IRENE, 27 YEARS

My name is Irene . I am 24 years old and I'm from small town called Kitui in Kenya and I am looking for my first Au Pair match. I'm a diploma graduate in business management and specialized in logistics and Supply chain management. I am living in a house located in 20 km from Nairobi the capital city of Kenya an area full of nature. I come from a family of 4: My mother Alice, she is a self employed and runs a small hotel back in up country. My big brother (32) who is an IT specialist and my Younger sister (13) and she is in class seven.

In about two years, I plan to pursue my degree, but I am yet to make up my mind concerning my future area of specialization. So at the moment i would like to take some time out of academics to have a different life experiences, and to have time to calmly reflect my professional orientation. To this end, to spend a year abroad or more would be particularly interesting exploring cultural exchange.

What can I offer as your Au Pair ? I am an optimistic and enthusiastic person by nature. I am looking for a cultural exchange with your family (not a job). I can help in house chores like cooking, laundry, ironing and many more. Been an experienced driver I can help in dropping and picking the children to and from school. I speak Swahili and English and I would love to learn Spanish. When it comes to child care experience, I've help my mother to look after my sister since she was one one week old. I have also help my aunt to look after her three children eleven, eight and four years old respectively.

In my free time I love to cook, bike ride, visiting places I have not been and going for a walk with friends. I am choosing an Au Pair because I am very motivated and I found cultural exchanges to be some of the most rewarding experiences in life. I believe that the job of an Au Pair is challenging and but with many rewards.

As preference are concerned, I am looking for a live-in arrangement with a host family, that would be happy to have me stay with and work for them at least minimum of 12 months.

I would be happy to to have an opportunity to speak with you: to answer an questions you may have about me or my child care experiences;to learn more about your family; your interests and to know more about what you expect from the Au Pair arrangement.

Thank you very much for your interest in my application!
I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours Sincerely
Irene
