Description of tutoring experience
My tutoring experience involved helping my younger sister with her homework and preparing her for tests. When she encountered problems with her learning, I was there to help her through it. Additionally, I worked as an au pair/tutor for a family from the year 2023-2024. It consisted of exam preparations and helping with homework. I also have 3 weeks of teaching practicals at a school for degree purposes :)

Introduction to families
"Dear Family" message
Hello family! I am flower.. literal meaning of my name;) We often give flowers as gifts and I am ready to be a gift to your family. I am a simple person with a spark of colour. Ready to take on the responsibilities that come with taking care of your children.
Why I would make the perfect au pair
I would make the perfect au pair for your family because I honestly just LOVE children! Which is also the reason why I am studying towards being a teacher:) Being able to engage with children & letting their creative juices flow is such a joy to witness!
Hobbies and other interests
My hobbies are swimming, cooking, netball, volleyball and playing board games with family & friends. Since I love using my hands and creating things, I occasionally sew some clothes, bags or whatever items that interests me!
