Personal introduction

Good morning! My name is SILVIA, and I am a Spanish student in my second year at Paul Valery University in France. I am studying Applied Foreign Languages (Arabic-Spanish), so it's clear that I have a passion for languages. I can speak Spanish (which is my native language), French, English, and some Chinese, Italian, and Arabic. I'm a cheerful, responsible, and creative person. I enjoy reading and writing, both classic and contemporary literature. I love children and teaching, which is why I plan to pursue a master's degree in education in the future to become a teacher. I have been caring for children for two years, and I have always had positive experiences. I get along well with children and, being very creative, I often invent games to promote learning and imagination. I have no problem speaking to children in a specific language if required, or even introducing them to a new language through games and simple activities. I am very dynamic and quickly adapt to the routines of new families. Furthermore, I love to travel and explore the world and its various cultures, so I'm always interested in the traditions of the families I work with. I am very responsible, having lived on my own for two years, and I can handle household cleaning and cooking. In fact, I enjoy cooking new recipes and experimenting. I would like to work as an Au Pair during the summer, as I did last year, and it was a fantastic experience that I would love to repeat. It's the perfect opportunity to travel without additional costs, earn some money, and immerse myself in new cultures to enrich my experiences. I already have experience in childcare. I have been a babysitter on numerous occasions, with children aged 2 to 10. Since I was young, I have always taken care of my younger brother and my little cousins. As an adult, I worked in Spain, teaching French to 12-year-old children. In France, I looked after several families, providing snacks to the children, playing with them, and supervising them at night. Additionally, last year I was an Au Pair in Italy for a month, taking care of two children aged 4 and 6. During that month, I was responsible for waking them up, making them breakfast, picking them up from school, playing with them, giving them baths, preparing dinner, and putting them to bed. At times, I helped with household chores or grocery shopping, and so on. It was a wonderful experience; the family and I got along perfectly, and I still stay in touch with them. During my stay, I spoke to the children in Spanish to gradually introduce them to this language. I am a cheerful, charismatic, fun, creative, and responsible person. I love to read and write, create stories and new games, and organize scavenger hunts for children. Another one of my great hobbies is traveling. Whenever I can, I try to travel and discover new cultures and traditions. This way, I have been to countries like Morocco, Albania, Great Britain, Croatia with my family, and alone to others like France, Portugal, Italy. As for sports, I love horseback riding. I rode horses for 6 years, but I eventually had to prioritize my studies and stopped. On the other hand, I enjoy cooking, inventing new recipes, and trying new dishes wherever I go. Additionally, I have a strong interest in learning new languages and understanding how a language is formed, exploring all the secrets hidden behind it. This has led me to learn Spanish, French, English, Chinese, Arabic, and Italian. In the future, I would like to become a primary school teacher, either teaching languages or general subjects. I enjoy being around children and conveying my teachings to others.
