Nanny in North York, Ontario

Dear host family, My name is sharienell stephens I am 20 years old and I live in with My Mother and FAther . I have got a young sister She is 15 years old. We are a very close, sociable and communicative family. My family is so large and I love it. My mother has four sisters and two brothers, and my father has three sisters, so I have many uncles, aunts and little cousins. I love children and I am the oldest one so I have been always taking care of my sister when my parents were at work and also my little cousins in summer, preparing their food, helping them with summer homework, playing and doing crafts together or going to the pool. I have been always surronded children! I love working with children because they know how to get the best out of myself and I try to teach them to do their best. It is a very rewarding job. My family and my friends say that I'm a very motherly, responsible and loving person, furthermore, I love kids, so this year I decided to fulfill my dream of being an au pair in Canada. They support my decision and they are very happy for me. I'm delighted to have the opportunity to improve my English, meet your lifestyle, your habits and your country, which I greatly admire. And what better way than doing what I love! I love spending time with children and learning everything they can teach me every day. They learn a lot of us, but we learn more from them than we think. To me, it's wonderful see them growing up with us and learning, litlle by little, to be more independent. I have experience in caring for children from six months to thirteen years, girls and boys too. In 2015 I took care of Diego, who was six, and Erika, of thirteen. The experience was great. I used to wake up the children, have breakfast together, help them to get dressed, going to the pool or play charades because they liked it. Afterwards, I took care of Emma who loved watching how I made plasticine figures to later trying to make them on his own. am a very responsable girl so I used to help her in her summer homework and when she finished we used to go to the swimming pool. Sometimes, I dressed up with her and we played making up each other or cooking cookies, because what she liked the most was surprising her mother with chocolate cookies made by herself. On the other hand, I liked Diego experience. He was a baby of six months and I had to prepare his bottles, fed him, help him to develop the skills that a baby of his age begins to learn, like turns from side to explore around, entertaining him with toys or helping him to sleep. Besides childcare experience, I also love reading books and newspaper every day when I have some leisure time, listening to the radio and watching movies, traveling and learning about other cultures and ways of life, meeting new people, talking and sharing experiences, going out with friends or preparing lunch or dinner with my family or with my friends too. I like healthy eating, cooking and trying new flavors but, therewith, I love making cakes and butter or chocolate cookies, brownies, cheesecakes and fruit smoothies. I find very entertaining teaching children how to prepare desserts and funny smoothies. I am so excited with the opportunity to know you better and to be a member of your family. I hope you had fun reading my letter and knowing a bit more about me and my dream. My Best wishes
