Vanessa (24 / Ms. ), Filipino, Freelancer living in Philippines looking for Au Pair & Live-in Tutor job in Denmark, Finland, Germany, Netherlands & Belgium for 12-24 Months

I have experience babysitting my younger relatives, ages 3–10. In particular, I looked after my 8-year-old cousin (F), who's in primary school, while my 6-year-old cousin (M) attends a special needs school. My duties looking after them include making their breakfast and helping prepare them for school. I assisted in bathing my 6-year-old cousin and developing his personal hygiene, such as brushing his teeth and teaching him how to use the potty. I pick up the youngest one from his school before noon and let him take a nap after lunch. If he isn't tired, we work on his speech improvement by singing nursery rhymes together or engaging him in coloring and drawing activities. On the other hand, I mostly spent my time doing crafts with the oldest one for her homework and improving her English skills through word games. Other responsibilities include cleaning, doing their laundry, tidying up their room, and washing the dishes during the morning since they are in school. Other than them, I also have brief experience looking after my 3-year-old nephew during the summer. I used to prepare his formula feed, change his diapers, and take him for his daily walk.

It improved my patience and ability to socialize and interact appropriately with kids, assess what their needs are, and ensure that those are addressed because looking after the kids can be tiring, and taking care of a kid with special needs requires great effort and understanding. I'm confident I can seamlessly integrate into your family and provide your children with an interesting, fun, and safe environment.
