I am First Aid Certified. I want to become an Au pair to learn more about the American Culture and doing it while I share my passion and joy of working with children and being like an older sister that I always wanted to be. It is a great way for improving my inner strength and getting to know myself out of my comfort zone. I believe that I am qualified and that I have mother like instincts, patience and love while working with children. I have enough strength and determination to fully embrace this opportunity.

My family hosted international people. This experience has made me curious, and encouraged me to do the same. I have an interest in people, which includes children (anthropology major). I adore children and would love to embrace a new culture while doing what I love. For me, the USA represents a wealth of opportunity for exploration and diversity. Not just the people but the landscape as well. As an au pair, I would be doing something that has natural fallen upon me while satisfying my curiosities about the USA. I hope to leave a lasting positive impact on the children and the people I meet in the USA. While leaving one's home is always a challenging experience, the exciting possibilities of expanding horizons outweigh whatever fears I might have.

**I have experience in caring with children with special needs.** Oscar-Lee, who I helped take care of, suffers from epilepsy, so I am experienced in working with children with chronic illness. I have a cousin who was born with cerebral palsy and I often help look after her. I am a very good singer, I love to be creative and I am very kind and nurturing. I truly love working with children, as it brings me a lot of joy. I want to travel, learn about new cultures and experience living in the USA. I want to learn more about who I am as a person, and I want to challenge myself and grow emotionally. I want to expand my world by making friends with people from all over the world, and I want to form very strong bonds with my host children and parents. I think that I am very kind, nurturing and giving, and all of these things will make me a good au pair.

I have a big passion for working with children and would like to become a teacher after my year abroad. I would describe myself as reliable, friendly, positive and open-minded. Going abroad as an Au pair has been a dream of mine for several years now. I love looking after children and being part of their development. I am so excited for this new chapter in my life and cannot wait to fall in love with my new siblings.

Between 2016-2018, I was a mentor and counselor for younger children in my high school. Here, I was responsible for 25 girls between 9-14 years old and I planned various outings and activities for them and helped them with homework. In February 2019, I helped in a nursery school where I took care of children between 3 months - 5 years old every day for one month. This included feeding them, playing with them, and putting them down for their naps. In March and April of 2016, I took care of Adin (1).

Finally, from 2016-2018, I volunteered in another nursery school where I was responsible for children ages 2-15 years old.

I want to au pair because I will be able to combine my love for travel and my love for children into one special experience. I love working with children and I love being around them. I also have child care experience in helping with children problems and being somewhat of a counselor for younger children in my high school program where I was a âBig Sister.â I want to live with another family, learn about their culture and their way of life. I want to make lifelong bonds with my host family, and with friends from all over the world. I am qualified for this program because I am very good with children, I am mature, I'm outgoing and adaptable and I will put my whole heart into this experience.

Comments
I had a volunteer jobs at the kindergartens and at the day cares. I love traveling and I love children even more that is why I decided to au pair because I can do both at the same time in the beautiful country that is the USA. I consider myself qualified, because I have experience in childcare and am independent, responsible, caring, dependable and hardworking. Babies and children crawl so deep into my heart, I can not imagine a life without kids running around, laughing and making you forget about your problems even if itÍs just for a while. I am hoping to gain much more independence from my au pair experience and also gain a second family from it. It would be great to spend a year in America taking care of children, more importantly spending a year taking care of your children and being a big sister for them.

Comments
I would love to get the opportunity to help a child grow and develop. This program will allow me to earn an allowance while studying. I will also get to explore a new environment and culture which I am very excited about. I come from a family that is very family-oriented. They have taught me responsibility, flexibility, respect, creativity, and punctuality. I love doing arts and crafts, I love to dance, I have a passion for baking, and I have had swimming lessons so I can definitely teach or assist in teaching the children to swim.
