Dear Family,

My name is Sara, and I am 18 years old. I am currently a language student, about to complete my final year of studies. Before starting university, I would love to gain experiences abroad. English-speaking countries, especially Scotland and England, have always been my dream destinations.

Although I don't have much experience working with children, I have two wonderful nephews, aged 8 and 6, and grew up alongside them, as my youngest nephew is only 10 years younger than me. I consider myself patient, creative, and gentle, which I believe could make me a valuable addition to your family. I adapt easily to new situations, I am active, and truly enjoy immersing myself in different cultures.

I have a b2 level of English (I will take the C1 Cambridge exam in May 2025) and a basic understanding of French, Spanish, and Chinese. I enjoy traveling, adapting to new places, and embracing new challenges. I live in a small mountain village, so I am very accustomed to rural life. I also have experience living abroad: I spent some time studying in Dublin and participated in an Erasmus+ work placement in Malta for a month, where I worked as a receptionist and waiter. During my time in Malta, I discovered my ability to adapt to new cultures at the age of 17, while also learning valuable skills in teamwork, problem-solving, and independent work.

In addition, I have a passion for cooking both sweet and savory Italian dishes, and I gained experience working as a sous chef for three months last summer.
