Personal introduction

Hello, my name is Garance. I am seventeen years old and I recently graduated from secondary school. For six years, I lived in a boarding school, where I was in contact every day with younger students. Every week, I organised games and activities with them for about two hours. At school, I had good results. I am passionate about horse riding and running, and I also enjoy spending time with my family, to whom I am very close. I have two older brothers, four older sisters and many cousins with whom I get along very well. I am shy at first, but once I feel comfortable, I become outgoing, cheerful and kind. I really enjoy taking care of children, both young and older. I have had the opportunity to look after my educator’s child and also my cousin’s child, and it has always gone very well. I have also had student jobs in a company, such as sorting waste and helping in the human resources department. I would like to spend nine months in an English-speaking country as an au pair in order to improve my English and discover the culture. If possible, I would also like to take English lessons at the same time.
