Description
Hi! I am a 25 year old girl from New Zealand.
I have more than a year of Au Pair experience, and am looking for a place to call home for a month or two this summer, ideally in Sicily!
I have lots of childcare experience, as well as 2 years of tutoring experience with young children. I am a native speaker of English and Japanese, and have a C1 level in French.
I am taking a gap year between my Masters and PhD in Classical Studies (litteratura classica) and really really want to improve my Italian (it is very beginner level...). I love spending time with children, immersing myself in new cultures, and getting to know new people. I still have a strong relationship with my previous host family in Paris, and would love to make the acquaintance of a new family like this:)
