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
From February 2016 until September 2019, I have been an au pair for Christopher (12) and Chloe (7) for about 20 hours a week. This included fetching them from school, feeding them lunch, helping them with their homework, taking them to after school activities, and bathing them. 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. Additionally, during this time I also watched Reighardt (11) and Jani (8) and Anright (8) and Dreiden (6). Finally, I worked at a congregation with children ages 3 to 10 years old for about 2 to 3 days a month. Here, I prepared their lessons for the week, presented it to them, taught them creative activities, assisted the presenter, and communicated with the parents.

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
Between 2016 and 2019, I occasionally took care of Carter (8). I picked him up from school, prepared his meals, helped him with homework and entertained him. Between 2017 and 2019, I cared for Junior (8) and Keithan (10). I picked them up from school, played with them and helped them with homework. Last February, on my birthday, I decided to spend a day in an orphanage where I played with the children.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies

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.
Child Care Experience

Additionally, since February 2019, I have watched Mila (3) on holidays, weekends, and some evenings. I typically prepare meals for her, arrange play dates and activities for her, take care of her when she's sick, entertain her, and read to her. I also tutor Caren (10) and Philip (9) about twice a week in math and English and have done so since January 2018. Finally, since 2016 I have worked at an athletic academy that my brother and I started for kids ages 9 to 18 years old. We do this for about 10 hours a week.

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.
