Description

Hi everyone!

I'm Aga, and this handsome little guy in the pictures with me is my baby, Peanut.

I was born and raised in Poland and recently moved back to Europe from the US, where I had lived and worked for the past 12 years. I'm planning to move to Spain and would love to find some volunteering opportunities to meet new, inspiring people, make connections, help and contribute my skills wherever I can, and make the transition to a new country a bit easier.

I'm an artist through and through. Acting is my absolute biggest passion and, honestly, I believe the reason I was put on this Earth. I feel the most alive when I perform, and nothing fulfills me more than being on stage or in front of the camera. I also love dancing, singing, and music in general. Latin culture, in particular, is very close to my heart.

I'm a very open, honest, positive, and transparent person. I absolutely love meeting new people, and being part of a community is where I thrive the most. I'm super fun and love having a good time with my friends, family, and people in general. As a queer person myself, I especially value spaces where everyone can be authentically and unapologetically themselves. I love getting to know people on a deeper level, having long, meaningful conversations, and sharing life lessons and experiences. I feel like we can learn from every person we cross paths with, and I believe those encounters do not happen by coincidence.

To say I love animals would be a major understatement. I truly adore them all and love spending time with them. I adopted my pup six years ago in the States. From the moment our eyes met, I knew he was mine, and we have shared this incredible, special bond ever since. He's more than just a dog—he's my soulmate and my entire world. P is truly magical.

Because he's a rescue and had been through a lot in his short life, he usually needs a moment to warm up to people. Once he gets to know you, though, he truly is the sweetest. He's very calm and well-behaved, especially while at work. He's also a certified service animal, and we go everywhere together. He's a Rhodesian Ridgeback mix. He definitely has the looks and behavior of those gorgeous African dogs, but because he must have been mixed with a Beagle and maybe something else, he's a small pup who fits in a baby sling that I carry him in when we go to public places.

He loves kids and, at this point, could probably have his own nanny résumé because he's done so many nanny jobs with me. It truly is something special to watch kids develop their own bond with him. It enriches every work experience. He also gets along with other dogs, cats, and all kinds of animals.

I'm an empath, and I'm very sensitive to the world around us. I'm deeply connected to nature, and I'm definitely a sun-and-ocean kind of girl. I love being out in nature—hiking, swimming, and just being active in general. I love yoga and all kinds of healing modalities. Bonfires on the beach with a group of friends and a guitar are some of my favorite things. Too bad I can't play myself.

I live a very sustainable life and deeply care about all living beings and our Mother Earth. I do believe, though, that sustainability is a never-ending, lifelong journey. I love learning more about it and constantly try to find new ways to support our planet. I enjoy sharing what I've learned along the way with others and connecting with fellow planet lovers while learning from their experiences as well.

I am vegan and have been exclusively eating plant-based for the past nine years. I love cooking and sharing meals with others. I'm on a constant journey of discovering new recipes and incorporating them into my daily life. Peanut is vegan too :)

I'm reliable and trustworthy, and I always show up for the people I love and care about when they need me. I value honesty and vulnerability and believe that open communication is key to building and maintaining any relationship, whether professional or personal. I believe that coming together, leaning on each other, and building community is one of the most important things we all need now more than ever.

I'm a very adventurous person. I love traveling, exploring new places, and immersing myself in new cultures and languages. Going skydiving a few years back was definitely one of the most memorable and best experiences of my entire life, and I can't wait to do it again. I LOVE road trips. There's nothing like driving on an open road—it's the most liberating feeling. I've missed it so much ever since I had to sell my car before leaving the States. And P is the absolute best travel buddy. We can't wait for more adventures and all that life has to offer—this time in Europe.

People tell me I'm courageous and brave to have moved across continents all by myself and built a life from scratch in a different country (and I'm about to do it again...). I don't quite see it this way. To me, it's just following my heart. That's how I'm wired, and I can't really do it any other way, no matter how hard it gets. I guess it depends on how you look at it. But if courage means feeling the fear and doing what you feel is the next right thing anyway, then I guess I am courageous after all :)

Spain has been calling my name for quite some time now. To be completely honest, I was planning to move there before I moved to the States. I've always been especially attracted to the south of Spain. Málaga, in particular, has always been on my heart for some reason. I hear it's not only beautiful but also has an artsy vibe, which sounds like a perfect spot for me and P.

