DONA, 24 ÅR

My name is Dona Rose, and I am from Tuguegarao City, Philippines. I am 23 years old, and I graduated as a computer engineer from the University of Cagayan Valley. I am currently working as a graphic artist full-time and also a part-time English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher, and I teach children from the age of 3 to 18 years old. You should choose me as an au pair because you can rely on me. I am faithful and helpful. And I am a person who loves his work with children and who performs this work with great dedication, commitment, and ambition. Since I work with children the whole day, I feel confident and secure in dealing with them. Another positive aspect of my work is that I am exposed to different kinds of children's characters. And I also realize what it means to work with children with deficits. Consequently, I know how important it is to provide them with individual attention, and I am happy to spend that time with them. In my opinion, rules are very important when dealing with children. They still have to discover the world, and you should help and instruct them, but it is also important to show them their borders. And I can assert myself. I had to take a first aid course, and I learned helpful things for an accident and also the basic care of wounds. But for me, practice and security in an emergency are essential for survival; that is the reason why I decided to attend another first aid course, which is catered to children and lasts for several days. I have a good combination of work experience with children, so it would be no problem for me to help the children reach their full potential. I think varied activities are very important for children. Also the closeness to nature and the fact that they build things with their own hands. It is a defining point of growing up. And I would like to support them by finding their ways. For example, I love to do handicrafts with children or cook something. The phrase "learning by doing" pleases me because it corresponds exactly to reality and what I like to do with children. And you can be sure that the children are going to have rewarding experiences with me. I want to enable them to have a varied program, and I want to encourage them to try new things. I do not want to be a stranger. I want to be a part of your family, and I am concerned that the children will be able to talk to me at any time. Together, we can resolve the difficulties that the children have without tension or anger. I want to be their friend, contact person, and model. I love children, and their condition means a lot to me. I am an active and creative person who is always motivated and helpful. Even in all kinds of situations, I am patient and courteous. Two of my strengths are that I am open-minded and adaptable. That is another reason why I would be a good au pair. I can accustom myself to new situations very quickly. I would appreciate it if you would commit me to your children, and I will be aware of my duties and responsibilities as an au pair. I am adequate for the task of being an au pair because I am mature and reliable. I can promise you that your children will be in good hands. We would have a lot of fun, and they would never be bored.
