Nataliya b.

Hello my future Host family!

My name is Nataliya. I'm 21 years old. I'm from Ukraine. I have a large family. There are five of us: mother, her name is Marina. She is a housewife; father, his name is Gena. He is automobile mechanic; grandmother, her name is Natalia Evgrafovna. She is on pension; grandfather, his name is Vladimir Olekseevich. He is on pension too; and I. Also I have a lot of relatives, sisters and brothers. My family is very friendly and all holidays we spend together. I have a pet. It is a cat. Her nickname is Matilda. I like to play with her very much.

Now I want to tell you about my hobbies. One of my hobbies is to collect sugar sticks. My second hobby is to travel. I like to visit different new cities and countries and to know more about places that I visit. I like to learn foreign languages. Except English, I learn Spanish, little French and Italian. Also I'm fond of football. I like to watch it not on TV , but also to visit games on stadium.

I have some experience in working with children. I have a little cousin Anton, we spend a lot of time together. He is 2,5. Also I have a little neighbor Zahar. He is 2,3. He comes to visit us every evening. Also I give English lessons to two children. One of them is Daniil. He is 8 years old. We spend with him a lot of time off our lessons. The other child is called Dima. He is 14. In general, I spend with children 12 hours per week.

I want to take part in the Au Pair program, first of all, because I like to spend time with children and in future I want to use my experience in working with children in my future job. Secondly, I want to know more about Norway, its' traditions and culture and to learn the Norwegian language. Thirdly, it is very interesting to meet new people. I'm sure this program will help me to self-development and to give me new experience in working with children. I think that's all that I wanted to tell you about myself. I hope soon we could know each other better and you could know more about me.

Best wishes, Nataliya.
