Gabriela, 28 ans, Equatorien, en ce moment en Équateur cherche travail comme Au Pair en États-Unis

My experience with children, I have been working with children for a long time under different circumstances. To be more specific ages from 1-6 my niece. 6 year old host kids (twins). 11-13, 12-13, 14-16, 13-15. My last host kids. The most important and the one that gave me a huge experience was the one that I worked as an Aupair before in New York City. It gave me experience to learn how to make the children develop their skills, play interesting games, make them learn a lot of new things depending on their age, also I know how to have fun with a child.
When I was an Aupair before I played a lot of games with all the kids, they were aged from 12 to 15 and twins of 6 years old too. So I played many special games for their ages. Since playing with simple toys to play rough games with the teenegers which were boys. Also ps4 and xbox which I’m very good at, with Caila and Jenna usually loved to go shopping and do make up stuff. They were 15 and 13 years old.

I come from other country, I can show them my customs, some games such as: play traditional games, "rayuela" it is my favorite cause you draw a lot of squares on the floor and you must try to not touch the lines with foot, this squares have different forms like a bunny. " El juego de las bolas" consists of drawing a circle on the floor and filling this circle with "canicas" . There are small balls of porcelain. We throw one ball and must try to get out the most amount of balls, this game is so fun. And a lot of more games.Also when I was the host at the children's parties I played with them all time, it makes me know that I have the ability to entertain and made them to enjoy the time with me, also to the parents, I danced a lot of kinds of songs, sing, also dressed as different characters like Elsa from Frozen, Tinkerbell, Minnie Mouse etc. In the parties I have to paint their faces with characters that they prefer, also I have created some contests for children, where they had to do a lot of different things like: we made them choose a couple to play “pies atados”. With a soft tape we tie the feet of each one and they must walk quickly and the winner is who arrives first at the finish line. Another game was “congelados” . It is so easy to learn. While the music is playing the children are dancing, the music stops and they the one that never moves is the winner. At the end of the party we sang the famous "happy birthday" and blew out the candles and took some pictures. This is one of my favorite time of the party because I can be involved with all the people and mainly with the birthday boy/girl, while I was with the kid giving them some hugs the kids feels so excited because I’m wearing their favorite character costume so they thinks he/she is with the real one. The rest of their family are watching him/her with their favorite character and I love the way the kid sees me as their favorite character. I love to spend time singing. I think I'm a good singer and I love Disney songs. In my personal opinion I love the Disney songs because I have done it right. Being a singer I've noticed that it draws attention to children and I love to sing with them. I think to play with kids is important, the initiative and to be perceptive about what the children want. Also I love board games like monopoly for the reason that I have bought an electronic monopoly to play with the bigger kids. In the Daycare that I worked at, I had to develop psycho-motor skills for kids from 1 to 5 years old making different activities each day with many materials like paper, cardboard, color paints, liquid paint, clay, etc. Also the games at the playtime were very interesting to develop the mental speed of kids. In the daycare we tried to make the children enjoy every time even if they were not comfortable being separated from their parents, we gave them security, compression and especially love. I love to go to the pool with kids, play soccer, play basketball, play football, to sing, to go to the park, to the cinema, to play with toys making interesting stories with them for children, to enjoy every time with them.
