Dear Host Family, my name is Camila, I’m from Brazil, and I’ll soon be moving to Rome to start my laurea triennale in Global Humanities at La Sapienza. Alongside my studies, I’m looking to join a kind and open-minded host family to share everyday life, cultural exchange, and support their daily life as an au pair.

I have previous experience working as an English teacher for children aged 2 to 8, and I truly enjoy encouraging kids to express themselves, be curious, and have fun while learning. I speak English and Portuguese fluently, and I’m currently learning Italian, my goal is to become fluent as quickly as possible to fully enjoy life in Italy. I also understand and speak a bit of Spanish.

In 2023, I spent three months living in Cape Town, South Africa, where I volunteered at Cape Town TV and lived with an international group of young people. That experience strengthened my passion for multicultural environments and language learning.

I'm creative and patient, I love reading, arts and crafts, and helping children engage with new languages and cultures in an age-appropriate and enjoyable way. I’m also the eldest sibling in my family, so caring for little ones has always been a natural part of my life.

As a university student, my class schedule will be light during the first semester, probably just 2 or 3 subjects, and most classes will happen in the mornings or early afternoons when children are typically at school. This means I’ll have time and energy to support your family’s routine in a balanced and reliable way! Although I’m not a European citizen, my student visa allows me to work up to 20 hours per week, which fits well with the responsibilities of an au pair.

More than anything, I’m looking for a warm and respectful environment where we can learn from one another. If you think we could be a good match, I’d be very happy to get in touch and learn more about your family! Warm wishes, Camila
