my name is Iryna.
I am 23 years old. I live in Illichivsk, in the town near Odessa,
situated on the Black Sea coast. At the moment I am finishing my
university, my specialty – economics. Also I work as secretary in
the building company.My family is not big: my parents, younger
sister. Also we have a dog and a cat and even chickens at my parents’
place .My
father was policeman before and now he works as the head of the
security department at the enterprise.My mother works as a
saleswoman.My sister, Diana, is 19 years old. She is a student.I have
a lot of interest: I love to travel, books are my passions, I like
to needlework, to decoupage, to paint on glass, several times a week
I do sport (jogging or bicycle) and I like camping in mountains. I
adore nature, so I like to walk in the parks or on the coast. And,
of course, for me is important to communicate with people. The main
motivation for me – is opportunity to travel. I enjoy life and I
like to discover as much as I can: new culture, new country. So
aupair program is perfect for me, I have great opportunity to know
everything living in the family. I think it is the best way to know
new country. Also it is perfect for me, because I love kids, I feel
comfortable with them as so do they.
I
have big experience with kids:
2008
– 2009 years – aupair in Belgium . I was living with very
nice people, I had 3 wonderful children. At the beginning Anna was 6
years old, Elsa - 4 years old, Luca – 1 year old. All of them are
very intelligent, kind and talented, for me it was real pleasure to
be with them that year. Most of the time I was with girls, I
brought them to the school and back, after school made something to
eat and we were together till parents came home. We painted, played,
sometimes went to the park. Also once a week I brought them to
sport lessons. Sometimes they invited friends or cousins and I was
with them. With Luca I was in the evenings or when family went away
somewhere he was too little to go. I bathed children in the
evenings. In the house I did laundry, ironing, washing dishes. Also
I was responsible that in the children’s rooms was clean enough.
There was clean lady once a week so I didn’t do general cleaning
in the house.
In
2010 year I had great chance to come to Belgium again with group of
25 kids (8-17 years old) for one month. They stayed in Belgian
families for resort and another woman and me from Ukrainian side had
to be sure that everything is alright and child doesn’t have
problems with the family and also we were with kids during road.
Also
sometimes I do babysitting for my friends’ children. Age of
children 1-10 years old.
I
think the most important in raising children is to love kids and to
respect them, also by showing the own behavior what is good and what
is bad.
