Mariana De Swardt

Fresh out of high school, I took a gap year and became an au pair for 3 differently unique families.

I was responsible, initiative and attentive to the children's needs. Punctuality and neatness was something I valued and always made sure to hold it to a high standard.

I've been able to learn both Dutch and German at intermediate levels. I've traveled across Europe to wonderful destinations like, Paris and Sardinia.

During this developmental year, I've learned to become well spoken and professional.

Starting from the age of 12, I would volunteer at local churches during school holidays. This was a Christian based program, called KidsGames. I would mainly be responsible for facilitating groups of children, ages 5 - 10.

Here I would lead outdoor and indoor games, preform in emotive theatre and dress up. other activities include, sports and (my favorite) arts and crafts
