儿童照看经验
While I have not yet worked as an Au Pair, I have extensive experience caring for and mentoring children as a camp counselor. Since middle school, I’ve volunteered at summer camps for one to two weeks at a time, but this summer, I stepped into a full-time role in Pennsylvania. I am currently living in a cabin with ten amazing and sweet girls, along with a co-counselor, caring for them day and night. I guide, support, and build close relationships with each of them, offering both structure and friendship.
In addition to living with and mentoring these girls, I also facilitate daily activities for the entire camp, working with children ages 9 to 17. From arts and crafts to outdoor adventures and evening devotionals, I’ve learned how to lead, connect with, and care for each child in a thoughtful and personal way. This experience has been truly life-changing, it’s shown me how fulfilling it is to be a mentor, a support system, and a joyful presence in a child’s life.
I want to become an Au Pair abroad because of my deep love for working with children and my passion for cultural exchange. Children inspire me with their creative and curious minds, their honesty, and the way they view the world with such openness and wonder. Their kindness and emotional insight remind me of the beauty in simplicity and the value of genuine connection, things that are often forgotten as we grow older.
I’m also drawn to the adventure of living abroad. I want to be immersed in a new culture, learn different ways of thinking, and experience both the joys and challenges of life outside my familiar environment. I believe stepping into someone else’s world—while caring for their children, is a powerful and meaningful way to grow, serve, and connect.
