CHARACTER REFERENCES - CAE

Anna Kurtz
I have known Anna Kurtz for six years, both as a colleague and a friend. We first met at secondary school when we did two weeks' work experience together in a local kindergarten. Since then, I have got to know her very well and have come to appreciate her many talents. At present, we are both at the same teaching training college, learning to become primary-level teachers.

Whatever she does, Anna brings two outstanding qualities to her work_ a sense of responsibility and her ability to handle new and unexpected situations calmly and sensibly. She has always proved herself to be honest and hard-working in whatever professional situation she finds herself in, and gives the impression that she is acting in the best interest of others.
With children, Anna inspires confidence. She has a strong sense of discipline, yet children find her fun. In schools where we work, she is much liked and respected.

I regret having to say anything negative about Anna, but in the classroom she is not always very tidy. As a colleague this can sometimes be irritating, and it is all the more surprising because her bedroom in college is meticulously neat and clean. Nevertheless, it is not a major problem and doesn't really interfere with Anna's ability to do a good job.

For the reasons I have given, I have no hesitation in supporting Anna's application as an au pair. I believe she would care for your two young children very well.
