Letter to the family

Hi!
My name is Paige. I am 22 years old, and soon to be a college graduate with my teaching degree. I am originally from California and have attended college in Virginia for the last four years. I am the oldest of four children, all girls, and absolutely love it. Growing up in a large family meant I became a babysitter as early as I could be, and have babysat, nannied and cared for children since I was about 10 years old. I played softball and volleyball starting at age 5 all the way through high school, and my dad is a high school football coach, so sports is something I very much enjoy! I love traveling, going outside, going to the gym and running, cooking and watching movies, and thrifting!
Traveling is something I wish I could do all the time, and I do when I get the chance! I have close friends that have experience with being an Au Pair, and they can never say enough positive things about their time with their host families. Could I travel to another country without applying to be an Au Pair? Definitely. However, I would love to expand both my traveling and childcare experiences by caring for children in another country! I also feel that living with a family who is comfortable and familiar with a country that is foreign and unfamiliar to me is the best way to learn and get the most out of my experience!
Why should you host me? I am sure there are hundreds if not more, candidates that are excited about the opportunity to experience another country with a family. What makes me different? For starters, as I have mentioned, I grew up in a large family, which in it of itself gave me (and still is!) much experience with childcare. I helped my mom with my sisters when they were babies up until they reached their teens, and that is when sports become the after-school babysitter! With my degree in education, I also have classroom/teaching experience with children from kindergarten to 4th grade. I have the most classroom experience with 3rd grade, ages 8+9.

Experience

Traveling is again, something I thoroughly enjoy, and hope to keep doing! I have friends that have experienced being an Au Pair in countries such as Italy, France and Turkey. I also have friends that are full time nannies in places such as Charleston, South Carolina, Anna Maria Island, Florida and Newport Beach, California. It would be easy for me to find a family somewhere in the United States to nanny for and take care of, but traveling to Europe, or Asia is something I have pined for. My mom was an Au Pair in France during her senior year of college, and is my biggest supporter in all of this. She believes everyone should experience a different culture, environment, and sights, and I am right there with her. As I stated earlier, being with a family who is familiar with a country I am not seems like the best way to get the most out of an experience like this, while also forming new relationships.
