Samantha (30), , mieszka w Stany Zjednoczone Ameryki, szuka pracy jako Au Pair na okres 1-3 miesiące w Włochy & Hiszpania

Since I was little, the adults noticed that I had a motherly instinct. Tending to take care of the children, putting them to sleep, caring for them, etc. When in reach, I am passed a child so that I can put them to sleep, my family jokes that I have “brazos dormilones/sleepy arms” which means that most every time I hold a child, they almost immediately fall asleep. During High School I took a course named “Child Development” which emphasizes on the study of toddler behavior; to put in practice what was learned we were taken to a childcare close by. Amid this time, I took my first ever job as a nanny. I was lucky to grow up alongside the families whom I nannied for, even as the family expanded and welcomed new members. Due to these experiences and their recommendations I joined an annual summer camp for children as an organizer and became a catechism teacher. Not long before, my project to start artistic summer courses in my town for children and teenagers was accepted but had to be postponed due to the pandemic.

This life and this world are what we make of it. Yes, the opportunity that the AuPair platform offers is quite undeniable. We are offered the chance to experience a culturally diverse connection with a wonderful welcoming family. To be a part of a new country and their culture, traditions, ambient; a sense of uniqueness.

They say that kids are the future of the world and what better way if I can contribute, at least a tad bit, to their learning and understanding of it. Children and young teenagers see the world through different eyes. They irradiate love, energy and innocence that is a daily motivation and mind refresher for me to not get so caught up with what will be in the future.
