Hello, my name is Asem, I am from Kazakhstan, Astana city. I am 25 and all my life that I can remember - I have always been surrounded by children. The first is my younger brother, I was 6 when he was born. Now he is 19, I love him and I am very proud of him. I have two younger cousins, 8 nieces and 6 nephews. And I took care each of them, and three of them learned to walk in front of me! This is an indescribable feeling that I will remember for the rest of my life! Yes, I have a big family and I love everyone in their own way. So, we can say that the profession of a nanny was laid down in my childhood. This influenced my later life. At the age of 15, I ended up in the «Samal» children's tourist camp, located in the Karaganda city. It was love at first sight. From September to May we went through different types of training. Tourism, teamwork, child psychology, conflict resolution, team building, planning, organizing entertainment programs, running clubs, swimming, physical training and much more, I will be happy to tell you more when we meet. Then, from June to August, we went to the mountains of Almaty (a city in Kazakhstan) and our summer camp with children took place there. The team has always had 15-18 people of different ages. We got to know each other, went hiking, played games, sang songs by the fire, learned to knit knots, prepared team performances, swam in the lake, in general, made the summer of children, and ours unforgettable! So, 4 years have passed. It was one of the funniest moments of my life. The experience gained gave me a lot: I learned from children their love of life, fearlessness, childish naivety, honesty and kindness. They learned from me responsibility, humor, responsiveness, friendliness, attentiveness, self-love. Of course, working with children is not always easy, but it has always brought me pleasure.

After graduating from the bachelor's degree, I entered the magistracy, in the scientific and pedagogical direction. I wanted to be a teacher at my university. At the same time, I met the wonderful Irina and her incredible son Timur. He was 2 years old when we met. He became another lovely nephew for me. My duties included feeding, walking, doing hygiene procedures, visiting the pool, and the overall development of the child. At the age of 2, Timur still used diapers, but soon we got rid of them! Timur was 5 when I got Master’s degree. Unfortunately, I needed to find a job to gain work experience in my field, so I had to leave them. But we still communicate and I visit them.

I also love animals, hiking, being active, singing, doing things with my hands, inventing entertainment, cooking, reading, traveling, taking pictures.

I will be glad to get to know you, your family, culture and of course, share my experience. I'm sure we have something to share with each other! Feel free to ask me the questions, or discuss something more.

Best regards, Asem
