Introduction personnelle

Hello! I’m Anna. Taking risks lies at the core of every enriching experience I’ve had, even if at first it was discomforting. Signing up for a language course turned into becoming a student success manager and content creator for one of the biggest international communities, which opened my mind to the cultural diversity of personalities and opinions in the debate field. From styles of living to country policies, we don’t always agree on acute topics, but I spend hours ruminating the "why," the origin, through empathy and communication because there’s no right or wrong opinion. I became more patient and open-minded. Opening the doors of professional entertainment and event management started by entering Lavka Chizhika, a children’s bookstore where I craft with kids and organize birthday parties (bonding games, quests, physics experiments, dances, etc.) and festivals. The workshops I led included drawing with salt, string art, collage, Chinese lanterns, origami, painting with leaves and cotton swabs. But I’m also an adult, collaborating with sponsors, universities, and other bookstores’ representatives, recommending books to families, leading marketing campaigns, or being interviewed at a radio station. I know how to create a fun atmosphere, but I’m also responsible and attentive to details. Theater became a major transformative pursuit in my last two years of high school as I founded a local theatrical program at a school I transferred to. As we grew within limited resources, “Ahead of the Curtains” combined art with social activism. From advocating for modifications in the school curriculum, involving a struggling Tajik elementary school girl who couldn’t speak Russian, to themed getaways and festivals in different cities, we were becoming more capable of articulating our opinions confidently and fighting for freedom of speech and mobility through experimental performance, composition, and improvisation sessions. I self-design creative and inclusive approaches. Although I love to plan in advance, I’m flexible if things don’t go as planned. Au-Pair is an incredible chance to contribute to your child's or children’s development as well as an opportunity to get an authentic hands-on experience of living abroad. I believe these qualities and skills will facilitate my cultural adaptation and make me a great fit for your family.
