How to create multiline TextBox in Xamarin.Forms

Question

How to create multiline TextBox in Xamarin.Forms?

With some research I found that it can be done with <Editor> tag in XAML page with custom font size and style but that creates center aligned text. However I want to start cursor and text from top left.

The Editor is used for collecting text that is expected to take more than one line. Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms" 
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml" 
x:Class="TextSample.EditorPage"
Title="Editor">
    <ContentPage.Content>
        <StackLayout>
            <Editor Text="Editor is used for collecting text that is expected to take more than one line." BackgroundColor="#2c3e50" HeightRequest="100" />
        </StackLayout>
    </ContentPage.Content>
</ContentPage>
