Introduction to families
Why do I want to become an au pair? The possibility to integrate into a community and network with professionals is offered via au pairing. The majority of au pairs start social groups where they work; which means it's a terrific way to meet new people. I have the chance to work with kids, contribute to their upbringing, and witness their development. This procedure can be and often is very satisfying. I’ll get the opportunity to earn a rewarding income while doing something that I love. What excites me most about living whit a host family? It’s going to be like a home away from home, living with a host family is an excellent chance to make new acquaintances and connections that will last a lifetime. Living with a host family will provide me the opportunity to learn the local language and culture while also developing my language skills. A word or two about why I enjoy caring for children. Working with kids gives me the chance to offer valuable knowledge, practical skills, and lessons about life on a daily basis. Children is like a spring of joy to me. They have such nice, pure personalities, and I love how honest they are. They are very brave despite being so vulnerable. They are enthusiastic and energetic. They are sincere and full of hope. The best, in their opinion, will occur. They display their feelings fearlessly and with such authenticity. Children are pleasant and stimulating, they keep me grounded, and they are open and honest. What skills I have learned while caring for children. When I was au pairing in Austria for a year I learned that you need a lot of patience. Being patience with the children as well as having patience with myself. Planning enjoyable activities and organising kid-friendly events, decision-making skills, problem-solving skills and compassion and empathy. What people, places, or things are important to me and why. My family and friends are the most important people and a close second is my pets, my mother is my rock, she is always there for me and will support me in everything I do. The beach is one of the most important things in my life, it calms me and help me clear my mind. I also love being in nature and going on hikes. I can go on and on about what I love, but mostly, I adore kids and enjoy spending time with them, so I would love to be your next au pair. Being a “big sister” to your kids means having responsibility for them, so I'm ready for that and I know that it won't always be play and good times.

I was an au pair in Austria, I would take care of the kids after school and make lunch for everyone. And during the holidays I would also keep them busy. I would go on holiday with the family.
