AUPAIR - REQUEST FOR HELP

Dear Mrs.Growden,

my name is Wolfgang Jürgensen, I am a pharmacist and member of the Rotary Club Husum which is a small town in Germany near the border to Denmark. I have a rather unusual request for you and hope that I don’t bother you too much with it.

My daughter Hanna is finishing her A-Levels in summer 2016 and before studying, she would like to spend some time as an au-pair in Australia.

Since there are so many girls who share this wish there is unfortunately just a limited amount of host families for all the applicants and it is very hard to get a job. Therefore she wants to try it besides from matching-portals on the Internet also in this way.

We saw on the Internet that there are a lot of Rotary Clubs in an around Sydney and decided to ask you as the District Governor for a favour. We would like to ask you if you could forward this Email to the Rotary Clubs in your area. We thought that since there are so many members in Brisbane there might be a little chance that there is a family who searches an au pair to start in July-October 2016 and wants to get know my daughter.

Hanna will be 19 years old in 2016 and would want to stay for 6-9 months in Australia. She has learned English since the 5th grade in school and has a lot of experience with babysitting children from 3-11 years old. She also has a driver’s license since February 2015. She is an uncomplicated and responsible person and is very interested in music, her hobbies are playing the piano, meeting friends and dancing.

Hanna would be very happy, if there would be the chance to get to know families via skype or email. Her email address is hanna-juergensen@t-online.de.

We hope that we did not bother you too much.

Kind regards from Germany!
Wolfgang Jürgensen
