Introduzione personale

Hi future host family! My name is Valentina, and I am 18 years old. To describe myself in a few words, I am a very cheerful, active, creative, loving, empathetic, and caring person who loves challenging myself, staying busy, and making happen what I put my mind to! When I have free time, you will almost always find me outside. I love being outdoors, hiking, swimming, doing sports, traveling, and exploring new places. Growing up, I did rhythmic gymnastics and horseback riding, and I loved both of them! I was also always surrounded by animals, caring for our family dog, bunny, and hamsters, so I am very comfortable around pets. When I'm relaxing at home, I love getting cozy with a good book, watching my favorite TV series, cooking up delicious meals, or working on my scrapbooks to save all my favorite memories. Since I can remember, I have wanted to be a teacher. That is why my course of studies includes subjects like psychology, pedagogy, and sociology, which I thoroughly enjoy studying. I love working with children and I am so excited to bring a positive, caring energy to your daily family life! I cannot wait to share this wonderful chapter together. During this experience, I really want to become a part of your daily routine and a real part of your and your kids' lives. My hope is to build a connection so strong that we stay in touch even long distance after my time as an Au Pair! I don't expect perfection—just good communication, mutual understanding, and respect from both sides. For me, this journey is a chance to get to know myself better while doing what I love the most every day: taking care of children. It is truly my passion, what I enjoy doing most, and what genuinely makes me happy!
