Dear Family. I'm portuguese, in Portugal I helped my aunt look after her two young boys. I also went to live for a time with another aunt when she needed help because she had a baby, and again when she had a second baby. So I am really used to working with children and mothers, helping them with housework and cooking. While I was working in the military hospital as an auxiliary nurse. I often used my aunt’s car, to do the shopping etc. I took my driving test in Lisbon, and am used to city driving, but would like a few practice sessions before driving children in the UK. Then I would be very happy to take them to their sporting activities and encourage them. I used to take part in competitive gymnastics until 2008. At the moment I'm in London. I hope to enter nursing training in UK in September 2011 or March 2012, and already have the necessary entrance requirements, except I need to improve my English. Although I studied English for 5 years in secondary school, my ability to communicate in English is good at the moment, work with a family where I can practise, it will be excelent, so I should like to be in a home where at least one of the children is of school-age. I came to the UK from March and I worked as aupair since then. If you think I would be the right person to help your family, I will do my best to fit in with your needs.
Yours sincerely,
Lavinia Costa