I started learning Spanish during my studies years ago and instantly fell in love. I continued on my own and significantly improved while I lived in Boston, where I was able to practice with my Latinx friends. I'd say I speak at a conversational level. The thing is, I understand most of it but definitely need to practice speaking more. I can't wait to fully immerse myself in the language and become fluent. That's definitely one of the reasons I want to move to Spain.

I also look forward to exploring the culture, vegan takes on Spanish cuisine, and the epic scenery. I can't wait to see what that part of the world has in store for me and my pup. We're ready to start this new chapter, and we're more than excited to meet and share space with some incredible people along the way.

More details about my language interests
Having lived and worked in the US for the past 12 years I have near-native English proficiency. I'm also a certified ESL tutor. I could def teach English to all age groups. Aside from being able to teach kids basics, I'm mostly interested in conversation-based teaching where, through conversations, I can help people expand their vocabulary, improve their fluency and speak real-life English with confidence, ease, and without getting stuck in their heads. Though I think and speak mostly in English, since Polish is my mother language, I could teach Polish as well. I speak conversation-based Spanish and absolutely love this language. I cannot wait to learn to speak fluently, which is one of the reasons I want to move to Spain.

More details about your skills

I'm a career nanny with over a decade of professional childcare experience, including live-in positions. I have extensive, hands-on experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. I have a great deal of knowledge and expertise in infant and toddler care, as well as guiding little ones—and their parents—through their most formative and crucial stages.

Throughout my career, I've worked with a multitude of families and supported a variety of households. Regardless of the type of family or the children's ages, the most important thing for me is creating a safe, loving environment that fosters growth and allows children to truly thrive. Every parent is different, and every family has unique needs. My job is to meet them in the best way I can and, through open and honest communication, make sure we are always on the same page. After all, I'm there to support people on their parenting journey.

I'm also a certified ESL tutor and have several years of experience tutoring preschool- and elementary-school-aged children, including kids with learning disabilities and other learning challenges. I've worked with children individually as well as facilitated group classes. Before moving to the States, I worked as an English tutor at a local kindergarten where, mostly through play and engaging games, I taught English to a group of 10–15 kindergartners.

Alongside working primarily as a career nanny in the United States, I also gained extensive experience as a personal assistant and manager. I've supported families as well as individuals building their own businesses. From running errands and stocking fridges, to making phone calls, scheduling repairs, juggling multiple schedules, and even managing entire apartment buildings—I've done it all.

I have strong organizational skills—not only when it comes to managing people's needs and schedules, but also in the home. I'm actually a professional home organizer and am considering starting my own business in the future. I love helping people declutter and refresh their homes. I say “refresh” because, to me, organizing has always felt like a form of energy work. It involves helping people go through their belongings, let go of what no longer serves them, and beautifully and thoughtfully organize what they choose to keep so they know exactly what they have and where everything belongs. This process invites new energy into a space and greatly improves quality of life. I'm proud to say that every client I've worked with has felt a huge difference afterward, which always reminds me how meaningful this work truly is. In fact, almost every family I've worked with has benefited from my love for organizing—even before I realized it could be a profession.

Although my focus in acting has primarily been on the creative side and developing my skills as a performer, I also have some producing experience. I've been part of several film sets not only as an actor but also as a crew member. There's truly nothing like the energy on a film set—it's hard to describe in words. I know that one day I'd also love to step into a directing role, but I believe everything happens at the right time.

I love working with people, collaborating on projects, and being part of a team. I also have experience working as a Brand Ambassador at various events, from trade shows to large conventions.

I love driving and am a very safe driver. I feel completely comfortable driving children and have done so for most of my nanny career. I also used to do food deliveries for different companies while living in the United States.

To be completely honest, I'm still working on developing my green thumb (I'm constantly learning!), but because I love spending time in nature, I also enjoy caring for plants and helping them thrive.

I’m always happy to learn new skills and help wherever I’m needed. I truly enjoy contributing to a household and being part of a positive, respectful environment.

To sum it up, my professional skills include:

• Creative skills (acting, dancing, singing)
• Childcare and child development
• Strong organizational skills
• Time management
• Ability to follow instructions
• Fast learner
• Ability to work in fast-paced environments
• Multitasking
• Strong memorization skills
• Adapting care approaches to meet individual family needs
• Group management as well as individual instruction
• Behavioral techniques
• Creative problem solving

When it comes to my personal qualities, I'm supportive, reliable, people-oriented, collaborative, an effective team leader, and a strong communicator.

I’m easygoing, clean, respectful of shared spaces, and very used to living and working closely with families.
