Persönliche Einführung

I’m a girl from Germany who just graduated high school and wants to fill her Gap Year with some fun experiences like an au pair. My hobbies are playing the Cello and singing, that’s why I am part of an orchestra and a choir in my hometown. The small town is known for being great to go by bike, so I hardly ever go by bus or car anywhere. There’s also a beautiful lake here, which allows swimming and going by canoe and SUP in summer and sometimes even ice skating in winter. I also like playing field hockey and I go on hikes and on sailing trips with my family and friends, which is really fun. I’ve always wanted to be an au pair abroad because I’ve always loved children and spending time with them. I think children are really fun and we can learn so much from them as adults as well or maybe especially as adults. Often when talking to kids I notice how they view the world very differently and that is pretty fascinating in my opinion. I really hope that wherever I go as an au pair I will have fun with the kids and vice versa of course! In addition to that, I think the au pair will teach me a lot about myself as well and hopefully give me some clarity about which role children can play in my own future life. I also really want to improve my language skills because I’m kind of scared I’ll lose to much of them now that I finished school and won’t be practicing in class regularly anymore. Since I love languages I’m obviously really interested in learning new ones as well, like I’ve always wanted to learn a language from Scandinavia for example! I speak German, English, French, Spanish, Catalan and Dutch and I have both the Dutch and Spanish nationality.
