LAILA (21 / Ms. ), Spanish, Student - Social Science living in Spain looking for Au Pair & Nanny job in Spain for 10-12 Months

Dear host family,

My name is Laila, I am 21 years old, I was born in Barcelona and currently live in Cuenca (Spain) with my mother, my three brothers and the youngest member of the family, our canine pet Leo.

Being the older sister and my parents working all day, I have dedicated my whole life to taking care of my siblings, especially the little ones that we are 10 and 6 years apart from, since I was very little I have been in charge of taking care of them, thus how my love for this profession was born.

I have had the joy of growing up in a large, united, loving and very fun family, in which respect, trust and communication prevail. We usually vacation together and meet once a month to celebrate that we have each other, that's our motto.

In my family there are many children, so I am always surrounded by them, taking care of them and pampering them. In fact, my first experiences caring for and interacting with children was precisely with the children of my relatives and neighbors, whom I accompanied while their parents worked, which further strengthened my vocation, coupled with my parents' profession.

So far, I have taken care of 5 children with an age range between 4 to 12 years. I accompanied them from when I picked them up at school until the rest of the afternoon, together we did homework and attended their extracurricular activities. At home we practiced complementary entertainment and learning tasks, such as crafts, memory games, painting, singing, solving riddles, among others.

I made the decision to join this program because it is a springboard for my professional goals, which goes hand in hand with the education of children, a role that I love to play. Being an au pair will allow me to learn from you, your customs and your culture, while you also learn a little about my culture and language.

With love and gratitude,
Laila.
