Hello, my name is Imogen, a spirited individual with a heart full of love for children and a sense of adventure.
I am from the picturesque landscapes of Devon in South West England. Raised in a single-parent household, I am the proud older sister to two lively boys, who are 12 and 14 years younger than me. From early on, my life was shaped by the responsibilities and joys of caring for my younger siblings. As a child myself, I assumed roles beyond my years, fostering a deep connection with my brothers that went beyond familial ties. Growing up on my mother's farm provided a unique backdrop for our childhood. These early experiences not only cultivated a strong work ethic but also gave me a profound sense of responsibility and compassion, especially towards the younger members of our family.

I carried my passion for caregiving into my teenage years. Babysitting not only became a way to earn a little extra pocket money but also a platform to further develop my nurturing instincts. The laughter of children and the satisfaction of contributing to their well-being became an integral part of my identity.
I pursued a degree in International Business in the vibrant city of Bristol. My academic journey opened new doors, leading me to the London, where I became a Networking and Cyber Security specialist. The transition from the idyllic countryside to the fast-paced urban life was challenging yet rewarding, shaping me into a resilient and adaptable individual.

After almost two years in London's corporate world my professional journey was marked by exciting challenges and accomplishments in Networking and Cyber Security. While the world of technology fascinated me, I realised my true calling lay in the heartfelt connections in caring for others, especially children. I desired to immerse myself in the joy of nurturing young minds, and decided to pivot my career toward something more fulfilling – becoming an au pair.
The decision was not only a professional one but a deeply personal one. I wanted to return to the roots of my happiness, where the laughter of children and the simplicity of everyday life held unparalleled significance. Au pairing, to me, is not just a job; it's a calling to weave a wealth of experiences that enrich both my life and the lives of the children under my care.

These experiences include my love for travel, cultivated during my time in London, aligns with the adventurous spirit of au pairing. I am not just seeking to be a caregiver; I want to blend cultural exchange, language learning, and skill development into a holistic and transformative experience. Beyond English, I have a basic understanding of French, German, and Spanish with an eagerness to learn more! The prospect of immersing myself in new languages, customs, and skills excites me, and I am open to embracing the richness of diverse cultures.
