Hi! My name is Catherine—I'm 21 years old and getting ready to graduate from university this May! I'm so excited to begin a new adventure in Italy, where I hope to spend a year (or maybe two!) learning the language, immersing myself in the culture, and experiencing everyday life in your beautiful country.

I’ve been studying Italian for two years and can’t wait to improve by living with a local family and speaking it every day. As a native English speaker with a strong foundation in Italian, I’d also be happy to help your children with English—whether through casual conversation, tutoring, or fun language activities.

I have plenty of experience with children, from babysitting to volunteering with preschoolers through my sorority. I also have a younger sister, so caring for and playing with little ones has always been a big part of my life. I'm patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids—whether it's helping with homework, getting creative with arts and crafts, or just being a friendly presence.

Since I'm graduating with a degree this spring, I also have a strong academic background—especially in English, reading, writing, and math. If your children need extra support with schoolwork, I’d love to help!

I’m really looking forward to becoming part of a family, sharing our cultures, and making lasting memories together. I hope to hear from you soon!
