Dear Future Host Family, My name is Elisabet, and I was born july 28th 1990. I live in a small town. I live at home with my dad, my mom, and my younger brother, who is 17 months younger than me. We also have a dog, his name is Oskar, he is a 7 years old poodle. The closest bigger city from Morgongåva is Uppsala. From Morgongåva to Uppsala it is 42 km. The education I took was nursing and medical care. I am a positive, caring, responsible, honest, mature and reliable person. And I am also a very good listener. That is also something my friends say that I am. And something that is very good to have when you working with children, and that I think I have, is patience. Patience I think is great to have when you working with children, because sometimes they don´t always do what you tell them to do. I want to be an au pair for one simple reason, I love children. I want to work with children, because I think you get so much in return when you working with children. When a child smile or laugh, that can make my whole day. I know I want to work with children even after I have been an au pair. And I think being an au pair is great experience to have for future jobs. After being an au pair I have thought about going back to school and study to be a child nurse or a midwife. Activities I like to do with children is all kinds of different things. If the weather is good, I like to be outside. Go to the park or playground. Or just be outside and play in the backyard. Maybe arrange a playdate and have a picnic in the park. Activities I like to do is arts and crafts, my mom have had an arts and crafts group for children for several years, and I help her. So that is something I like to do with your children, if they want to. And I also like to bake cakes and cookies. That is also something I would happily like to do with your children. If you choose me to be your new au pair, you will get an au pair that like to do activities with children. I´m looking forward to explore USA, and meet new people. But my number one priority is gonna be your children. In my spare time, I would like to travel around the U.S., and discover the places I always wanted to go to. Going to the U.S. has been a dream of mine for many years. And some of the cities and places I would like to visit at some point in my life is Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, and The Grand Canyon, and many more places... Maybe it will be under my au pair year? I really hope you enjoyed getting to know me more, and I really hope that I am the one that you and your family choose to become you new au pair, and a part of your family. Hope to hear from you soon! Best regards, Elisabet

I have a little over 17 years of professional child care experience. I also have 10 nieces and nephews, so I'm tested (and tested and re-tested) and resoundingly kid-approved. I have experience caring for children of all ages, from infant to young teens. I am CPR and First Aid certified, with a good head on my shoulders. I am patient, competent, creative, kind, intelligent, and take my occupation to heart. I love to sing, read and do arts and crafts with kids. I enjoy taking field trips with children to museums, aquarium, libraries, and various play spaces. In nicer weather, I prefer to spend as much time as possible outdoors, exploring the parks and any other fresh air venue that NYC has to offer. In the past, I have worked in Park Slope, Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill, Ft. Greene/Clinton Hill, and Red Hook, as well as in Staten Island, and am familiar with all of these neighborhoods and the extracurricular activities and opportunities for enrichment available to children in the area. I have also made regular trips into the city for events and classes, and am comfortable both driving and navigating public transportation.

As a Nursing student, I have just finished my pediatric rotation which ranged from emergency pediatric care to care in the hospital setting. Upon graduation as an RN from the University of Scranton, I plan on specializing in pediatric medicine and care. I have worked with the Summer Camp program in Staten Island, NY for the past two years and have greatly enjoyed my job and all the experience I gained from working with a diverse group of kids. I have an American Heart Association CPR/AED of the Adult and Child Certification of the Health Care Professional certification.

I have worked for many years with children; infants to 18 year olds. I have worked in many different settings including, residential treatment center, high schools, children's home for in-home therapy and day care settings. I have a degree in Community Psychology with and emphesis in child and family studies. My passion is working with children! I have worked with at-risk teens, children diagnosed with autism and special education in a high school a part of. I was an Art/photography major my first 5 semesters of college with the intention of pursuing a career in art therapy. Due to lack of classes available for that career at my university I wanted to be sure to bring my passion of working with children and art into my life. I am very creative and always have something exciting to do with the children that I care for. I am loving,loyal and very honest person. I care for all of the children as if they are my own and want to make clear to the families how very important it is that they know their children are with a caring person.

I have over six years of childcare experience now, four of them being a nanny. Before I decided to become a nanny I worked for two schools being head teacher for both classes after that I worked for a daycare for almost 2 years, My title was daycare provider/assistant. While working at the daycare I decided todo part time nanny jobs and weekend nanny jobs so I had a few short term nanny jobs during that time. After being one on one with children and parents it made me realize being a nanny is what I wanted todo full time. I decided to become a nanny in 2013 and it was the best choice I've ever made. My first real nanny job I worked with 3 children full time, The children were aged 1,2,&3 when I started. I handled everything from cooking breakfast,lunch,dinner & any snacks. I got all the children dressed and fed and had the oldest ready for school by 745, I arrived everyday at 6:50am. While the oldest went to school until 4pm, I had both girls all day. I did activities such as coloring and book time and work time consisted of writing and singing the numbers and letters. I brought the kids to the park and libraries even the beach and pool during the summer. I traveled with the family pretty much everywhere, I also went to parent teacher conference for the oldest. I cared for their dog and was available at any time they needed me! I was apart of their family and I wish to have another job similar to this.

I have been watching myself and my brothers since I was eight. When I was about twelve my mother held a daycare out of our home and I helped very much. I helped prepare meals, the care before and after naps. I have read with and too children. I have set up activities and cleaned up after playing with the children. I have been babysitting children since I was twelve and when I lived in Okinawa, Japan my mother had a day-care out in town and one summer that was my summer job to help children hang up their bags once they entered. I had to watch them during play time and make sure everything was safe. I read with them, and prepared everything I shared already just for more children. My six year old brother has autism so I have some experience handling and taking care of him. I enjoying working with little children and can keep up with them with-out loosing my cool.
