DOREEN, 27 JAHRE

Dear host family, I am already very excited about getting to know you. But, first of all, I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Doreen mwende.I am 26 years old and from kenya. I would describe myself as a reliable and caring person, who tries to make the best out of every situation. I like spending time with my friends; they are – as well as my family – very important to me. Always trying to help, I’m always there for them if they need me. In my free time, I like to listen to music, go shopping or dance. Dancing is one of my favorite hobbies and I am also teaching young children at a local dancing club At the moment, I work as a au pair I enjoy this job very much, because I am able to bond with many of my people. Four years ago I did an apprenticeship as a media clerk in a small publishing house.  Before the apprenticeship I completed my secondary school. For the past ten years, I took care of children of all ages from different families. I became very close to them and I cherish the time I have spent with them. When my brother was younger, I also took care of him, when our mum was working. Through this time, I have found out how much fun it is to have children around, I can’t imagine a life without them. The reason why I want to go to the USA as an au pair is that I want to get to know the American way of life as well as different cultures. Most importantly, it would be a great chance to spend an entire year taking care of children. And of course, it would be great to improve my English skills as well. I hope we can develop a good relationship, working and living together as a family. I would be very happy to experience an eventful year with you and your kids. I am looking forward to talking to you. Yours sincerely, Doreen
