About AdrianaBack to Top
Dear Family, My name is Adriana Menegon. I am a 23 year-old (female) Brazilian student. Although I currently live in Dublin, where I am study English, I actually come from Capivari, Brazil. Compared to Dublin, Capivari is a small town (approximately 50,000 inhabitants). I come from a family of 3: My parents, Paulo and Bernadete are farmers and my brother Marcelo he is 19 years old and is a high school student. In about two years I plan to pursue a masters degree, but I am yet to make up my mind concerning my future area of specialization. So, at the moment, I would like to take some time out of academics to have a different life experience, improve my English and to have time to calmly reflect on my future academic/professional orientation. My first language is Portuguese, and I am also intermediate in English. I am nevertheless aware that learning a language within a classroom context is by itself, incomplete. So, in order to really be at ease in English, I feel that a cultural immersion would do me a lot of good. I am particularly interested in experiencing family life in Ireland, since it offers a cultural context that is undoubtedly different from mine. When it comes to child care experience, I have looked after children in both formal and informal contexts. In the informal context is because I am the oldest sister, so I looked after my brother and my cousins as well. In the formal context, it’s because I have major in Portuguese and I spent a six month internship period working in a children's home in Piracicaba, Brazil through the university. There I helped children to learn read and write, I participated the book clubs for kids between 6-10 years old and that experience was very rewarding. After I finish my graduate, I started to work in a private school as a teacher for children among 4 and 5 years old, and I remained there for three years before I decided to come to Dublin to study English. In this work my class had 20 children and the classes were the afternoon. Our routine was to sing songs, to do some activities of the Montessori Method, do lessons in the school handout, go to the playground, play sports, and have a snack among other activities. In Dublin I worked for a family as a childminder during four months, where I cared of two children an 8 year old boy and 11 year old girl. I collected them at school, I cooked the lunch, I helped with homework, played with them, I helped keep the house clean as well among other things. I finish my work with this family because the grandmother went to live with them. After all I can comfortably say that I sincerely enjoy spending time with children. When it comes to me, I take pleasure in read books and write to myself. I like to listen to music and spend time with my boyfriend and friends. I really love cooking and discover new places. As far as preferences are concerned, I am looking for a live-out or childminder that would be happy to work for them. Lastly, although I am quite flexible, I would prefer to have working hours that would allow me to attend morning time English language classes. I would be happy to have the opportunity to speak with you: to answer whatever questions you may have about me or my childcare experiences; to learn more about your family; your interests and to know more about what you expect from the au pair arrangement. If you need of references, I can provide my previously references from Brazil and Ireland. Thank you very much for your interest in my application! I look forward to hearing from you.
