MANOUK, 23 YEARS

My name is Manouk and I live in the Netherlands in a small town called Appelscha. I am friendly, caring and willing to learn and experience new things. I would love to live with you, because I like to make myself useful
I'll be available around November, because I have to turn 18 first.

My dad has his own real estate company and isn't home a lot. My mother has been a babysitter at home for many years now and I help her with that. I also have been babysitting for a few years myself now at my nephews, children next door and acquaintances , so I have quite an experience with children.

For as long as I can remember I love to work and play with children. I want to be an excample so they can learn from me, and I also want to learn from them. My family and people around me have always told me how caring and amusing I am with children around me. They also see me as a quit person, even in stressed situations. I always try to make the best out of something.

I see myself in your family as someone who makes sure that the children are dressed, get breakfast. I bring them to school and encourage / help them to do their homework.
if there are any babies in the family, I would like to spend the day looking after them.
I also hope to be able to spend free time with the children so that I can play fun games with them, or play outside / explore the area.

I am currently 17 years old, but I turn 18 this next October. I grew up with two brothers, 15 and 19. I speak fluently Dutch, English and German. I also followed French in school. I learned a little Italian in the country it self.

As I told earlier, I live in a small town, in a proper house with my parents, my two brothers and 2 cats (and a puppy soon). I do many household things at our home, such as laundry, dishes, vacuuming and so on. One of my hobbies is cooking. I love to cook and bake things (my family appreciates that a lot haha). It wouldn't be a problem for me to any of these things in your family householding. I am a sports person. I practice volleyball, swim and I also go to the gym every now and then. I also like to travel, I think I've visited almost every country in Europe, and I hope to visit many more.

I'm currently in my final year, and since I was nine years old, I have said that I wanted to work with pediatric oncology, but this year I started doubting again. Because I love children so much, I think that a year of Au Pair experience will be a good solution and lesson for me personally.

Being an Au Pair is a new challenge for me. Untill now I used to babysit kids in the neighborhood but I want to combine some travel and babysitting.

Furthermore, I am now in my final year and I do not know what further education I want to do next.I've always wanted to experience this, so I thought, why not now?
I love to play with children and I also love to take care of them. I am curious about new cultures! I also want to improve at some points my English
