Bahar (21 / Ms. ), Turkish, Student living in Türkiye looking for Au Pair & Nanny job in Australia, France, Sweden & Switzerland for 3-9 Months

Dear future host,

Hi! I hope you and your family is doing well. My name is Bahar and I am 20 years old. I am from Turkey. I attended a university law programme last year but after a series of personal issues and dissatisfaction I decided to change my major and my school. Before commencing my studies in software engineering / applied mathematics I always wished to be able to explore the world while gaining my independence. I am an only child but I have a lot of cousins. They were all older than me so my first experience with childcare was when they had children. Ever since 2015 I kept spending at least a month every year with my aunts and cousins and their children taking care of them and spending time with them. Now during this gap year I find myself lacking personal interactions, the children have started school and the elderly family has moved away and it's harder to spend time with them. Then I heard about the idea of au pairing from a friend, which allowed me to both strengthen social interactions, gain work experience and earn money and also learn the language. I am planning on attending some Scandanivian universities particularly so the ability to learn the local language while au pairing would be a great oppurtunity for me.
