Paula (17), Tedesca, Studente di scuola superiore attualmente in Germania cerca lavoro come Au Pair in Regno Unito, Irlanda & Scozia per 10-12 mesi

Dear family,
my name is Paula and I am a German student. I live with my big sister, my twin brother and my parents in a house in a small village near Cologne. I love our village life with its traditions and celebrations. Besides my A-levels, I do competitive athletics which takes up most of my free time. On weekends, when I'm not competing, I like to do something with my friends or family. I started baby-sitting at an early age, with my mother supporting me. When I heard about the possibility of an aupair year, it was clear to me that this is exactly what I want. Since I was 13, I have been babysitting another set of twins with my twin brother, who we used to babysit in the afternoons and now often on weekends. We ate dinner with them, played with them and put them to bed. They were 3 years old are now 6 years old. I also often looked after my cousin on school days off because my aunt had to work. When I was 16, I had 2 more baby-sitters, whom I look after on my own. They are the children of my boss at the bakery where I work as a mini-job. They are 4 and 6 years old and my job is to spend time with them because their parents are busy with their own business.

Besides babysitting, I also train our youngsters in my athletics club and therefore have a lot of contact with children aged 5-11.

About me you should know that I am a very open, ambitious person. I do everything I can to achieve my goals, for example in sports. Sport plays a very important role in my life. As far as I can tell, I am a reliable, punctual person who attaches great importance to friendliness. I am very uncomplicated and put a lot of emphasis on honesty.

My passion for children is also evident at school in my advanced course in education. There I learn a lot about child rearing and the thinking and behaviour of children, which will certainly help me in childcare.

As mentioned above, I have wanted to become an au pair since I was 13. I love doing things with children, taking care of them and accompanying them as they grow older. I also enjoy helping around the house, baking and cooking. What I like about the stay is that you don't just get to do what you love, but you also get to know a new lifestyle and somehow get a second family.

I’d like to help you in summer 2022 when I finished my A-Levels.

If you have any further questions or are unsure if I would be a good fit for your family, please feel free to contact me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards from Germany

Paula
