Background Information

Hello, my name is Carol. I come from the rural
Northern Part of Michigan. I grew up on a dairy farm with two older
brothers, an older sistr, and a little sister. Nice big farm family.
I start working on the farm at an early age and continued to work
there through high school and on breaks through out University. I was
an All-American Athlete in High school for Basketball and Track and
Field(shot Put and Discus). I was also active in student government
and Special Olympics. I went on to Michigan state University as a
thrower for the Track and Field Team. I got a degree in Political
Science. While I was at University I started helping out with some
children I knew that were home schooled and found I liked teaching.
Through out university I traveled to Africa, Central America, and
British Isles and Eastern Europe. After graduating I went on to join
the Peace Corps and Teachin Kyrgyzstan. It was quite an experience. I
lived a couple hours away from the nearest English speaker. I learned
a lot from that experience and was trained in teaching and making
resources from virtually nothing.
I am currently working as an Au Pair in the Netherlands. I live on a
farm in the south west corner of Friesland(a northern provience). I
take care of four children while often chaotic and crazy I have found
it an all around enjoyable experience. I ahve gotten to travel around
Europe and learn Dutch which has been alot of fun. In my spare time
here I am on a basketball team, volleyball team, and Korfbal team. I
also enjoy cycling. I like getting out and about and being as active
as possible.
I have a passion for photography. I have worked a few different jobs
in it. If you would like to see some random photos from my travels
you can check out :http://picasaweb.google.com/carolspacelynn/

I will be with the family I'm working for till January '09. They
asked me t extend since they have a new bor and would like the child
to be a bit bigger before the new Au Pair comes. I'm an open and
welcoming person and willing to answer any questions you might have
so feel free to email me.
