ivan (21), moldavo/a & ruso/a, Artista actualmente en Francia quiere ser Au Pair en Alemania

Hello, my name is Ivan and I am currently an art student in France, more specifically Lyon, though I am planning an academic leave next year to take some time and work, learn labour and develop my German linguistic skills so that I could transfer to an art university in Berlin. I took interest in Au Pair programs in particular, as spending a vast majority of my childhood in language-orientated summer schools, I have met many students that combined their successful language development with working around kids. I come from a large family, as I have a smaller brother and an older sister. Since my very childhood I was kept looking after my brother and my parents’ friends’ kids. Later, as a teen, I led my school’s younger classes and took pleasure in helping them with their questions around their homework and class topics. Later I even worked as a nanny for a short period of time back in Moscow. Through the years I grew experience and amusement in working with children and came to the decision that working with them could be an optimal choice for my work-and-learn academic leave before I get a chance to continue my art studies. As for my linguistic abilities - my mother tongues are Russian and English, my French is at C1 and my German is currently at A2, but constantly in progression.
