My name is Annamaria and I live in northern Italy. At the beginning of the year I retired after having worked as an educational assistant for disabled people. My current situation allows me to consider an idea that I have been nurturing for some time: learning, or rather relearning, a foreign language. In 1988 I spent 6 months in Germany as an au pair and I would like to relive the experience and thus start speaking German fluently again. Given my work experience, I offer my services as an assistant and companion for the elderly, with the condition that the people I should help know how to speak and express themselves well in the language in order to interact and learn. I am a very empathetic person, I am also able to help with washing and dressing, I have no problem pushing people in wheelchairs or with other walking aids, I love walking and being outdoors. Currently I can only make three months available (March, April, May) because I then have other commitments to manage in Italy. However, this does not mean that the experience (if positive on both sides) cannot be repeated later.
