MICHELLE, 29 YEARS

I am Michelle I am currently here in Netherlands as an au pair. I am single 24 years of age. I am a former au pair from Belgium and this is my second time now. I love doing it so much because I have the interest to learn new cultures and languages and meet new friends.

Regarding about my family I am the oldest of the 3 siblings of my lovable parents Soledad and Ruben Alluad. My father is a tricycle driver and my mother is a housewife. I have one brother named Benson Alluad which is still a student and a cute little girl Abela Sofia still 1 year old. Small but happy family!

I studied BS in Hotel and Restaurant in Philippines for 4 years. I lived in central Luzon in Manila for 7 years to study there and live with my uncle and his family. During my study I took a summer On job training to Louisiana USA a J1 visa and work as a housekeeper in L'auberge Hotel and Casino Resort for 3 months together with my co school mates and the other students in the other universities. It was a nice experience of mine. After my studies I tried to apply a work in Manila same place where I studied college. I work as a Teller on a parking lots in a Big Malls not longer than 6 months before I came to Belgium as an Au pair.

My first experience an au pair in Belgium is not good a reason to change host family after. But immediately i found a new host family nice and down to earth Family with a single mom with 3 kids.

I am currently living now with 3 family the Dad, mom and a 10 months old cute baby boy. They are also a very down to earth family. They make me feel I am belong to the family. I help them with light household chores like tidying the house, vacuuming, laundry, loading and unloading the dishes(do sharing) iron and organize them at the same time, I also cook dinner sometimes. I walk with the baby outside and sometimes the mom or the dad and the grandmother do it. Here it is always give and take and that's the good part of it.

I hope you my next family will be as them too. They accepted me as their family and treated me fairly. I learned so much and experience good things of them and I am looking forward to experience it from you as well.
