Miguel Angel, au pair in Bath

• Dependable and trustworthy. I absolutely love working with children and take my responsibilities very seriously.
• Give Spanish language instruction on request. Learning a language is much easier for children than for adults. Children, due to a brain plasticity, build very complex information for adults unconsciously and effortlessly. After puberty, due to the loss of brain plasticity, new languages are stored in a different area of the brain so people have to translate or use their mother tongue as a path to a new language, preventing the acquisition of linguistic structures innately. The sooner they start the better. With children, teaching should be based on social interaction with their environment. This way, learning occurs in an unconscious and spontaneous way. Therefore, an au-pair can facilitate a natural way of learning.
• Ability and initiative to play and organize activities with children.
• Knowledge of nutrition and enjoy cooking.
• Experienced driver in the UK. Currently possess a valid drivers’ license.
• Flexibility regarding working hours, weekends, nights, holiday...
• Desires a long-term position.

I’m a twenty-six year old Spanish male from Zaragoza. I love football, outdoor activities and dogs. I want to gain more experience teaching Spanish and build a career. In the future I would like to be proud to have helped my families and shared that wonderful period in people lives.
My ideal situation would be joining a relaxed family with some kids teaching them Spanish.
