Description

Hey!
I'm Elena, I'm 25 years old, and I come from Italy. I just graduated in Statistical Science in University of Padova, and I've decided to take some time to explore new experiences, grow personally, and immerse myself in different cultures. One of my main goals during this time is to open myself up to new challenges and, most importantly, to improve my English skills, which I believe will help me both personally and professionally in the future.

I consider myself to be a creative, friendly, and patient person. I attended an art-focused high school. I've also developed a strong sense of patience and empathy through my relationship with my younger sister, who has Down syndrome. Caring for her has taught me the importance of kindness, understanding, and flexibility, and it has shaped me into someone who is very attentive to the needs of others.
I'm also an animal lover—I have a dog that I adore—and in my free time, I enjoy activities like walking, painting, making handmade crafts, cooking, and baking cakes. Although I can be a little shy at first, I'm generally a cheerful and positive person.

More details about my language interests
In terms of my English, I think my level is intermediate. I can understand almost everything when people speak, as long as they don't talk too fast, but I haven't had many opportunities to speak English myself. That's one of the reasons why I'm eager to take on this experience—I want to build my confidence in speaking English and expand my vocabulary. I can also teach you a bit of Italian.

More details about your skills

I'm experienced in household tasks, such as cleaning, doing laundry, and ironing. I've also had experience taking care of children, especially thanks to my time spent looking after my younger sister. I'm very comfortable with all kinds of childcare duties.
I enjoy preparing traditional Italian dishes, and I take pride in my ability to share a little bit of my culture through food.
I also have practical experience in painting walls.
Additionally, I’ve worked as a waitress in bars and pizzerias for six years, which has helped me develop the ability to work under pressure and excellent customer service.
