About me:
I travelled quite a lot and I worked in 3 foreign countries ( 2 jobs as Au Pair) so I am an independent, mature and self motivated person.
I am organized, flexible, responsible, caring and funny (even acting goofy sometimes but this is also required when you work with children). Willing to learn new things, hard working and happy to give you a helping hand when needed. I believe in Lifelong learning.
I am a clean, honest, friendly, discreet and enthusiastic young woman with common sense.
I respect people and I'm a discreet person who values the simple things in life.
I have a genuine love for children and I respect their feelings. I am aware of the fact that they need safety, attention and affection at all times and that a very good hygiene, a balanced diet and outdooer activities are important for their welfare.
I am passionate about offering the children a nurturing and caring environment with games and activities that support their physical, social, emotional, creative and intellectual development as it is very important for them to be happy and stimulated in the early years. Engaging them in fun, creative and educational activities like reading, rhyming, colouring, drawing, origami, puzzles, singing, dancing, playing sports, doing arts&crafts, construction play, playdates and outdoor activities will help them in developing new skills and improve their existing skills and abilities.
I am willing to follow your rules and discipline and comfort methods regarding your children upbringing and maintaining a good communication with you informing about your children's development and concerns about their behaviour. Communication is the key. I am happy about performing housework duties (as long as I am not considered a maid) and I am eager to discuss my responsibilities and making things clear so that your household run smoothly and we are all happy.
I love cooking and baking ( I can cook vegetarian and ayurvedic) and cleaning.
I love animals, especially dogs and 2 times per month I am walking a dog from an animal shelter.
Please take note that I am not a teenager babysitter.

Hobbies and interests:
I graduated a Sports High School so spending time outdoor is important for me as I like being active and fit and children can spend their energy in an useful way.
I love outdoor activities, cultural activities, travelling, bike riding, playing volleyball, going to museums, zoo, art galleries, fairs and expositions of any kind, documentaries, dancing and listening to music. I have a special interest in reading science publications. I love nature and animals.
I am adventurous and I love visiting new and old places, learn about other cultures, and learn new languages as I am curious and enthusiastic to explore the world around me.


If I got your attention, please let me know.
Best regards, Alina.
