Letter to the family

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Pilar, and I am 21 years old, female from Spain. This summer I graduated from University Carlos III de Madrid with a bachelor’s degree in film, TV and Media Studies. My sibling Misha is working as a producer in an animation studio, and I’ve always admired how they aren’t afraid to take a leap and extend a hand to others. My mother is a stay-at-home mom, and she has supported us and helped us grow to be mature, understanding and always curious. I think no children really knows what their father does, but mine is an engineer and works with big printing machines, often out of home. He always brought souvenirs and stories of his travels.
I’ve grown used to communicating in English and my mother often jokes that I should take a Spanish course, as I often forget words in my native language and I am always speaking English. My interest in languages goes far, I received IELTS level 8 (C1) two years ago, I speak French and Korean to an Intermediate level, and I am planning on conquering Mandarin next! I would love to introduce your children to any of these languages if it’s in their interest. Moreover, once I become interested in a country, the second thing I learn is their cuisine, so we can explore different dishes together and enjoy some time cooking. I also love baking, so be ready to gain some kilos through cookies.

Experience

My university is known for their international Erasmus+ programs, and the quantity of international students we receive every year. Because of that, many of my best friends are from other countries like Bulgaria, Venezuela, U.S.A and the UK. They often talked about how enriching it was for them to live in another country, specially one they had a previous interest in, as it helped them learn about themselves, try new things and meet amazing people they never would’ve had they stayed home. Now that I have my degree, before starting my master’s in September, I thought it was the perfect time to do it.
I took an interest in childcare once I received requests to help family friend’s children with their English and other subjects. The main issue was they were growing a dislike for the languages, as they weren’t being taught how to learn correctly and rejected it. I think English, and any language, is an amazing tool that opens the world around you, and it’s my focus as an educator to help them love learning through a healthy relationship with their learning styles and personalities. I began nannying after school as well, and it was such a wonderful experience that I decided to dedicate more of my time to it. Therefore I started my volunteering with Red Cross, and evenings at the center with the children filled my days with laughter and learning about myself through them. I loved helping them grow their confidence, improve their grades and solve conflicts in a healthy way. We like reading, playing and crafting together, and I must admit most of the times they win at sports I didn’t let them on purpose!
