Hello Host Family!
I'm Paulette, I'm 21 years old and I'm from Argentina. I was born on a little town called Bialet Masse, in the Córdoba province. Argentinian people is cheerful, funny, and love to spend time with friends and family, we like to see our friends often and drink some “mate” (Argentinian tea) while having long conversations about pretty much anything you can think of! We are good listeners and talkers.
I've enjoyed an amazing year as an au pair on Maryland, with a host family that made me always feel really comfortable. In my free time I went to a flight school to get my Private Pilot License, it was so much fun but also a lot of studying and effort.
I take care of a baby boy that was 9 months old when I got here, he was born prematurely and he was unable to eat by mouth so he had a feeding tube, I learned how to use a feeding pump, how to do calories calculations and how to “vent” the gasses from his stomach through the tube. Also, he was on 4 different medications that I had to give him at different times throughout the day. After 4 months of feeding therapist visits and a lot of encouraging techniques at home, he was able to eat by mouth and currently he is not getting any food through the tube! We are all super happy about his improvement. Other than that he's always been a normal baby, I use to change his diapers, prepare his meals, put him to sleep, bath him and play a lot! I only speak spanish to him since the family wanted him to learn both English and spanish languages from the earliest age.
I also take care of a boy who turned 5 years old on September. I prepare his breakfast and help him get ready for his dad to take him to school. Then at the end of my day I wait for him at the bus stop, I make sure he washes his hands and I clean him if he had an “accident” since he's not fully potty trained yet. Then we find some fun activity to play both boys and me. I try to keep a close relationship with him even tho I don't take care of him for a long time during my work hours so I've always try to join either whatever he's playing on my time off or family activities on weekends.
The best part of being an au pair this year was feeling like home with little things like having dinner all together. I have had so much fun with both my host kids and host parents, I've felt like part of the family since day 1 and that allowed me to enjoy every day working for them. I've learned a lot about English local expressions, American culture, and also I gained a lot of new childcare experiences.
My current host family always took good care of my needs: they know I like to sleep until late on Sundays so they try not to be that loud, I'm not picky with food but they know I like to eat fruit and yoghurt so they have included those things to their grocery list. I have a private bathroom which I think is an important part of my privacy and I have a car that I can use on my free time since the distances here are long and uber is expensive.
My first year as au pair is sadly coming to an end and I decided to find another family for my extension year starting the second week of December 2019 (I'm so interested on going to Florida!!). I have Maryland's driver license and I'm willing to drive for my next host family! I'm also Infant Qualified, and I'm a good swimmer. I would also love to teach spanish to kids!
I'm looking for a host family that is really interested on having the au pair as a family member and that is willing to help me feel comfortable.
I wish you have a good day and I hope to hear from you and your family!
Sincerely,
Paulette
