Dear Host Family, My name is Natalia and I was born on February 26th in 1989, I'm 22 years old and I live in Grudynia Wielka,Poland.' I'm finished high school 4 years ago and after graduating went to Norway to Uncleis was an amazing experience that I will never forgetsured me that I'm ready for more adventures of this type and, therefore, decided to become an au pair. I`ll tell you a bit about my family.I live with my parents in a small village near Opole. I have two siblings. Older sister of 13 years from me and my brother about 11 years older than mee relationships I have with my family and friends are very important to me.I am very close with both my parents. I am fairly independent but I do look to my parents for advice. They are always there for me when I need them friends and I are extremely close, we tell each other everything, we trust each other with our lives and we would do just about anything for each other. We feel responsible for one another and help each other whenever the need arises. Since I can remember my mom always prepared me for independent living .. when I was nine years already know how to cook.when parents are at work, always clean up or cook, if you need to clean, cook, iron or amount to garbage, always will do it without protest.I have the courage to take on new challenges. For example when I was little girl I liked water but I used to be afraid even of pools because I thought that there are sharks. In fact I liked swimming but I still was panic at some point and got out of a deep basin. But I never give up.I am strong-willed and even if something goes wrong is always repeating itself, "Natalia get their act together and try as long as you succeed". I think that life is for people. And in life you must try everything to survive as best as you can.I believe that dreams come true but you have to work hard at itd I am trying to do that mother`s friends tells that they are admired me for being confident, stubborn and so determined.When it comes to sport I like running, playing volleyball and cycling. Another interest is traveling. I am an active person! Sure, there are some moments when I need to sit down and have a break, calm down and think about things which need it. But most of time I like being alive, I have no problem with deciding what to do next. I am creative. When it comes to my experience with children, I started from the children related to mecousins??, cousins??, children and siblings.I changed diapers if baby was small, bathed, fed. I liked to do with them manually things like cut-out, etc.I do not prefer watching television, but sometimes parents of the children told me to switch it on for a limited timeually, if a child does not listening, trying to check the border. It may also be a request for more attention or dedication does not understand our request or command. Then I try to explain what I mean. If there are no changes I ignore some of the behavior of the child until he calms down. I hope that a typical day will not be adversely crazy, we will not have to hurry, run to catch the next class. That we find time to do everything we planned, a time for us, time for a walk, a quiet, casual conversation because I know from experience that the children need it. It is very easy to lose confidence in a child. They think other categories and do not understand the adult world, because of that the hardest thing is to make time of childhood unique, full of love, spontaneous.I understand children have feelings and the time I am going to spend with them is rich in various events which may leave a trace in the psyche of a child forever. And finishing, the most beautiful thing I can get in return for looking after is a childish smile and sincere words :“Thank you for being” or even those: “I love you”, which I happened to hear from their lips is invaluable and I think it would be enough and I am so excited I'll probably be able to get to know you, your culture, your country. Thank you for providing me with the opportunity of a lifetime, and for making my dream come true. Take care and kisses,Natalia
