Au Pair
Italy
I lived in Pescara, Italy to teach English and knowledge of the American culture to Italian children - while also evolving personally by emerging myself into their culture. My beautiful host family gave me a unique and valuable opportunity to care for and lead their 3 children; they quickly became a second family to me. While improving their English and cultural awareness, I was also responsible for helping them with daily life. It was my responsibility to get the kids to school and activities safely and on time. In addition to practical work, I also helped the children develop social skills and led by example to ensure they grew up to be good, quality humans. We taught each other many things, academically, socially, and culturally. I thrived in an unknown territory and learned many qualities within myself - I am an efficient problem-solver, a critical thinker, and a natural leader. Living, and flourishing, in a foreign country proved that I am more than capable of conquering challenges and unforeseeable events. This is an experience I will never forget and will cherish deeply in my heart forever.
