My name is Anneli, but you can call me Annie or Amee. I am a happy and cheerful 19 year old who currently are staying in London. I'm staying here to look for a job. If I had to describe myself in three words I would use calm, reliable and positive. I graduated from Fågelviksgymnasiet in June this year and since then I've wanted to see the world.
My mum, Agneta (57) is a personal assistant/housewife and my dad (60) is a factory employee. They live in a typical Swedish house, a red house with white gables. They have a lovely cat named Angus.
I have two sisters, Susanne (36) and Angelica (20). Susanne has two boys, Mikael (13) and Daniel (12). I have been looking after both boys‘ from time to time since they were just months old. I have changed nappies when they were little, played with them outside and inside, made their dinner, supervised bed time, helped with their homework etc. And since I passed my driving licence test in June 2009, I have been taking them on road trips to amusement parks, to the sea and other fun places.
I love being with children, being outdoors, baking, cooking, trying out new recipes, singing, skiing, painting, walking, jogging and spend time with good friends and family. I am a real star in the kitchen when it comes to baking. What I am most famous for around my neighbourhood is my cupcakes, carrot cakes and cream cakes.
I have been living on my own since I was 16. I had to move out of my parents’ house to be able to continue my studies at upper secondary school. During these two years that I have lived on my own I have developed a very big interest in cooking and baking, and have learnt how to clean up after myself, wash my own clothes and to be independent. I am very grateful for my parents’ since they let me move when I was just 16 years old. I have grown as a person during these three years and learned that, when you live on your own and want something done, you have to do it yourself.
I would like to be an Au Pair to improve my English, and to get a British accent which I like so much. The reason I want to work as an Au Pair in the UK is, besides of the beautiful language of course, the culture and the people. I have been interested in British history and culture for many years I have visited Britain five times now and I have loved every single day that I've spent in the country. I remember the first time I was in the UK, I visited a friend of mine in Aldershot and I was shocked by how kind British people are compared to Swedes.
After my year in Britain I hope that I will have figured out what I want to do in my life. I will probably go back to Sweden and study, as for now I am choosing between study for a dietitian or an English teacher. After my year as an au pair I hope that I will have gotten more life experience and experienses that will come in hand later in life.
Kind regards,
Anneli Eriksson
