Anna Ricarda (19 / Ms. ), German, Teacher living in Germany looking for Au Pair & Nanny job in China, Hong Kong & Taiwan for 4-6 months

I am currently working as an English teacher in a Chinese kindergarten in Liuzhou, Guangxi Province. My schedule is based on 16 work hours per week, excluding the time I additionally like to spend with my students. Next to teaching my classes, my work requires me to also take care of the children and to help them learn rules and disciplines. It is also important to have fun together and to learn together how to communicate. In fact, children master it very well to communicate with people although there is a language barrier.

Before coming to China, I have worked as an assistant teacher at my school. I taught Latin and English to younger students in the afternoon to help them improving their grades. My main goal was to teach them how to learn and not just how to pass tests. Even after graduating from High School I still keep in touch with my students which shows that they enjoyed learning together.

In my freetime, I used to sometimes take care of the little boy next door, aged 9 years old. I watched him grow up and often played with him boardgames or helped him with his homework.

After all those experiences, I want to use my knowledge and live with a family abroad, especially because I am in China already and I really enjoy living here. It would be a pleasure of mine to be given the chance to stay here longer and learn Chinese.
