There is always something to learn from kids. They keep you on your toes with their honesty, energy and creativity. I want to participate in the cultural exchange program because I have now seen a little of Europe and I am eager to learn more about the USA. I see myself as qualified as I now know what it is like to be a fulltime au pair and in South Africa I worked as a teacher's assistant and that also prepared me to know how to keep children occupied in a constructive way. My strengths are definitely patience and open-mindedness. I am also loving and kind. Quitting is not an option and I can communicate well.

This will be a new challenge, in a new country with a different culture, but my passion for children will remain the same. I have always wanted to experience American culture first-hand. Doing that while I am engaging in an activity that I am passionate about, is an amazing opportunity. It is also going to add to my experience for what I want to do after the cultural exchange program.

I have dreamed of becoming an au pair in the USA since I can remember. I feel this opportunity is a meaningful way to combine my love for children, to work with, and care for children. I want to experience a different culture while sharing my proudly South African culture. I would like to gain personal growth. I am adventurous and love traveling. My first aid knowledge, sporting skills, and the fact that I am a confident driver will be of great advantage as an au pair. I have experience working with infants in a neonatal intensive care unit which is incredible experience for any au pair to have. I believe that I am easy-going, loyal, caring and kind-hearted, which will make me an au pair/ big sister with whom children feel safe, free to be themselves, and whom they can trust wholeheartedly.

I always wanted to learn more about the USA and the American way of living. I would love to explore the different cultures and to be exposed to the USA and what it has to offer. I believe it is an opportune time for me to get to grow as a person, have my own independence and be able to provide for myself. I will be an excellent candidate in the au pair program as I come from a big family structure where there are a lot of children, big and small. I grew up taking care of them many times. I have a lot of experience when it comes to children as I used to be a babysitter for a number of families. I learnt to exercise patience which I think is an excellent attribute to have when you are working with kids.. I adore kids and they relate easily to me.

It has always been a dream of mine to travel, to see new places and to experience other cultures. I want to discover more about myself and I want to achieve independence and become the best version of myself. I also love working with children; they motivate me to be better, softer, open-minded, understanding and patient. The Au Pair exchange program makes it possible for me to keep working with children and doing what I love and it also gives me the opportunity to see the world. I have been working with children for quite a while and I feel that I have an excellent range of childcare experience. My strengths include prioritizing, being adaptable, motivational, being good at planning, understanding, communicating, entertaining, trustworthy and being empathetic. I am infant care qualified, mature and I believe that I have what it takes to be a successful au pair.

I want to become an Au Pair in the USA because I love children and I have always been passionate about childcare and working with children. I would love to do this in the USA so that I may travel and see a different part of the world, learn about different cultures and lifestyles and develop new skills and find myself in the process. I think I am qualified to do this because I have a lot of experience with children from years of babysitting for friends and family, I am very good with children as I am patient, kind, fun and caring and I am a very reliable and motivated person. I am good at arts and crafts, previous tutoring experience, can teach swimming lessons, first aid certified and I have experience with special needs - my brother had torrets and ADHD growing up and one child I babysat - Josh, had epilepsy. I also have experience catering for special diet needs such as gluten or lactose intolerance and peanut allergies.

It is an amazing way of seeing and experiencing more than what my home country has to offer. At the same time I can do this exploring while doing something I enjoy and that is spending time with children. I enjoy taking care of children and I find it easy to communicate and interact with them. My open and accepting nature helps me to easily build relationships. My creative spirit helps me to come up with fun activities to do with children. I can still be responsible and keep everyone on track while having fun. Getting to visit and know the USA better has always been a dream and I am looking forward to being part of this cultural exchange program.

My strengths are that I am organized and like to plan my day. I love to assist others especially when they are feeling down, I am an open and caring person. The reason why I want to au pair in the USA is that it will afford me the opportunity to do what I love, and that is to work with kids. At the same time I shall be able to explore a few states such as Texas, Utah, Ohio to name just a few. I also definitely want to visit Chicago. During my au pair year, I want to explore psychology or remedial studies further. I hope my year of cultural exchange will give me the opportunity to teach my host kids some skills and to let their confidence grow.
