Personal introduction

I want to become an au pair because I see this experience as much more than simply looking after children. I would love to become part of a family, share their everyday life and build a genuine relationship with the children. I have always enjoyed spending time with children, and my different babysitting experiences have made me realise how much I enjoy getting to know their personalities and being part of their daily lives. I also want to discover a new country and a different way of life. Going abroad is, for me, a way to step outside of what I already know, discover another culture, meet new people and broaden my perspective. It is also a way to step outside my comfort zone, become more independent and prove to myself that I can adapt to a new environment. Improving my English is also an important goal for me. I would like to become much more comfortable speaking English and be able to communicate naturally in everyday situations. What I particularly like about being an au pair is the idea of a genuine exchange: learning from my host family while also sharing my own language, culture and experiences with them. I am curious, open-minded and genuinely excited about this experience.
