Description
Hi, dear hosts, I'm Ada from China.
I'm a single mom with an easy-going personality. I love nature, children, animals, and outdoor activities.
Over the years, raising my son on my own has helped me become confident and capable in many areas of daily life — including cooking, housekeeping, decorating, child care, and tutoring. Managing a home has taught me to be organized, patient, creative, and adaptable.
Since 2025, I have been traveling and gaining hands-on experience through a variety of jobs and volunteer opportunities. Along the way, I have worked on farms and in gardens, helped care for children as a babysitter, and worked as a server at the JW Marriott Maldives. These experiences have strengthened my practical skills, improved my English, and helped me become comfortable working with people from many different cultures.
Now that my son has started boarding middle school, I finally have time to focus on my own growth and future goals. I plan to apply for a Master of Secondary Education in New Zealand next year. Before that, I would love to immerse myself in different cultures, connect with kind people, and contribute meaningfully to everyday family and community life.
