25 year-old, experienced au pair and child care provider from the US
|
Hello! My name is Diana, I am 25 years old and moved to Newcastle, Australia about 4 months ago from the US. Since I have been in Australia, I’ve been an au pair for two children, aged 7 and 9. I have been living with them and taking care of them for almost 4 months now. My role as an au pair has consisted of helping them get ready for school in the mornings, driving them to school and/or other sports and activities, cooking dinners, helping with homework, putting them to bed, and overall making sure they are safe and happy :)
In the US, I was a volunteer and intern for an organization called Arts In Reach, a community that empowers teenage girls through the arts. I also worked at an after-school program at a local elementary school, where I helped plan, organize and monitor the activities for the children, as well as teaching my own clubs for the children. For my college senior capstone project, I created a book of craft activities for children that aid in mindfulness practices.
I love working with children and especially enjoy doing mindful activities with them, in order to help them stay present and enjoy life!
