GABRIELE, 22 YEARS

Dear host family, my name is Gabriele, I'm 21 years old and I'm brazilian. I come from a humble and united family, which has always taught me respect and love for others, and especially chasing my dreams and goals and certainly giving an au pair is one of them. I want to be an au pair as I want to have more experience in caring for children. I'm a nursing student, I'm currently studying child and adolescent health, and it's an area that interests me a lot, so I think this experience would add a lot to my career. Becoming fluent in other languages ​​is also one of my goals. Other than that, I am passionate about these little ones, I have a lot of contact with them daily, whether at work or in my family. I have experience living in other cities far from my parents, and also living in other people's houses, because I think I'm a very easy person to live with. I like to have a relationship of respect and trust and partnership with who I live. I am quite independent, I know how to do my own things, housework, cook and so on. -1420 hours with children in total -Infant qualified (560 hours) - Early childhood education at home (children from 3 to 8 years old) - Nursing student (I've learned a lot about first aid) -Studying on adolescent and child health - Appreciator and practitioner of the Motessori method - Studying sign language for babies I have experience teaching children from 3 to 8 years old, because during the pandemic the children's education was very damaged and that's why their mothers asked me to teach them as an extra reinforcement. As I had to deal with children of different ages at the same time, I started researching children's temperaments, and it helped me a lot to know and identify each one of them and what they need. With babies, I took care of a little girl from the time she was a newborn until she turned 1, which did a lot of research on baby food introduction methods and sign languages, which helped me a lot in my time with her and made it so much easier. our lives. Well, I consider myself a very responsible and dedicated person, who runs after goals and is always looking to learn more. That's why I want to risk this exchange. I also intend to specialize in some area of ​​nursing that has to do with children's health, and I think this experience would add a lot to me. I qualify for the position because I have many experiences taking care of children and teaching them. They are beings that enchant me every day. Every day I learn something from them and it makes me very happy. I'm very confident and caring, and all the children I've taken care of or taught I keep in touch with and are part of life to this day, and that makes me very satisfied. I consider myself quite fun and open-minded. I'm also a great friend, great company for parties and travel. I love having fun with family and friends. I'm very laid back during weekdays and work, unless it's scheduled in advance. I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking for them, watching something together or going to the beach. Being in nature is something I really appreciate, breathing fresh air brings me peace. I like sunbathing, hiking, picnics and watching sports. Making crafts also gives me a lot of pleasure, I love making toys with recyclable materials, I like doing these activities with my children. I love books and animals, I have two kittens that I found on the street, and they are the true loves of my life. I am very patient, loving and caring, honest and responsible. I'm clean and organized with my stuff, as I already have experience living in other people's homes.
