I'm an
Individual
Dear Host family, Hello, my name is Poppy Thallon and I am a 20-year-old Australian girl who is currently living in Victoria, British Columbia. As an au pair I am prepared to help out in anyway that I can; house keeping, making dinner, bath and bedtime and day activities. My experience in house keeping comes from working at my parents two hostels where my mother is in charge of training the cleaners. I got involved in helping with making beds, folding and washing laundry, bleaching bathrooms and kitchens from a young age. Growing up I was introduced to a multitude of different cuisines. This has since inspired me throughout my adult years to learn and expand my repertoire of healthy and nutritious foods. Growing up in the Northern part of Queensland, I was very much an outdoorsy child. This means you can expect a lot of outdoor activities. I am also very into baking, arts and crafts and imaginative play. I am also prepared to help with reading and story time. As I have a drivers license in Australia, if I am required for transport or taking the children to daily activities this will be no hassle. I am interested in working for a family or a single parent family, with anywhere up to three, children ranging from ages one to fourteen. My experience working in childcare has been primarily within ski instructing, I also worked a summer in Milan, Italy as an au pair. Working two ski seasons, both of which has been in the Kids Centre, I have spent 800 plus hours working with children of all different age ranges. All throughout my years during high school I spent time babysitting children of family friends, and have continued this during the ski seasons for families of the children that I instruct. I have enjoyed working with children as a ski instructor because I love to watch the children progress and teach them new things in a fun, safe and exciting way. My passion for working with children and eagerness to experience new things and places is what has driven me to want to pursue working as an Au pair. My family, friends and co-workers describe me as outgoing, hard working, fun, caring and responsible. I am very enthusiastic about learning and experiencing what life has to offer and always take pleasure in meeting new people. My hobbies include skiing, snowboarding, singing, dancing, acting. My parents took my two older sisters and myself on a ski holiday when I was five years of age, this is where I learnt to ski, and since then I have continued my love for skiing. Growing up I was very involved in performing arts, and would always participate in school performances as well as extra curricular drama classes. I would well suited and equipped to get involved in playtime.
