Hello!
My name is Selma and I am 19 years old (born in 2004). I am living in Sweden, Gothenburg with my two parents, two sisters and one food crazy dog. I have a high school degree in technology specialize in industrial design and looking for something to do during my gap year before I am applying for college/university.

I was very ambitious in school and I studied a lot. My favorite subject is math, but I also like to be creative so I also studied design.

I want to be an Au Pair because I love working with children and I have done that a lot as teenager. I played football for a long amount of time but had to quit because of injury, but when I played I worked as a football leader for kids two years in a row. One year I took care of 37 ten year old boys and 18 6´six year old girls. I also have work experiences as a preschool teacher when i helped and took care of children from 1-4.

I think my experience with kids can be a useful key to really bond and connect with the kids. I love to be active and i have a very active lifestyle. When I was younger I were often outside and played. I love sport and to exercise so I have a lot of energy that i want to spend with the kids. We are gonna have to see who is gonna be tired efter we play, me o r the kids ;).

I am also freshly out from school and as I mentioned earlier with my experience from school I can be able to help the kids with their homework but also give them keys how to study and study efficiently and how to be organized and be prepared.

Experience

I am adopted from China and I want to learn more about the country I was born in. I have traveled to china 4 times before, but I see a life as an Au Pair as a great opportunity to learn and experience more about the Chinese culture than just a tourist.

Right now I am working in a restaurant called Yubi Asia. It is a little restaurant and the majority are from China and speak Cantonese. So lately I my interest have focusing on China and it's culture. Lately I am also been trying to learn Mandarin because the town I was adopted from (Tónggǔ Xiàn) they talk Mandarin. I would love to be able to understand it and learn it. I also view this trip as an extremely fun way the get exposed to the Chinese language all the time and to learn it from you and your kids.
