Letter to the family

Hello, lovely to meet you! My name is Katherine, I'm 27 years old, and I currently live between Turin where I have been studying for three years and the United Kingdom where I work in the summer holidays.

I come from Cornwall in England, it's very beautiful and close to the sea and I grew up here with my younger brother and sister, playing with them and also when I was a bit older, helping out with childcare. I have practiced amateur circus skills for at least 10 years now, and three years ago I came to Turin to study circus at Flic Scuola di Circo to train to become a professional trapeze artist!

I am looking for an au-pair position to return to Turin and to help out and get to know a local family and work on my Italian language skills or teach English to the children, or French which I studied for 7 years and practiced while living in France for 6 months. I am also very eager to play games, engage in outdoor activities, educational or just for fun, share stories of my experiences learning circus and travelling, and join in with family life, maybe sharing some of the Italian cooking I have learnt, or perhaps it will be better if I stick to English desserts (my area of expertise is apple crumble)!

I am tidy and clean, and despite the circus stories, also very professional (I previously graduated in architecture and worked as an architectural assistant and low-energy building consultant), but I really enjoy teaching and working with children, and would love the opportunity to gain more experience in these areas while share my culture with an Italian family.

Also, just to note, my very first experience in Italy was in 2016 when I was based near to Lake Como as an English Summer school teacher and stayed with two very lovely families, each with two children, and I guess I couldn't help wanting to come back!

I look forward to hearing from you!

All the best,
Katherine

Experience

As an older sister, and having worked in summer camps and teaching circus skills workshops to many age ranges and various groups of children over the years, I have an energetic and playful yet calm way of teaching and entertaining individual children and small to medium sized groups, or larger in a classroom setting.

As someone who loves reading and learning, I am eager to pass on this passion for learning more about what interests you, and I am a strong believer that learning doesn't just happen in the classroom, that the life experiences you are exposed to really shape who a child becomes and the enthusiasm of the closest people around can really provide a positive influence on a child's approach to learning and life.
