Freya (22 / Ms. ), British, living in United Kingdom looking for Au Pair & Caregiver for elderly job in Austria, Germany, Italy & Switzerland for 3-12 Months

I would love to work within this sector, as I thoroughly enjoy working with others, assisting children in their development, and promoting independence in a supportive environment.

I feel working within new cultures offers many opportunities for development and to share my culture and experience with others to create a more rounded view of the world for all ages.

Previously when working abroad, I had a large variety of experiences. When working in Switzerland as a holiday nanny, I was responsible for 3 children under the age of 5, taking them out for daily activities, developing age-appropriate skills, and assisting with language and cognitive development. In addition, when working as a student paramedic, I have learned and utilised my specialist knowledge of all age groups' health, well-being, and emergency care. This put me in an expert position for all physical and mental health conditions for all age groups and abilities, with a deep theoretical and practical understanding of childhood development and wellbeing. I feel this enables me to be able to make sure I am supporting the family well, as I know what is expected.

From the ages of 15 to 19, I was a national competitive cyclist, and my career peaks at frequently competing within Europe at a semi-professional level. From this, I have learned excellent road safety and time management, which I can now apply and teach to all areas of life.
