Au Pair's Message to Families

*Please read my online interview to get a better impression of who I am :-)* Dear family, I’m a 23 year old Danish nanny looking for a full time live out job to start from the end of December or the beginning of January. I have 2,5 years of full time nanny/au pair experience, I’ve been a babysitter since the age of 11 and I’ve been a volunteer instructor at a toddler gymnastics class for a couple of years. I’ve also experience with twins and special needs kids (aspergers syndrom/highly functional autism) and I’ve been an Aide in a Pre-school. I’ve experience with kids between the ages of 5 weeks-11 years-old. I've been told that I’m very reliable, organised and good at working on my own initiative. I'm not afraid of a challenge and I like meeting new people and experience other places/cultures. I'm curious, happy, responsible, mature, calm, patient and energetic. I love being outside with kids and in my previous jobs I've taken the kids to the park or out in the garden at least once a day. I'd like to continue that since it's such a nice way to use energy, experience and play for everybody no matter age or height:-) I also like going to the library, zoo, beach, play grounds…anything that’s interesting and needs to be explored!!! I know that being a nanny requires flexibility because unexpected things suddenly can happen and I'm generally very flexible if I have to stay a little longer than planned on some days. There wont be any problems with occasional overnight stays if needed. I’ll do light cleaning, laundry, run errands or do dishes. I only have a Danish drivers license but I’m VERY familiar with public transport and I wont have any problems braving muni, street cars or trains with your kid/kids if you feel comfortable with that. A little about me: I have always been very active and I like swimming, biking and doing gymnastics. I find that it calms me and makes me feel good about myself! I love taking feel-trips out in the blue with my camera -please don't be scared if you find me crawling around taking pictures of your floor, shoes or staieway (or your kid of course:-) )!!!!. I really enjoy photography and I'm strongly considering taking an education as a photographer at some point! I like most food -except fish!! I prefer fruit and vegetables to meat and I try to eat as healthy as possible. I love travelling and I've been travelling extensively in Europe, I've lived and worked in Scotland and the USA for 1 year and 15 months respectively. Music has become a big passion of mine after living in Scotland, the British music scene is just amazing and I'm very much into indie music and enjoy going to gigs! I appriciate trips to museums especially if they've got an exhibition with photography. Lying in bed with a good book and a cup of tea or a long warm bath is pure luxury for me! I currently live in Oakland and I'm looking for a job in Oakland, Berkeley or San Francisco. I have great reference. I’ve taken classes in childcare, safety and development, I’ve been TB tested and have had a FBI livescan. I really hope to hear from you and answer any questions you might have. Sincerely, Ida
