Description

Hi I’m Astrid! I’m from the US and have been au pairing for the past 3 years. I started au pairing in Japan for two boys (8 and 6) teaching them English, then New Zealand for three girls (1, 3, and 5), and now Australia for two boys (4 and 6) cooking all of the family meals. Before au pairing I did freelance babysitting for multiple families with infants to preteens, supporting daily routines, school drop off and pickup, playtime, homework, and bedtime.

I would say that I am a very independent person and always try to take initiative in things, I love challenging myself and learning new things. I love playing the drums, fashion design, and soccer/football. I really love making things whether it’s baking, drawing, painting, or sewing, art always makes me happy! I am very patient and adaptable.
