Description

Hi! My name is Monserrat, I’m 42 years old and I’m from Mexico.

I’m currently taking a sabbatical year after many years of working in the commercial side of the chemical industry. I decided to take this time to step out of my comfort zone, experience different cultures, meet new people, and learn as much as I can.

One of my main goals is to improve my English while living authentic cultural experiences in North America and Europe. I believe the best way to learn a language is by sharing everyday life with local people.

I consider myself a responsible, respectful, friendly, and open-minded person. I enjoy helping others, adapting to new environments, and working as part of a team. I’m always willing to learn new skills and I’m not afraid of trying something I’ve never done before. For me, every new experience is an opportunity to grow.

I enjoy spending time with children and helping take care of them. I also love animals, especially dogs and cats, and I enjoy gardening and being outdoors. I’m happy to help with daily household tasks, pet care, gardening, childcare, or any other responsibilities where I can be useful.

Although my professional background is in sales and the chemical industry, I believe my greatest strengths are my commitment, reliability, positive attitude, and willingness to learn. I’m a curious person who enjoys discovering new ways of doing things and contributing wherever I can.

I’m looking for more than just a place to stay—I’m looking for meaningful cultural exchange, genuine connections, and the opportunity to make a positive contribution while learning from my hosts.

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I’m looking forward to meeting you, sharing experiences, learning new things together, and creating wonderful memories.


Hola! Mi nombre es Monserrat, tengo 42 años y soy de México.

Actualmente estoy disfrutando de un año sabático, una etapa que decidí dedicar a crecer personalmente, conocer nuevas culturas y vivir experiencias auténticas. Después de muchos años trabajando en el área comercial de la industria química, quiero salir de mi zona de confort, aprender nuevas habilidades y mejorar mi nivel de inglés.

Me considero una persona responsable, respetuosa, organizada y con una actitud positiva. Me adapto con facilidad a diferentes ambientes y disfruto colaborar con otras personas. Siempre estoy dispuesto(a) a aprender y a contribuir donde sea necesario.

Me gusta cuidar niños y compartir tiempo con ellos a través de actividades creativas y juegos. También disfruto mucho la compañía de los animales, especialmente perros y gatos, y me encanta la jardinería y las actividades al aire libre.

Aunque mi experiencia profesional ha sido en el sector químico y comercial, creo que mis mayores fortalezas son el compromiso, la comunicación, la empatía y la disposición para ayudar. No tengo problema en colaborar con tareas del hogar, el cuidado de mascotas, la jardinería o cualquier otra actividad que pueda aprender rápidamente.

Mi objetivo con Workaway es conocer personas, comprender la cultura local desde dentro y crear conexiones genuinas mientras contribuyo de forma positiva a la vida de mis anfitriones. Me encantaría recorrer Norteamérica y Europa, mejorar mi inglés y vivir experiencias que me permitan crecer tanto personal como culturalmente.

Espero tener la oportunidad de conocerlos pronto y formar parte de su proyecto. ¡Será un placer ayudar y compartir esta experiencia con ustedes!

I am a responsible, reliable, and positive person who enjoys helping others and learning new things. Throughout my professional career, I have developed strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills, and I adapt easily to new environments and challenges.

I enjoy cooking, especially homemade Mexican food, and I am always happy to prepare meals and learn new recipes from different cultures. I also have a valid driver's license and feel comfortable driving when needed.

I like gardening and spending time outdoors, and I can help with planting, watering, weeding, and general outdoor maintenance. I also enjoy painting and have experience using basic hand tools for simple maintenance and DIY projects.

I love animals, especially dogs and cats, and I am happy to help with feeding, walking, playing, and taking care of them. I also enjoy spending time with children and supporting them through games, creative activities, and daily routines.

I believe that every experience is an opportunity to grow, and I am excited to learn new skills while contributing to your home or project.
