Letter to the family

Dear host family!

I am looking forward to my first experience as an Au pair. I mostly appreciate in this program the opportunity of cultural exchange. And I also find true inspiration communicating with children because with them I can genuinely live in the simple moments and enjoy the life :)

MY MOTIVATION
I love traveling in a slow-motion, staying and working alongside with local families and communities. It helps me discover more ways of living, learn about family traditions and gain a broader perspective on what life is.
I have visited different places in Russia, Latvia, Germany, Mongolia. This June I went to the US, worked in a family resort on San Juan Islands, WA. Then I visited a couple families and a community as a volunteer-helper (though workaway program) in Washington state, California, Arizona and Maryland.
You can also find me on Helpx and on Workaway (the platform doesn't allow me to leave the links here)

Experience

I worked as a nanny for almost 3 years in a family with two kids. I started helping them when the little girl was 1 year old and the elder one was 6 years old. This was just a side job for a couple times a week, but the time I was spending with kids became an essential part of my life.

I also had a pleasure to spend a lot of time with elementary school kids, playing with them and teaching them some handycraft and music, which you can see on the pictures.

I have never worked as an Au pair yet, but I have a rewarding experience of living as a volunteer in a Camphill community in Russia with a family, who adopted one-year-old boy. I lived there for ten months and I used to spend time with the little boy, playing, walking and sometimes putting him to bed. I was also helping around the house, did a lot of gardening, worked in a bakery: I was taking part in all possible kinds of a community village life.

I will be happy to provide reference contacts and do a phone or video interview.
