LESLIE ANN, 30 YEARS

I am already very excited about getting to know you. But, first of all, I would like to introduce myself to you. I am Leslie Ann Binag, 28 years of age, In a relationship, from the Philippines. My height is 5'2" and weight is 58kg. I live in Cebu City, also known as the Queen City of the South. I am a hardworking person, patient, open minded and honest individual, who is kind and gets along well with others. I consider myself to be very hard working and reliable. I come from a large family but my second eldest sister is my closest. She has a partner who is German; they have one daughter. I had lived with them for 13 years. I became a part of their circle and I have experienced how it is to live in a small family. Moreover, I was able to graduate from high school and college with their financial assistance. In exchange for their generosity, I took care of her when she got pregnant until she went into labour. That is how I became the babysitter of my niece from the time she was a baby and until now that she is almost a teenager. I am a responsible person. For example, I can be left with the kids and managing the house. I was trained, at my sister’s place, to babysit my niece at the same time, cleaning the place thoroughly because her German partner is very strict when it comes to cleanliness and organization. Aside from it, I am also responsible for cooking the meals, washing the dirty laundries, clearing up the table after meals, and washing the used plates and utensils. Furthermore, I am also a patient person. I learned to have patience when babysitting children and this help me developed getting friendly easily with other people, adapt to new situations and any environment especially when I am with kids. In addition, I know how to do a make-over. I do the make-up of my nieces when they have presentations at the school. I also have an example of it on my YouTube Channel Leslie Ann Binag. It’s my first time applying as an Au Pair. I have a lot of experience in child care because I grew up taking care of my nieces and nephews. As an example, when my second elder sister got pregnant, I was the one who took care of her until she delivered her baby. I babysit her daughter such as changing diapers, feed her, and am with her all the time. As her babysitter, I always make sure that she has enough sleep, physical activities, and playtime. Until now that she is almost a teenager, I still take care of her when her mother travels or has business to attend to. Other people always mistake me as the mother when we are out together because my niece loves to play and does not stay in one place. As someone who loves her like a mother, I am always literally at her back to make sure nothing bad happens to her. I also have experience taking care of my eldest sibling's daughter that has special needs. She can only lay on the floor and cannot stand, walk or sit. I am responsible for feeding her, changing her clothes and diapers and most importantly, make her smile.I am happy that I was able to witness their first step, crawl, and hear their first words. Child care is a difficult task but it helps me to be more mature and responsible. Patience is everything. The amount of time I have spent with them is tiring and several sleepless nights but it is worth it knowing that they are growing up healthy, kind, respectful and smart. I hope we can develop a good relationship, working and living together as a family. I would be very happy to experience an eventful year with you and your kids. I am looking forward to talking to you. Yours Sincerely, Leslie Ann Binag
