DORA, 23 YEARS

Hello! My name is Dora, and I’m a passionate, reliable, and creative young woman from Kenya with a background in law and a love for the arts. I am excited to become an au pair because I enjoy helping children explore their potential while sharing my own skills and experiences.** In 2021, I had the wonderful opportunity to care for three-year-old Adam and two-month-old Sarah, which taught me the importance of patience, nurturing, and adaptability in childcare. From tending to their needs, keeping Adam engaged with fun and educational activities, to soothing baby Sarah, I have gained hands-on experience with both toddlers and infants. This has prepared me to be attentive, organized, and loving in my care. As a spoken word artist, author, and singer, I have a deep appreciation for creativity and communication. I’ve authored two anthologies—*The Fight I Had to Fight* (a collection of short stories) and *Jewels from My Heart* (a collection of poems)—which reflect my passion for storytelling and self-expression. I have also been recognized for my public speaking skills, having represented my university in moot court competitions, where I was listed among the best orators. I have also been actively involved in mental health advocacy and team leadership. My time as a regional coordinator for a global organization, as well as my work in law firms, has given me valuable skills in responsibility, teamwork, and maintaining a safe, positive environment for those around me. Beyond my professional experience, I am someone who truly values family and tradition, balancing simplicity with a desire to explore the world. I am excited to immerse myself in new cultures, learn from your family, and share the warmth and richness of Kenyan culture. I am especially drawn to activities like storytelling, singing, and crafting, which I believe help children grow in confidence and creativity. I am eager to contribute not just as a caregiver but as a member of your family, bringing joy, laughter, and positive energy to your home. I would be delighted to support your children with schoolwork, playtime, and any daily routines that nurture their well-being. I’m looking forward to this cultural exchange opportunity and hope to connect with a family that values open communication, respect, and care. This includes your specific childcare experience with Adam and Sarah, which should add value to your profile!
