Hi! My name is Uni and I’m a 21 year old from Finland looking for to become an Au Pair! I’m very social and I love having people around me. Family and friendships are important to me and having good connections really drive me in life. I did an exchange year in Germany during high school so moving abroad to a new country and family is not completely new to me. Being able to live in a new country and learning more about a new culture as well as learning more about myself is one of the many reasons I want to become an au pair! Even though I don’t have an education in child care, I spent the last two years working as a school assistant and as a substitute teacher and I really enhanced my skills of working with children. Right now I’m also working as a personal caregiver for a 17 year old girl in wheelchair. I have also babysat children of friends and family. I think being an Au Pair is a great way to learn about other cultures and languages while also being able to teach about your own. I have studied English, French and Swedish in school and because of my exchange year I also speak German really well. I think I qualify as an Au pair because of my work experience, my social and language skills and genuine interest in working with people and taking care of children.
