“Since I’ve been coaching the kids in track and field, I started to understand what it means to work with children, and the truth is I absolutely fell in love with it. For me, there is nothing more honest than a kid’s laughter because it comes deep down from their heart, and there is no better feeling than seeing the kids leave practice with a smile. So I figured out for myself that I want to work with kids in any kind of way. I never had the plan to go to college right after high school. I wanted to do a gap year. So I matched these two interests and came to the conclusion: I’m becoming an Au Pair.”
