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.

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.

To go abroad as an au pair has been a dream of mine for several years now, mainly because I think it would be a great experience prior to studying to become a teacher. I absolutely love looking after children and being part of their development. I would describe myself as reliable, friendly, positive, and open-minded. I am excited about the possibility of discovering a new country and meeting new people. I am so excited for this new chapter in my life and cannot wait to learn more about my new host siblings.

From July 2017 to 2018, I babysat Karen (12) and Jackie (9) for about 3 hours a week. I kept them busy, entertained them, and fed them snacks and drinks.

It has been a dream of mine for a long time to au pair abroad and has always been something I have been working towards and I finally now have the opportunity. I believe I am qualified for the program because of my many years of experience, but not just that, I have always know that I will be working with children, and by au pairing I have received a glimpse into my future. I am a well situated and mature young woman who believes that she has the skill set to adjust in the new environment and also to give myself fully in order to invest in the lives of the children I am working with. I am a good planner and organizer, and time investment is very important to me. I know that the impact that I will have on the children will be small compared to the large impact that they will have on my life. Finally, I want to mention that I am first aid certified.
Child Care Experience
I worked in the daycare center with kids from 4 to 8 years old from June 2018 to June 2019. I entertained them, supervised them and planned their activities. Between September - October 2019 I took care of Mohau (3). I used to pick him up from school, entertain him, play with him, teach him the alphabet, read books with him, feed him and put him to bed.

I want to become part of this program because as much as I love being a chef, I love working with children more. I have a lot of childcare experience and I love children and they love me. I am kind, patient, calm and understanding. I want to develop my childcare experience and I want to become part of a new family and form a strong bond with my host family. I have never gotten the chance to travel, and I have finally saved enough money to make this dream a reality. I can now travel and explore a new country and culture while I getting to be part of a new family and getting to look after children. It all sounds like a wonderful dream and I can't wait! I am a social person and I believe I will bond with my host family easily and I believe I will be able to make friends from people from all over the world!

I wanted to become an au pair for the past six years. Children are my passion and being around them makes me happy. I would be doing something I love and it would be a great jump start towards my career choice as a kindergarten teacher. I'm very patient, loving and would do anything to help kids. I would consider myself qualified because I have many hours of childcare experience and I love the program and would give it my all. I have watched many online au pair experiences and to see that lifestyle and culture adaptation and independence that they all have in common, truly gets me excited and eager to embrace the same journey and I cannot wait for the same amazing experiences.

I want to become an Au Pair in the USA simply because it provides the opportunity to become part of a community and meet others different from me. It is also a great way to meet others from another country and continent. It gives me a chance to work with children who are exciting and have a hand in their upbringing. My strengths are that I am responsible, I have patience, I have great communication skills, I adapt easily and I am flexible as well as adventurous.

I want to be an au pair in the USA because I have never traveled abroad and want to experience a new culture and country while doing something that I love: looking after children. I am qualified to do this program because of my child care experience, my love of children, my hardworking nature, and my positive attitude. I am very diligent, trustworthy, and dedicated to this program. I take instructions well and I am adaptable and dependable. I am an active person and I like to be outdoors which I believe will aid in me being a good au pair.

The au pair program provides me with the opportunity to meet new people, discover different cultures, and develop myself as the role of a caretaker. This program gives me the opportunity to travel, explore, and build new experiences in all ares of my life. I am willing to learn and adapt to the responsibilities of becoming an au pair. I strive to help where I can and do what I must with all my tasks. My strengths are an ability to take initiative in critical moments, be supportive, and be steadfast in all my decisions. I have experience working with children with special needs.
