Personal introduction

Hi family, thank you for taking the time to read my profile! I'm Meritxell, though most people call me Meri, a young 18 year old passionate about childcare. With previous experience in caring for children, my dedication and affection towards them are my main qualities. In addition, my skill in karate, where I hold a black belt, has taught me discipline and patience, fundamental qualities for working with children. My dream is to pursue a career in early childhood education in order to contribute to the development and well-being of children, and I am ready to embark on this adventure and share my love for children and culture! My great passion is karate. I have been practicing since I was 5 years old. A couple of years ago after a trajectory with many titles I got the black belt. In addition, in 2019 I got a bronze medal at the European Championships held in Portugal. I also like spending time with my family, going to the orchard, watching a movie, going for a walk, visiting new places... I also like to be with my friends, we always have fun and we love to make plans together. Some Sundays I like to go to church and participate in the masses as a reader of the readings. To travel to as many countries as I can is one of my biggest dreams, the fact of knowing every corner of the world and cultures calls my attention. * I am currently working as an au pair in Edinburgh with 3 girls, but from November I would like to have the opportunity to change host families. This would allow me to gain more experience with different children and explore other cultures in a more enriching way * I have always liked children. Therefore, for years I have been taking care of the little ones in my house, my cousins. I also took care of my small neighbors, in the mornings I prepared them to take them to school. I also worked for a while in a kindergarten on the slopes of Boi Taull (Catalonia). Lastly, I have worked in a children's camp, taking care of them in the mornings and doing activities in the countryside and in the swimming pool. I am an only child, but that has not prevented me from gaining childcare experience throughout my life. At the moment the qualifications are: the B1 of French and the C1 of Catalan. My mother tongue is Spanish. I have little knowledge of English, so I would love to live this adventure to learn as much as possible. I am willing to learn as much as possible and to help with everything I can to make this experience the best possible for both sides. If you want to know more about me or have any questions do not hesitate to contact me without any commitment, I will be happy to meet you.
