My name is Rica, 28 years old from The Philippines. I am very excited to join this cultural exchange program and be a good and reliable au pair to your family.
As someone who works in the laboratory, I would describe myself as a good multi-tasker, fast learner, clean and organize, which are very essential in being an au pair and a helping hands to your household. I am a trustworthy and positive individual and very passionate at patient to my craft. I love going on an adventure and exploring places. I love to meet new people and learn from them, about their culture and life experiences. I believe this program is the perfect way to get out of my comfort zone, to grow and live a more meaningful life.
My childcare experience includes taking care of my 3 nephew (ages 3, 6 and 7) over the past years. I am in-charge of looking after them, preparing food, help them with their homework and play with them. Witnessing their growth and developing their curiosity to the environment is the most rewarding part of taking care of good kids. This gave me the first-hand experience and understanding to the needs, challenges and little joys of kids today. Growing up in a Filipino family, we are trained to do household chores at a very young age. Besides taking care of the kids, I can do light household tasks like cleaning the house, tidying, washing and ironing clothes, cooking simple meals, washing the dishes and maintaining the kitchenware and equipment clean.
I can assure you that I will be a good role model and a responsible big sister to your kids and a great addition to your family.
