Letter to the family

Dear family,

My name is Candelaria, but people call me Cale. I am 24 years old and I live in Santiago, Chile. I am an pediatric Occupational Therapist, graduated from the Universidad de los Andes, with a major in pediatrics. I am currently working in child rehabilitation centers with children between 9 months and 8 years old, with diagnoses such as ADHD, ASD, Down Syndrome, sensory disorders, among others. Within my knowledge I have courses and workshops focused on feeding, sensory integration, stimulation, neurodevelopment, fine and gross motor work, early care, among others.

My first language is Spanish, and my English is advanced, level C1 in Cambridge English Level 2 Certificate in ESOL International. When I was 17, my family and I lived in the United States for six months.

I would love to experience a different culture, which is the main reason why I want to be a Au pair. I have also always been fascinated by the history, culture and landscapes that Europe has. I am particularly interested in experiencing family life, as the cultural background it provides is undoubtedly different from my own.

I am happy to have the opportunity to speak with you and answer any questions you may have about me or my childcare experience.
Thank you very much for your interest in my application!
I hope to get news from you.

Sincerely,
Cale

Experience

I am currently working in child rehabilitation centers with children between 9 months and 8 years old, with
different diagnoses. Within my knowledge I have courses and workshops focused on feeding, sensory integration, stimulation, neurodevelopment, fine and gross motor work, early care, among others. I have experience working with children with cognitive, motor, sensory and behavioral difficulties of different ages. Likewise, I have been babysitting children of different ages since I was 14 years old.

In terms of childcare, I have been caring for children for many years and in different settings. I have been taking care of my neighbors and the children of my mother's friends. In school I was responsible for providing classes and after-school activities for children between the ages of 5 and 10, I also organized and participated in indoor and outdoor recreational activities for them: we sang, danced, played games, role-playing, drawing , paintings and narrative stories. During that time I was responsible for a group of students at my school, focus on building houses for families in need, we also helped children with their school work and spent a lot of time with them. I helped my parents take care of my brothers from birth. I like spending time with children, and this is why I studied Occupational Therapy, to be able to work with children who have or do not have special needs to help them lead the best life possible.
