I have gained experience in childcare through different situations over the past few years. I completed internships in primary schools, where I supported teachers and helped children with classroom activities and learning. These experiences taught me a lot about working with young children and made me realize how much I enjoy it.
At home, I regularly took care of my younger siblings and occasionally looked after my little cousins as well. I also supported one child over a longer period of time as a tutor in German and Math. It was very rewarding to see how much progress we made together and how much confidence the child gained.
All of these experiences have shown me how much I enjoy working with children — being there for them, helping them learn, and simply having fun together.
As an au pair, I hope to become more than just someone who helps with daily tasks — I would love to be integrated into the family like a big sister to the children. Feeling welcome and being part of family life is very important to me. I look forward to sharing everyday moments together, from mealtimes to small traditions, and learning how a family in another country lives and thinks.
I am also excited to experience a new culture firsthand, not just as a tourist, but as someone who is truly involved in daily life. I believe that living with a host family is one of the most enriching ways to grow as a person, discover new perspectives, and become more independent and open-minded.
In addition to family life, I’m also looking forward to meeting other au pairs, making new friends from different countries, and sharing our experiences. I hope to build connections that last beyond my time abroad and to return home with unforgettable memories and a broader view of the world.
