Letter to the family

Hello dear family!
My name is Erika. I am a primary school teacher with a diploma in Early Childhood Care and Education.
I would like to have an exchange experience in a European country and learn French.
I'm ready to start at any time.

I am a person who loves adventures, fresh air and nature. Whenever I can, I try to have new things to do like going to the beach, hiking, and kayaking. ?️??‍♀️?️
I would also describe myself as an honest and flexible person. I am very attentive, organized and I like to do my best in everything I do.

Since I was little, I have been very interested in other cultures and languages, particularly French and English. After two of my friends went to work as Au Pairs in the United States, I had more confidence to make these dreams come true.
In 2019, I went to visit them in Maryland and got to see how the program actually works, interacted with my friends' host family and host children and followed their routine . After this experience, I was sure I wanted to do the program because I have always had the ability to work with children.

I speak Portuguese, my mother tongue, and I am improving my English, but I would like to learn new languages like French.
I am a curious person and I always try to learn new things.
I hope to find a host family who respects me as a person and a professional. I hope we have a good relationship as partners with the same goal: to raise our children in the best way possible. Additionally, I am looking forward to new experiences with a different culture and language, as well as visiting beautiful places in Europe.

If you are interested, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you!

Experience

I recently completed my degree in Early Childhood Care and Education and have worked in some schools as a trainee teacher and as an assistant teacher.

I worked as a teacher in a primary school and my activities included feeding children aged one to two years, helping the teacher with classroom activities and taking care of children in the playground. I learned how to change diapers, feed children properly and always be attentive.

I contributed to class activities, particularly with a student who had greater difficulties. I learned to take better care of children over six years old.
Additionally, I have worked with five and six year old children and help with the literacy process with games and interactive activities.

In addition, I worked with children from one to five years old, I became familiar with the Maria Montessori method. In this method, the child must be autonomous and independent, the adult must only observe and help him if it is really necessary. I learned that every child has their own pace of learning and that the most important thing is to do it in a fun way.
On weekends I look after a cousin and we like to spend a lot of time together.
I consider myself a good driver, as I have never had a car accident and I always drive very carefully and responsibly.
