Description
Hi there! Nice to meet you!🫶
I am Paola, a 24 year old Italian girl. I am a psychology graduate, currently finishing my engineering degree. I was born in Puglia in the south of Italy, I grew up in the countryside, and I have lived in Milan for my studies.
Growing up in a rural environment made me very comfortable with nature. I have some basic experience with gardening (mainly thanks to my grandfather). I am not highly experienced, but I learn quickly and I am not afraid of getting my hands dirty. I spent a year abroad in Canada. I lived with an amazing host family, and reached a C1 level in English. I love languages and I am learning Spanish and French.
Sport is my passion. I have danced for eight years, I enjoy group sports (volleyball, padel..) and I love hiking. I am also learning how to surf and I it gives me a beautiful sense of freedom.
I have experience in volunteering since I was young. I supported children from difficult family backgrounds in my city and I spent a month in Thailand teaching English in local schools. I have babysat for many years and taught teenagers math, English and chemistry. In recent years I have also worked in a children’s clinic.
I enjoy cooking (and I love baking). I have worked at events in Milan preparing drinks and food and also worked as a hostess (like welcoming guests) in many occasions.
I believe helping and learning through human connections is one of the most beautiful parts of life. That’s the main reason I decided to start this journey.
I am looking forward to meeting you all, hoping that I will bring care, positivity and energy into your home!✨
See you soon,
Paola🤍 -

More details about your skills
My main skills are people-oriented.
Thanks to my psychology background, I have strong empathy, communication and listening skills.
I have solid experience with children and teenagers through:
• volunteering (Italy and abroad)
• babysitting
• tutoring (English, math and science)
I enjoy creating both educational and fun activities and building a positive environment.
I can also help with languages:
• Italian (native)
• English (C1 level)
I love cooking and I am confident in the kitchen. I mainly cook Italian food, but I enjoy experimenting with different cuisines.
I am active, energetic and physically fit. I enjoy sports, hiking and outdoor activities. So even though I have never done any serious manual labor, I was raised in the countryside. So I won’t be afraid to get my hands dirty.
Having lived abroad, I am open-minded and comfortable in multicultural environments.
I am adaptable, fast learner and willing to help with any task needed. -
