Hi! I’m an Italian girl, I'm 19 years old. I graduated in Italy from the high school of humanities-economic social sciences. In this school I studied different subjects such as for example psychology, sociology, anthropology, philosophy and many others. I speak Italian, English and Spanish. I love traveling the world and learning about different cultures. I lived in Manhattan from October 2022 to April 2023. I was 18 years old when I moved there, lived alone and didn't know the language well, but I’m a very brave girl, and besides, this was my dream. Then I lived two months in Spain, in Barcelona, from May to July 2023. I studied Spanish eight years in school but I wanted to improve it. I’m here because I really like children, which is also why I studied humanities in high school. I have two brothers and a sister younger than me. I always Read more took care of them while my parents were at work. During my high school years I worked as a babysitter, with children from 0 to 14 years old. Helping them with their homework, playing with them, drawing, telling them stories and cooking. I really like to cook, maybe because I'm Italian, I've always cooked since I was little! I’m a creative, positive, patient and very energetic person. Unfortunately I don’t have a driver's license, but I know the city very well and how to use public transportation. In Italy I have four cats and three dogs. I also really like animals, if they are in the house too, they are not a problem because I love them! Now I’m in Italy and I would like to start college, I should start it in January or maybe September 2024. In the meantime I would like to start working as a babysitter, even in October. I don't have a visa to work there but when I get hired I can apply for it in my country. I really miss life in Manhattan and can't wait to start this job!
