Child Care Experience
I watched a group of children ages 2 to 5 years old during the holidays from April to December 2018. This included feeding them, taking them to the bathroom, taking care of them, and assisting them as needed. Currently, I babysit two boys ages 3 and 4 for 4 hours a week, as needed, and have done so since June 2018. I feed them, bathe them, prepare lunch for them, change their diapers, and put them to bed. Finally, from October to December 2018, usually during weekends or as needed, I babysat Jude (5) and Lily (2). I would typically perform all of the basic tasks needed for their general well-being.

I want to become an au pair because I feel that I will have a positive influence on my host family's life. I want to use this opportunity to show you more about my culture as well as learn more about yours. I love learning new things and I feel like this is a step in the right direction. I am a skilled swimmer and participated in numerous activities during my high school career including athletics and school plays.
Child Care Experience
I worked at a primary school with children ages 7 to 9 years old for 25 hours a week and children ages 8 and 9 for 6 hours a week from April to June 2018. I would help the teachers with their curriculum, help out at fundraising events, supervise the students, coach netball, supervise their games, and learn from the teachers. From July to September 2018, I worked at an all girls school with children ages 6 to 9 years old for about 26 hours a week where I would help the girls learn the curriculum, supervise them, help out at carnival day, and help teach them tennis. I also worked at Creative Academy for the month of January 2016 for 30 hours per week. The children here were 4 to 6 years old and I helped plan and present the lessons, supervised them, and played with them. Currently, I babysit Gaby (10) and Tiago (5) a few times a month, as need, and have done so since 2015. When babysitting them, I supervise their homework, entertain them, and drive them to and from their various activities. Finally, since November 2018, I have babysat Itamar (15), Evitiar (12), and Omar (7) for 3 hours a week. I take them to and from school, provide general child care, and help them with their homework.

I want to become part of an American family because I absolutely love young children which is why I have studied a degree in childhood development. As a 4th year student, I just completed 20 hours of practical teaching and I have thoroughly enjoyed guiding them, bonding with them, and seeing them develop and this is what I would like to do more of as an au pair. I want to be able to travel as well as learn from different people in a brand new setting. I feel like my biggest strength is patience as I believe that children need to develop at their own pace.
Child Care Experience
In 2018 I worked at two different daycare centers with children 3 months to 5 years, about 10 hours a day, every weekday for 2 months each. I supervised the children, assisted in feeding them, changing diapers, bathing them, teaching them basic school knowledge. In 2014 I was looking after Darata (1) and Dermarchio (3) every weekday, feeding them, changing diapers, going on walks, and keeping them busy. Since July 2018 I have been looking after Hayzel (1) occasionally, feeding her, bathing her and putting her to bed.

I love helping children develop their skills and I believe I am equipped to do so. I would also like to experience something new and out of my comfort zone - learning about different cultures and see a little more of the world. I also believe my skills gained at the daycare centers that I volunteered at will aid me in developing the children I will care for in an educational way.

I want to become a teacher one day and I believe this experience will prepare me for my future as a teacher. I am currently a student teacher at a daycare for children aged 2-5 years thus do I have the skills to deal with children with different personalities and different ages. I received my high school diploma with two distinctions, my subjects varied and thus do I have a wide range of general knowledge. Children absolutely love me and look up to me. I've also been working at a restaurant for 2 years which have taught me excellent communication skills with people with different personalities. It has also taught me great listening skills and how to follow orders correctly. I want to learn as much as possible about the American culture and bond with my host family and make friends from all over the world.

I have always wanted to be an au pair, to live with a foreign family while looking after their children. I would like to learn more about the American culture and lifestyle. I already au paired in Europe for two families (each a year) and I am still in contact with them. I am a responsible, independent person and I love helping children grow to reach their full potential. I have always had wanderlust and being an Au Pair gave me the opportunity to explore and see other parts of the world. While being an Au Pair in Europe I traveled to about eight other countries. Experiencing unfamiliar places and cultures is very important to me and growing as a person. It helps with the understanding of others and where they come from. Being an au pair abroad and house-sitting has taught me about responsibilities and it has also helped me become independent. It has enriched my life and broaden my perspective on various matters. I look forward to exploring America next and joining your family!

I want to become an au pair because I love working with children whether it is playing Lego's with them, teaching them or helping out with something. I love the feeling of seeing the smile on a child's face when they are enjoying themselves or when they get something right. I would love to learn more about America's culture and there traditions and what better way than being and au pair and working with children wile getting to enjoy the beautiful country trough the eyes and mind of a child. I consider my self qualified because I have previously worked with kids and I enjoy working and spending time with them because they are unique and we can learn a lot from them as well as they from us. My strengths would have to be my patient when working with kids and that I love to keep them busy and entertained.
