Hello! My name's Oliwia, I'm 23 years old and I came from Poland. I have a year of experience as an Au Pair! I worked in Norway for a wonderful family of 5, with 3 amazing, loud and energetic girls aged 3, 5 and 7.

Before that, I had the opportunity to work as an Educator in Spain, where I'd conduct classes of Polish to groups of kids aged 2-3 and 4-6 yo in a fun way :) I adore kids, their curiosity, and the ease they have in finding beauty in the simplest things!

And, what's even more important for them, is that we have fun :)
