I took English as a subject in high school and am looking to major in English in University as well and teach english overseas . My motivation for becoming an au pair comes from my love for working with children and my interest in experiencing new cultures in a meaningful way. I see this opportunity as a chance to not only support a family by caring for their children, but also to grow personally by learning a new language, adapting to a different lifestyle, and building lasting relationships. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children, and I’m excited to contribute positively to their daily lives while becoming part of a new family and community . I can start anytime from January 2026 and can stay for about 6-12months depending on what you as my host family want. During my au pair stay, I hope to become a valued and trusted member of the family, creating a warm and supportive environment for the children. I expect open and respectful communication so we can understand each other's needs and expectations clearly. I’m looking forward to learning about your culture, traditions, and daily life, and I also hope to share aspects of my own background with you. I understand that living in a new country comes with challenges, but I’m excited for the experience and committed to growing from it. Most of all, I look forward to building genuine connections and making meaningful memories together. I am hoping to becoming an older sister to the kids I'll be au pairing.
