Description of character
I'm a easy-going girl, love to make new friends and very social. I stubborn by nature, in the good kind of way. I carry out mostly everything I set my mind on, I know what I want, and flexibility is a word that is very familiar to me. Like to mind people.
Childcare experiences
In the summer of 2006 I was a Au-pair/groom for a family in Ireland. Six children age btw 2-12 and 14 ponies. Became there "big sister", loved the family and the summer went by very fast.
In September 2009 I started out as a homework teacher in a suburb lower secondary school. 1-2 evenings a week, mostly helping the students with English, Swedish and Science.
I have done a lot of babysitting for my brother and sister.
School / Academic qualifications
High School diploma
Half way through my Bachelor Degree in Biology
Childcare / First-Aid qualifications
Swedish Sport and Equestrian association course in 'Leadership for children and youth'
First-Aid training
Special talents
Riding, love of sports and art.
How I spend my leisure time
Mostly reading or riding. School takes up a very big part of my life right now, but I do make time to take care of myself. Spending one or two evenings a week helping children who need extra help in school. My friends are close to my heart.
Lived away from home
Yes, first as a Au-pair/groom in summer of 2006 and then I spent 11 months in the south of Ireland during 2007/2008. Moved to boardingschool at the age of 14 to graduation.
Why I want to be an Au Pair
Really like children, and somehow they like me. I'm the oldest sister in my family, and I wish that we had haved a Au-pair/ Nanny when I was littel. Mom had certainly needed it. To have a Au-pair when you are a child gives you a rich experiance, something that you will bring with you for the rest of the life. I would like to make that a nice one, and make my own memories.
