I am from Kristiansand, Norway and have work experience from kindergartens and daycare centers (kids aged 0-6), as well as after-school programs (ages 6-12). Having been an au pair in California before and worked a lot with children in Norway, I feel like I can consider myself pretty good with children. I also enjoy taking child psychology college classes.

I speak English fluently and I'm a good driver. My hobbies and interests include travelling, reading, running + exercising, photography, webdesign, experiencing new cultures and learning new languages. I love traveling and have traveled extensively in Europe, as well as the US.

In Norway, I have work experience from daycare centers/kindergartens and a health care center. I volunteered at a children's camp two summers in a row when I was 17. I also have my own webdesign company which I established in 2005.

When I worked for my host family in California, I was responisble for getting the kids up and ready in the morning and sometimes driving them to school. I also worked afternoons and evenings where I helped with homework, driving the kids to activities, and prepared healthy snacks + dinner before getting them ready for bed. I worked both alone and along with the parents.

Other duties included: Keeping boys' bedrooms and toys organized and doing kids' laundry. Parents were present a lot of the time, however there were times I was responsible for the kids when parents were out of town/out of the country. I also traveled quite a bit with the family and worked a pretty flexible schedule while traveling.

I am interested in au pairing in the US. I lived in the US for almost 4 years (au pairing and studying) and absolutely loved it.

I am looking forward to hearing from you! Love, Mona
