Letter to the family

Hello! My name is Alexandria. I am currently 20 years old and in my third year of university at Rutgers University studying Political Science and Sociology. I have hopes of going to Law School after university.. Right now I am studying abroad at Cardiff University in the United Kingdom!

I have always wanted to be an au pair because of the true cultural immersion you get in a country that you love, and to also be a part of another family in new ways. I am very easy-going, and love just experiencing daily life. I am very good with children, and I have helped raise my younger brother as well. I am patient and calm, which are both good traits when it comes to helping children.

I love traveling and have experience living in new places with new cultures. I have tutoring experience through writing and English, and due to my major, I have experience reading advanced and dense literature. My strengths are in reading, writing, and history. So if there is any need for a live-in tutor in regards to English or studies surrounding the sort I am more than capable to teach and assist with.

I also have experience working with children, I spend my summers volunteering with foster youth and running holiday programs such as Christmas events, clothing drives, and just assisting in the group home. I also have experience babysitting children around pre-school age. We would bake together, go to the park, and I would help with his homework.

When it comes to the home, I am tidy and neat. I can cook well and a hobby of mine is baking. I love being outside and being able to integrate myself wherever I go.

Experience

I want to travel, but I do not want to see a place for just a few days then go back. I want to immerse myself into the culture, the people, the holidays, and even the food! I have a passion for both teaching and learning. I find that learning is a skill in and of itself, and that you need to have an open heart and an open mind. I also love learning languages and the traditions from wherever I am at.

Being abroad right now for studying abroad made me fall in love with living somewhere completely new, and I would like to do that again with an entirely new experience! Essentially I have experience with building a life for myself and providing a structure than benefits my life wherever I am at.

And I also have the stamina to keep up with kids running around!

About me

I love to be outside, whether that is golfing, hiking, or just soaking in the sun. I stay rather active as well! I am a HUGE book nerd, and read nearly anything I can get my hands on. The history of ancient civilizations has been a life-long love, and I can actually read Egyptian hieroglyphics! Essentially, history and literature are what I adore. As I said previously, I bake a ton, and I find new recipes nearly each week to try! (Which makes my flatmates very happy, haha!) After being an au pair and live-in tutor, I plan on finishing my last year of university and apply to both law school and PhD programs since I am deciding between the two. I truly have fallen in love with academia and want to continue it for the rest of my life.
