Personal introduction

I want to become an au pair because I genuinely love being around children and enjoy caring for and supporting them. As the firstborn in my family, I have helped care for my younger siblings, which has taught me patience, responsibility and understanding. I have also volunteered at a children’s rescue centre because I wanted to spend time with children, support them and contribute to their wellbeing. This experience strengthened my love for working with children and made me realise how much I enjoy being around them. I would also love the opportunity to experience family life in another country, learn about a new culture and share my Kenyan culture with my host family. I see being an au pair as a meaningful cultural exchange where I can care for the children, learn from the family and create wonderful memories together.
