace.
I hope that this letter has given you a glimpse into my character and perspectives. I trust that my qualities resonate with your vision and needs. Thank you for considering my application.
Sincerely,
Nazarena.
