Letter to the family

Hello, my name is Talycin. I am keen to become an Au Pair as I have a passion for working with young people and I am looking to combine this with a cultural exchange.

A cultural exchange appeals to me as I am looking to be immersed within the Italian lifestyle. I believe the best way to embrace every aspect of life in another country is to, hopefully, become a part of a family who lives there rather than to just be a tourist. My own family have been a host family to foreign language students since I was 8 years old, so I have an understanding of how it feels to be on the other side of a cultural exchange. Whilst I admit my Italian language skills have a lot of room for improvement, I hope to master the language during my stay and in the near future. It is important to me that I have this experience because I think it will teach me invaluable lessons about myself and about life. I wish to do this experience in Italy as, not only does it appear to have a wonderful culture, but I have several close friends who are Italian and I feel that it will bring me closer to them. It would be my pleasure to experience this meanwhile helping and supporting a family.

Experience

In London, I have undertaken the role of a "Special Educational Needs Higher Level Teaching Assistant" for the past year and a half. This has allowed me to come into contact with a diverse range of children between the ages of 11 and 19. My time at the school further encouraged my enthusiasm for working with children and giving them the best possible foundation in life to help ensure that they become well-rounded individuals. This also helped greatly when developing my interpersonal personal communication skills and my ability to work as part of a team. During my time at this school, I have joined the students on several residential trips, where they take part in a range of adventurous activities and sports. I thoroughly enjoyed supporting them throughout the valuable experience, as well as the the more typical caregiver role I had to take on while working between the hours of 6:00 and 23:00.

Prior to this, I worked as a nanny for two children, ages 8-10 and 12-14, between the hours of 9:00 and 17:00. Whilst working as a nanny, I built a strong, effective relationship with both the children, establishing trust, boundaries and routine that were sensitive to their individual needs both at home and in unpredictable and unfamiliar environments. Through this I also learnt to take on a flexible approach, ensuring that I was always prepared to accommodate any changes in priorities.

Prior relevant work placements/experience also include: shadowing Speech and Language Therapists, tutoring as well as further teaching assistance at both UK secondary schools and an international primary school.
