NEHA, 23 YEARS

Dear host family, I am already very excited about getting to know you. But, first of all, I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Neha Gurung . I am 20 years old and from the small city Chitwan in Nepal . With my parents, I am living in a house that is located in an area full of nature. We have got two cats , who love to cuddle all day. My father works as a Army , my mother works as housewife and small store keepr . Piyus (brother) is currently attending the 10th grade of secondary school. Overall, we are a pretty large family. I would describe myself as a reliable and caring person, who tries to make the best out of every situation. I like spending time with my friends; they are – as well as my family – very important to me. Always trying to help, I’m always there for them if they need me.At the moment, I work as a student. For the past ten years, I took care of children of all ages from different families of my relatives. I became very close to them and I cherish the time I have spent with them. When my brother was younger, I also took care of him, when our mum was working. Through this time, I have found out how much fun it is to have children around, I can’t imagine a life without them. The reason why I want to go abroad and work as an au pair is that I want to get to know the different way of life as well as different cultures. Most importantly, it would be a great chance to spend an entire year taking care of children. And of course, it would be great to improve my English skills as well.In my free time, I like to listen to music, go shopping or dance. Dancing is one of my favorite hobbies . Furthermore, I enjoy reading a good book and singing – even though I cannot sing. Every summer, I enjoy in helping old people visiting old age home . It is always a lot of fun. I would be the best friend and a companion for children and elderly people.
