Yuri (32 / Mr. ), Italian, Waiter/Waitress living in Italy looking for Nanny job in Canada, Denmark, Iceland, Saudi Arabia & Switzerland for >1 year

Dear Hostfamily,

my name is Yuri, I’m from Italy and I just turned 32.

I live in a little village in the north of Italy, which is about 1h from Milan, but only 20 minutes from the Swiss borders. My village is very quiet, but I also like living in the city.

At home we are 4: my Dad, who is a bus driver: my mum, she’s a hairdresser; me and my sister, who is 7 years younger than me. We also have a dog, Marlen, who spends most of his time sleeping on someone bed or on the sofa during the whole day.

When I was younger my mum always wanted me to do some sports, so I started swimming. I did it for a few years, now I feel comfortable in the water. I’m not the best, but I can play soccer too. I started volleyball. I was really into it. I stopped playing it because of the School, but I still enjoy it.

As regards other passions, I love cooking. I prefer to cook cakes, muffins, biscuits or sweets in general, but I think I’m quite good in savoury too. During the weekends I always help my grandma preparing lunch for everybody with homemade pasta, gnocchi or lasagne.

I’m quite organized and I like to create new routine every month.

When I was 15/16, I used to help my best friend looking after her two little brothers. They were very energetic and sometimes it was very difficult to calm them down when there were some fights. We always tried to keep them active.

At High School I studied languages (English and Spanish) and economy. I’m very bad in economy though and maths in general.

I want to improve my English, I love to travel and I thought working as an au pair in a foreign country would be perfect to improve my English and learn a bit more of your culture.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Yuri
