Job description
As an au pair for Irina, my job expertise included picking up her daughter from Hazelwood Curro, ensuring she had a healthy meal, getting her ready for dance class, and taking her there. Additionally, I would often accompany her to dance classes and stay until her mom fetched her afterward, sometimes until as late as 18:00. Beyond dance activities, I also took her to the movies and provided engaging company for fun outings. We bonded over various activities such as baking and experimenting with different foods, fostering a strong and nurturing relationship every day.
