Nanny in Vancouver, British Columbia

Dear parents,

My name is Tepnaree Kaewbuadee or Nan. I’m 27 years old. I’m from Thailand. I have experience in taking care of kids. I was an aupair in Bothell, Washington since September 2017 until September 2019. I took care of 1 girl who is 10 years old and 2 boys ages 4 and 2 years old. The oldest host kid went to school. I would spend most of my time with the 2 younger boys. I gave them breakfast and lunch, changed diapers, read books, sang songs, coloring, took them to the park and taught them the ABC’s and how to count numbers. I picked up my oldest host kid at school. and I also helped my host family to clean up the kitchen, living room and do laundry. I had worked 45 hours a week Monday through Friday, Starting at 8 am to 5pm.

I am adaptable, patient, highly responsible, manage time efficiently and I am a flexible person. Adaptation is important to work with people because everyone is born and grows up in different families, different cultures and different environments. So, I have to learn and adjust myself to live and work with others. I am always patient to every situation and highly responsible on all my duties that I have to accomplish. And I also manage time efficiently and I am a flexible person because I know that sometimes my host family have something that they have to finish on a certain time. So, I can help them as much as I can help. Taking care of children is another aspect that I always enjoy and I have a lot of fun taking care of them. I think they do not want anything from us except love and care. I want to supervise their learning and make sure they receive nutritious meals, which is important for the child development.

In Canada they have a program named Home Child Care Provider Pilot and here’s the process:

Now I have documents such as resume, dear host family letter, certificate of completion from Cultural Care Au Pair, education assessed from IQAS, FBI record, Washington driver license, graduation certificate, CPR,AED, and Basic First Aid certificate, IELTS English test result.

Thank you for your consideration and time. If you are interested or have any questions, feel free to message me.

Sincerely,
Nan


----------- Dear host family letter -----------

Dear Host Family,

First of all, I would like to tell you a little bit more about myself, so that you can get to know me better. My name is Tepnaree Kaewbuadee or Nan. I’m 27 years old. I’m from Thailand. My hometown is Loei. It is surrounded by mountains and it is a small province that has many tourist attractions such as Chaing Khan, Phu Kradueng, and Phu Rau. There are 5 people in my family, my father, my mother, 2 younger brothers and me. My father is a gentle man. I like to talk with my father about sports. Such as volleyball, soccer, badminton and wrestling. My mother is the most loving person in the world. I like to help her in the kitchen and make Thai food for my family. If I have problems, I get advice from her. My younger brothers are students. Sometimes I help them with their homework. And also, we have a cat named Mali. We sell camping stuff, shoes and clothes. Also, my relatives have their own businesses and many shops. So, when they were busy, I helped them with taking care of their kids. We are a big and close family. So, we always help each other. I love children. I really enjoy being around them. Taking care of children is another aspect that I always enjoy, and I have a lot of fun taking care of them. I think they do not want anything from us except love and care. I want to supervise their learning and make sure they receive nutritious meals, which is important for the child’s development.

I graduated bachelor’s degree in Faculty of Administration in Thammasat University. As I always have a passion for taking care of people with different kinds of backgrounds and nationalities. I learned about how to help people who have problems in their life such as poverty. My experience comes from being a social worker intern at Sahathai Foundation in Bangkok. I helped and gave advice to children and families who had problems in their life, visited their homes and evaluated their living conditions. Some people don’t know what welfare is and how it could help them. Helping them to help themselves is the objective of being a social worker. I always make sure that they are happy and receive great services from me whenever they come or leave. I have experience to take care of children at school. I took care of children aged between 10 months to 2 years old by giving them lunch, fed them milk, put them to sleep and played with them and I also took care of children aged 3-5 year old by playing with them, teach them, gave them lunch, put them to nap, fed milk and snacks. From my experience of taking care of people and children will help me to be a good caregiver.

I was an au pair in Bothell, Washington. I had a wonderful time with my host family. There are 5 people and 4 cats. I took care of 1 girl who is 10 years old and 2 boys ages 4 and 2 years old. The oldest host kid goes to school. I spent time with the 2 boys. I gave them breakfast and lunch, changed diapers, read books, sang songs, took them to the park and taught them the ABC’s, coloring and how to count numbers. I picked up my oldest host kid at school. and I helped my host family to clean up the kitchen, living room and do laundry. Sometimes it was hard to take care of 3 kids who don’t agree with each other and want something different, but I tried my best to give them both what they wanted. When I worked with them, I felt like they were my family. I gave them love and good care because if they receive good care, they will grow up a good person.

I am adaptable, patient, highly responsible, manage time efficiently and I am a flexible person. Adaptation is important to when working with people because everyone is young and grow up in different families, different cultures and different environments. So, I have to learn and adjust myself to live and work with others. I am always patient in every situation and highly responsible on all of my duties that I have to accomplish. And I also manage time efficiently and I am a flexible person because I know that sometimes my host family have something that they have to finish on a certain time. So, I can help them as much as I can help. In my free time, I like to try new foods, go to the parks, photography and listen to music. I like to hike because I lived in Washington state where there are many wonderful places to explore. The nature is so beautiful. I really love photography because it's so fun. It's my hobby which I can share my moments with my family and friends. Photography can describe my story and what I see.

Now I have documents such as resume, dear host family letter, certificate of completion from Cultural Care Au Pair, education assessed from IQAS, FBI record, Washington driver license, graduation certificate, CPR,AED, and Basic First Aid certificate, IELTS English test result.

My future plan is to become a business owner such as daycare owner. I think Canada is a country that gives people the opportunity to achieve their dreams in life. I viewed the opportunity of living aboard to live with a host family and to take care of the children as a reward of my life also I will be able to learn language, culture and learn new experiences. For me, living aboard is giving me more than theory. But I will also learn to embrace the new ways of living, learning to accept and learn to adjust myself to other people. These all require time, but I want to challenge myself to live in different country. I would love the opportunity to become a part of your family and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Yours faithfully,
Tepnaree Kaewbuadee (Nan)

To Whom It May Concern,

I cannot speak highly enough of Tepnaree (Nan). She was our au pair since September 2017 until September 2019, caring daily for our 3 children starting when they were ages 9, 3, and 1.

Nan’s schedule was consistent for the last 2 years. She worked 45 hours a week Monday through Friday, starting at 0800 to 1700. She was responsible for driving my oldest to and from school, washing the children’s clothes, light household chores, cooking kids’ breakfast/lunch, and picking up their toys in the play room.

Nan is very polite, caring, and patient. She taught my children to also be polite and to be responsible for their actions. Nan sang nursery rhymes with the kids and will also play with them throughout the day. Overall, she was a blessing to our family, and I know my children will miss her when it is time to go.

If we were able to extend another year, I would not hesitate in hiring Nan for the position. Nan is very responsible, clean, and respectful. She is the ideal candidate to have in your home. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about Nan. I would be happy to discuss her excellent qualifications at length.

Sincerely,
Mawar Stuart
Host Mom
