HAPPY HILDA
My name is Hilda. I am a 26 year old Kenyan (female). Recently I completed my undergraduate education in Bachelor of Arts in French at Moi University, I am actually from the western part of Kenya, Busia. Compared to Nairobi, Busia is a small town bordering Uganda. Although it is a cosmopolitan city.
I come from a family of 7. My parents, Leonard and Leonida, are self-employed people who depend entirely on farming. I have 1 sister and 3 brothers. Am the eldest, followed by my sister who is 23 years old, her name is Maria. Then my brother who is 21 years old, his name is Gabriel followed by Clément 18 years old, he has not yet joined the
In about a year or two, I plan to pursue a masters degree in French translation. So right now I would like to take some time away from academics to have a different life experience and have time to calmly reflect on my future academic / professional direction. To that end, I think spending a year abroad would be particularly interesting.
My first language is, of course, Kiswahili, and I am also fluent in English. I started learning English in primary school and it was also the language of instruction throughout my academic life.
I speak an intermediate level of French. I started learning it in high school and have been taking French lessons at my university for four years. Overall, I have been learning French for 8 years. I am also on the verge of obtaining a diploma in French language.
I am nonetheless aware that learning a language in a classroom setting is inherently incomplete. So, to be really comfortable in French, I think a cultural immersion would do me a lot of good. Thanks to my language teachers, I learned a lot about France, French and life in France. Hence my desire to have a first hand experience of French life. I am particularly interested in family life in France, as it offers a cultural context that is undoubtedly different from mine. For this reason, I would love to find a nice family to live and work in France.
When it comes to the childcare experience, I have helped my parents take care of my siblings from birth. Since I was the first born, I could help with childcare like washing clothes, feeding them, cleaning them and always making them happy. I really enjoyed it. I took care of them daily. In addition, my younger brother also spends a lot of time playing with our neighbor's two children Rayan and Veronica (aged 6 and 5), so every once in a while I find myself in their always lively company. I can comfortably say that I genuinely enjoy spending time with children.
As far as hobbies are concerned, I enjoy the simple things in life. I enjoy being indoors reading news online and playing with the children. I believe that children can always make me happy and stay longer.
As for preferences, I am looking for an arrangement with a host family, who would be happy to see me stay and work for them for at least 12 months or more. I would also prefer looking after children aged 0 months to 18 years old. Finally, although I am quite flexible, I would prefer to have working hours that would allow me to take French lessons during the day to improve my speaking.
I would be happy to have the opportunity to speak with you: to answer any questions you may have about me or my childcare experiences; to find out more about your family; your interests and find out more about what to expect from the au pair arrangement.
Thank you very much for your interest in my application!
I look forward to hearing from you.
