Notice Board

Dear future host family,

My name is Philine Gatzmaga, I am 17 years old and I live with my family in Oberaspach, a small village in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. I am currently completing my high school diploma and by July, I will have my Abitur. In summer, I will be doing an internship as a nurse. After finishing school, I want to spend about ten months as an Au Pair in another country before embarking on my university studies in medicine next year. I would love to start working as an Au Pair in November after turning 18 on October 16.

I come from a loving and supportive family and I have an older sister who is currently pursuing her PhD in Mathematics in London, England. My father is a registered company auditor and tax consultant. He runs his own business in the next bigger city. My mother works as a graphic designer in a big machinery-building company in our hometown. Growing up in a close-knit environment has taught me the importance of responsibility and empathy – qualities that I believe are essential for working with children.

In my free time, I am a very active person. I have been passionate about ballet for many years, I enjoy playing the piano and I go three times a week to the gym. Additionally, I love spending time outdoors, whether it is going on excursions, hiking, exploring nature or simply being active with friends.

I like to discover new places, immersing myself in different cultures and meeting new people. I have been fortunate to visit countries such as South Africa, Australia, USA, England, China, Malaysia and Thailand with my family. Moreover, I had the opportunity to participate in an exchange program in Epinal, France. These experiences have shaped me into an open-minded, independent and culturally curious person who thrives in new environments.
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to connect with people, especially children. I am a very creative person who has always plenty of ideas to keep children engaged- whether through games, crafts, outdoor activities or simply fostering a joyful and caring atmosphere. I like to support children in their development, encourage their curiosity and make sure they feel safe and happy. At the same time, I am highly responsible and take my duties seriously. I complete my tasks with diligence and enthusiasm, always ensuring that I am a reliable and supportive presence for those around me.

I believe that working as an Au Pair is a perfect opportunity for me- not only to support a family and their children but also broaden my horizons, improve my language skills and experience life in another culture. As a native German speaker, I am also fluent in English (C1 level) and French (C1 level). Moreover, I already have my driver‘s license, which I believe will be highly beneficial in assisting with daily tasks and responsibilities.

It would be a great pleasure for me to become part of your family, support your children and contribute to your daily life with positivity and dedication.

Best regards, Philine
