My experience as a nanny comes from working several months with a family in Stockholm. I picked up the children from school, cooked dinner, played games, and helped them with their English. During that time, I learned how to plan days with a mix of fun and learning, stay calm when things didn’t go as planned, and build a good relationship with both the children and their parents.

I would like to become an Au Pair because I believe it’s always better to live in a family environment. For someone like me, who is patient, caring, and enjoys being around children, this feels like the perfect role. I enjoy helping kids learn, grow, and feel safe. Being part of a family also gives me the chance to learn more about the culture, improve my Swedish, and reflect on what I want to do next as I finish my studies. I love Stockholm, and that’s why I’ve chosen to spend my gap year here.
