Letter to the family

My name is Victoria Steelheart.

I was born in Venezuela and I have lived there during all my life, and I love my country. My ethnic situation is quite particular because I am the daughter of Venezuelans whose parents are foreigners, so in my family and in my life in general, interculturality has always been a matter of fact and an important issue, not to mention an existential condition.

My paternal grandmother is indigenous but when she was young she moved to the capital to study literature at the Central University. My paternal grandfather is Italian and moved to Venezuela with his parents because of the postwar period, and he is a doctor in semiotics. My paternal grandfather was German, and his wife, my grandmother, Venezuelan.

So, as you can see, it's a complicated mix!

I have decided to apply as an Au Pair and Live-in Tutor because from my previous experiences taking care of children, I can say that they have been very rewarding, because I enjoy it very much, besides I consider that I have a vocation to teach and educate, especially in the field of languages.

Furthermore, I am a very responsible, organized and caring person. I believe that I can manage very well in any cultural context as long as there is respect and kindness in between.

In addition to my experience taking care of children, both in and out of my family, I have always given great importance to my education and my thirst for knowledge. I studied music in a conservatory, I play the cello and I started my career in Modern Languages. Moreover, I enjoy reading books and the creativity of developing new ideas that will later lead us to a more fulfilling life.

I think I can be a positive influence in a child's learning process.

Experience

I have worked as a nanny for children between 1 and 6 years old, some have belonged to my family and others have belonged to close friends or simply contacts. I have considered babysitting as a part time job in order to have extra income while I continue my studies.

In addition to this, I have also worked as a freelance English and Spanish teacher to children and young adults, and I have given music lessons to young children in my conservatory.

In these activities my skills are very good, since I am patient and I like to innovate with more interactive and fun teaching methods, because the human being, and children in particular, can lose attention very quickly.

The opportunity to continue traveling and getting to know other languages and cultures enthusiasms and delights me a lot, especially if it is teaching and taking care of children, which I enjoy.

About me

Since I was a little girl I have always grown up surrounded by art, which is why I think that nowadays most of the things I do are related to it. I have done photography, composed music for short films, played in orchestras in Venezuela, been in chamber music choirs, studied languages at the university, which I have not been able to continue because I moved to another country, but it is something that I will resume soon, once I decide where to stabilize. Studying archeology is another plan I have in the very long term, once I have achieved some economic independence and I can dedicate time and study to those other things that I also like. These are plans and maybe dreams that I am developing step by step, and that will take better shape after living a few experiences as an Au Pair.
