Dear future host family,

My name is Annika, a 22-year-old German enthusiast, who spent the last year exploring the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand. In my leisure time, I like to go on walks while listening to music and I love to make art. Having dedicated 14 years to handball back in Germany, sports have always been an integral part of my life. Additionally, my passion for theater has allowed me to entertain and engage with audiences, a joy I carry with me wherever I go.

Following my graduation in 2022 (Abitur), I embarked on a fulfilling journey as a nurse in a retirement home for a year. It was during this time that I discovered my profound inclination towards caregiving and nurturing others well-being. My adventure in New Zealand began in 2023, where I gained valuable experience through WWOOFing and hospitality roles in various establishments. As someone who values cleanliness and order, I take pride in maintaining a tidy environment.

Now, I am eager to embark on a new chapter and travel around Europe. Armed with comprehensive training in elderly care, I am drawn to the prospect of nurturing young minds and making a positive impact on their lives. Beyond human companionship, I hold a deep affection for animals and would gladly extend my care to any pets in your household.

I am excited at the prospect of becoming a part of your family and contributing to its warmth and harmony. Thank you for considering me as a potential member of your household.

Warm regards,
Annika
