Ana R.

I ALREADY HAVE A FAMILY. Hi dear future family! My name is Ana or Anita, I´m 26 years old and I live in a small village in Jaén which is in Andalusia (Spain). I hope you get to know me a little better after this text, and if I forget something or you want to know another thing, ask me :D MY PERSONALITY I can be sometimes a bit shy at the beginning when I meet new people, but when I get familiarity enough I could be smiling almost all day. I believe I´m a very empathic person and I usually try to make to feel comfortable to people who is around me. I think I have a lot of patience with kids, animals and almost all adults. I´ve said “almost” because I don´t have it with those who are unfair with others, I don´t tolerate injustices and I believe that it has to had equity between all people. And if it wasn´t clear, yes! I love children and animals a lot 😊 MY EDUCATION At this moment, I´m finishing my final degree proyect of psychology, which it will be over in October, so I´ll be free since the end of this month or the beginning of November. I worked as a waitress some years ago during a summer, I was an au pair another summer, and I´ve been a children´s entertainer a few times per month during a year or so. WHAT I DO IN MY FREE TIME Since I was a kid I love drawing, although I´ve been a few years without doing it, but I´ve started again this summer and I didn´t remember the peace it gives me. Also, I love spend time into nature and some years ago during my university period, I discovered how enjoy doing sports, especially those which it´s done into nature: hiking, kayaking, canyoning and mostly, climbing. I really love climbing and the feelings I get with it. And, I go to the gym too for keeping me strong and healthy. Although, sometimes I really enjoy spend time with my myself in my bedroom watching films or series, painting (like I´ve said before), doing yoga, or dancing. And of course, meeting with friends and spend time with them. MY EXPERIENCE WITH KIDS Like I said before, I spent a summer being an au pair in London, concretely, in July and August of 2017. I was taking care of a lovely 2.5 years old girl in a single-parent family, since 8am until 5pm during five days per week. We spent together big part of the day, playing, watching cartoons, going to the park and playgrounds. I loved being with her, and having nice talks with her mother too. I would have wanted to stay there much longer, but I couldn´t. MY LANGUAGE SKILLS My native language is Spanish and also, I speak a bit of English. So, I want to improve much more this last one, being more fluent in it. The last time I was an au pair I made the mistake of spending a lot of time with Spanish people, so I practiced less English than I expected. Because of that, I want to do it better to improve my language skills more faster this time. MY MOTIVATION I want to be an au pair again because last time I loved it and I was wanting more. I thought it was the best summer of my life, and I´m still thinking it. Spending all that time with Harriet it didn´t feel like a job, rather it felt like being with someone I cared, and I didn´t expected love her in such little time. I felt part of the family and I want that feeling again. Also, I like to being around people from other countries, because I learn different ways of living live, and I love seing other perspectives. Being in other places make me get out of my comfort zone, knowing me much more and growing up like a human. Besides, I need a break in my life and do things that make me happy for healing me from a bad year I´ve been through since Covid started, feel myself again and know what I want to do next after that. And of course, improving my English, meet new friends and have nice experiences. MY EXPECTATION I think I already said it indirectly, but I want to feel myself part of the family and comfortable with all lof you. Also, I would like to build a lovely bond with the child/children. Regarding the country I would like to go, I want one where all people or a lot them speak English. I would prefer a city, but I don´t mind if it´s not and it´s very close of one and have good transport conections, because I would like to attend to an English course and go to the gym. OTHER IMPORTANT INFO -I´m fully vaccinated of covid. -I´m gluten intolerated, and it doesn´t mean that I´m allergic but I can´t take products with gluten in their ingredients. -I´m almost vegan, but I sometimes eat eggs, and seldom I do exceptions with that if there aren´t other options when I go to eat outside, but never with meat. So, daily I eat almost vegan, like I´ve said, and this is very important to me for many reasons, but I don´t have any problem with cook any dish with any ingredient to the children. If you don´t know much about vegan diet and you are a little worry about, I can answer any question you have 😊
