I hold a diploma in human resources management (BTS) obtained in Cameroon. Upon arriving in Canada, I completed a one-year nursing program at the Cégep de Chicoutimi, where I also completed an internship at the Chicoutimi hospital. Afterward, I worked as a caretaker in seniors' residences, an experience that strengthened my listening skills, my sense of service, and my gentle approach to supporting vulnerable people. These experiences allowed me to develop valuable qualities for the role of au pair: patience, empathy, thoroughness, and the ability to adapt to different needs.

Although I haven't yet worked as an au pair officially, I've always been surrounded by children and have often taken on the role of caring big sister to my nephews, nieces, and friends' children. I therefore have extensive experience in childcare, helping with homework, organizing play activities, and managing daily routines. I currently live with a host family where I care for three wonderful children (2 girls and 1 boy), aged between 3 and 7. In real life, I enjoy reading, sports, cooking, walking, music, cultural exchanges, and creative activities. I also enjoy spending time discovering new things and sharing what I know. After my au pair assignment, I hope to pursue a career in the social or educational field, and perhaps further my studies in this area.

I sincerely thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I sincerely hope that this letter has allowed you to get to know me better. I look forward, if you wish, to being a part of your daily life and contributing to the well-being of your children.

With all my respect,
Barbara.
