Svetlana (25), nauczycielka, mieszka w Rosja, szuka pracy jako Au Pair na okres 12-24 miesiące w Niemcy, Japonia, Holandia, Polska & Stany Zjednoczone Ameryki

Dear host family,

My name is Svetlana but I usually go by Lana too. I'm 24 years old and currently live in Vladivostok, a windy and vibrant city located in the Russian Far East on the shores of the Sea of Japan.

At university, I studied Japanese language and economics, and I have a passion for learning new languages. I'm fluent in Russian and English, and I can have a pretty decent conversation in Japanese. At the moment, I'm interested in learning German and Dutch languages! I'm a recent graduate who has tried my hand at various fields, such as teaching, procurement, logistics, but I've realized that I enjoy working with children the most.

I love taking care of others, cooking, drawing and crafting, explaining stuff. My friends would definitely describe me as a calm and collected person who can be authoritative or playful depending on the situation. This is also my approach when interacting with children. Their health, safety and happiness are my top priorities.

Apart from that, I am quite independent, as I moved to another part of Russia to study when I was just 18. I also studied in the US for one semester as part of a cultural exchange program, which I am very proud of. This gave me a good opportunity to travel and learn about different cultures, and I'd very much like to continue doing that in the future!
