LARISSA, 21 YEARS

Dear host family, my name is Larissa, I’m 20 years old and I was born and raised in Germany. I am a very independent and reliable, creative and open minded person. Whilst going alone to Brussels for example I learned how to be independent and to orient myself in a city I've never been to. While I was still in school I also did an internship in a kindergarten, at an elementary school and a music school. My experience with kids has been so far through tutoring, babysitting and internships. I enjoy taking care of children and think its very fun for example if the weather plays along we go outside to do homework/ study and the sun always increases their motivation while studying. My english tutoring student is in 9th grade at high school and my french student is in 11th grade at a vocational college. I enjoy the lessons with them very much because every little accomplishment makes such a big difference and every once in a while i notice how much confidence they've gained in their ability to speak freely and their language skills. All my life experiences and child care taking led me to the conclusion that I would love to go abroad as an Au pair, face new challenges in a completely new country and culture.
