Bianka (19 / Ms. ), German, Student living in Germany looking for Au Pair job in France, Italy & Spain for 1-2 Months

My love for social contacts goes beyond the same age groups and has a huge impact on the younger generation. Kids tend to like me since I am very friendly and like to play and move, no matter what. I am energized and never tired of doing things actively. Additionally, I already collected a lot of experience while working as a sports trainer for two children's groups, one in the swimming pool and the other one in the gym. There I prepared different tasks and exercises the kids should do on their own and always tried to motivate them to give their best and make small progress.
Besides that, I regularly get asked to organize birthday parties including make-up, treasure hunts, games, and other programs, which is something I am very good at. While working with kids or preparing such events I can free my inner artist and enroll my creativity to the fullest. Not to forget is the fact that I also worked as a mascot before theater shows to entertain the little ones and hand out sweets or candies. I am an above-average student with only very good grades, of which I could also take a lot of advantage. Giving tuition in various subjects helped not only my sister but also my friends and a lot of younger students from various schools.
It is amazing to see how the knowledge of kids can be embraced and how they grow and mature step by step. Providing such services is a win-win situation for both parties because I can also learn from kids by taking some situations less seriously for example. Drawing, sewing, and handcrafting are hobbies of mine that only children can satisfy since there is no time for them in the everyday life. Reading books out loud for them or singing and dancing to music are activities I could also myself engaging in. Even being on the playground is fun for me, same with playing hide-and-seek or snaring.
When we are in Poland, I see many of my 5year old cousins and usually take care of them together with my sister. Being foolish and making jokes or cooking for them never gets boring.
Additionally, my two-week-long internship in an epilepsy center let me spend time with kids that had some disabilities. During this period, I learned to see the world with different eyes and realized that those people with special needs are not drastically different than others since love, sympathy, and compassion connect everyone.
