"Dear Family" Letter:

What profession did you choose and why did you do so?

Hello, my name is Jasmin, I have been in New York since January 12 and until now I have lived in a family with 4 children. I would like to continue to use the opportunity to apply my skills and abilities and develop professionally and personally. I have chosen the educater because I find it very exciting to support the children in discovering their own world and to accompany then for a part of their lives. e.g. in my internship at the time, I did a small educational program with the children and they enjoyed it so much that I was asked if we could do it again. I find it fascinating when the children find something great, e. g. an educational offer and enchant me with their laughter or just smile at me

Why did you decide to work as a care professional abroad?

I am very open-minded, curious and very eager to learn an I want to get know other cultures. I would also like to develop personally and professionally. Furthermore, I quickly learn new day structures. In stressful situations, I remain calm and organized and manage the situation confidently. I have already received praise from colleagues for this.

Why are you the best fit for a family and what are your specials skills when working with children?

I am a very open-minded person, inquisitive and motivated. I like to get to know new things and I am capable of criticism. I record daily routines very quickly and can implement them. I am creative, sporty and reliable. I played in a volleyball club for 5 years, because of my training I have less time for it and I only play volleyball in my free time. I liked the atmosphere in the team, that you supported each other, motivated each other and were always there for each other.

How do you like to spend your free time?

In my free time I play volleyball and meet with friends. I am currently preparing for a triathlon. When I have the opportunity, I like to travel very much

How would you describe your driving skills?

I drive safely and in an exemplary manner, parking is no problem for me. I drive with children in the car, for example with my cousin (4). I mostly drive in city traffic and on the highway. I have experience in driving in all weather conditions and feel safe doing so. I drive my grandmother's car and have been accident free for 2. 5 years. I have experience with gear shifting but am able to switch to automatic.

What would you like to tell your host children and their parents?

Hello Kids, I am Jasmin and look forward to the exciting time. I am an educator in education and like to play volleyball, football, ride a bike and read books. Besides, I love to bake, maybe we can do these nice things together. What do you like to do? I also have pets, 4 cats and 1 dog. Do you have pets? Im very happy to meet you.

What else should a family know about you?

I don't have allergies, I don't have an extraordinary diet but I am afraid of spiders. I like being out in the fresh air in the wind and weather and I learn quickly.

What are some ways you can think of to prevent and deal with culture shock and home sickness when they arise?

I don't have homesickness. When I'm homesick, I look at pictures of family and friends. I think, no matter where I am, I'm not out over the world.
