XYLENE, 31 YEARS

Dear future host family,

I am Xylene, a 25 year-old Filipina. I am very independent, hard working and trustworthy, jolly and loving person. I am the eldest in the family with 3 siblings. Since I was 10 my mom taught me many things including taking care of my siblings wherein I used to babysit them when our parents are away or working. On a very young age I learned how to take good care of children specifically infants.

I always enjoy being with children, play with them and teach them, infact we are a big family staying in one compound with so many kids in different age. Since I am the eldest in our family most of the time I am the one who guide my siblings and cousins in accomplishing their assignments and projects. And if it's weekend I always make sure I review them with their lessons. And sometimes if we had more time we usually go to city and play on Toms World. My saturdays and sundays wouldn't be complete if I haven't babysit my cousin's baby who is now 2 months old. Because for me being with babies is a priceless moment.

I am also the kind of woman who loves to do household chores like cleaning the entire house, washing the dishes, preparing and cooking foods, washing clothes, ironing and etc. Because we have this schedules at home on who will do these kind of chores, we developed this kind of attitude of being independent. Honestly! You can leave me a messy house and make it clean and tidy because one of my hobby is cleaning. I always find this hobby enjoyable.

I am a teacher with 5 years experience. I handled children with special needs for two years and kindergarten kids for 2 years. Right now i am currently in Oman teaching different nationalities in a primary education.

I am the kind of person who always love improvement and always curious on different things, because I always wanted to find whatever capabilities I have inside and discover it for me to grow better. And because of this I decided to find another opportunity which is probably as an aupair. I always wanted to do this since my cousin left Philippines and work as an aupair in Denmark. She told me how kind are the people out there. And I am also hoping I will be able to find kind and loving host family who will be indeed my second family. Because I am more than willing to be part of your family and look after your lovely children.

I can't wait to meet you and tell more about myself, my family and my country. Hope to see you soonest :-)

Sincerly yours,
XYLENE V. BRAVANTE
