Hello! My name is Vanessa, I am 23 years old and I just completed my associate degree at Northern Virginia Community College (4.0 GPA). I am planning on continuing my education this fall and take some time now to figure out what I want to get my bachelor’s degree in. I was born and raised in Austria - therefore fluent in German. In 2015 I was part of a program called “Cultural Care Au Pair” which is what initially brought me to the United States. I moved back for my husband and we have been married for 2 years. I have tons of child care experience. I´ve started babysitting when I was 13 and I looked after children all the way through high school. I also volunteered for a program that provided free child care for mothers with postpartum depressions. After that I did above mentioned exchange-program which is like Read more being a live-in nanny. I spent a year with a wonderful family and looked after their children for 10 hours per day. My “host-mum” is a pediatrician in Woodbridge and I am certain that she will provide great references. To qualify for the program alone 200 hours of child care were required and then 200 additional ones as I took care for a baby (12 weeks when I arrived). The older one was 4. Three years later I am still considered part of the family and am occasionally babysitting. I do have experience with older children too and tutored as well. While I am very patient with the little ones, I am also positive, uplifting, and encouraging. I am all my nieces’ and nephews’ favorite auntie and am very good and reading their little personalities and adapting to their ways and needs. Creative time is something I truly enjoy, and I will search Pinterest for hours to find little programs to do. I am also active and a nature lover and will go out in any weather. Furthermore, I wouldn’t mind doing light house work such as laundry and cooking. Finally, I absolutely love pets! Kind regards, Vanessa
