Description

I love
going to the vegetable garden at six in the morning,
waiting for the flowers to open,
watching for the pollinators as they settle in for breakfast,
the unexpected scent of mint,
of the sun warming the oregano,
the promise of a ripening tomato.

I smile:
my daughters know how to take care of themselves,
my husband hugs me, happy, every morning,
my friends are full of poetry.

If I don't sleep much,
I make the most of it by studying what interests me—
nature, languages and little projects
that bring happiness to others.

More details about your skills

As a child, I loved spending time in the countryside with my grandparents. It was there that I learned to love nature and to hope it would always be part of my life.

Today I tend a small urban vegetable garden, and whenever I can, I go for walks through meadows and in the mountains.

I have good physical stamina.

I cook for my family every day, including special meals and treats.

Over the years, my family and I have created many personalized birthday celebrations, complete with settings inspired by favorite fairy tales and films, themed games, escape rooms, and practical jokes.

I enjoy taking care of other people. I have raised three daughters, cared for two elderly parents, and worked for many years in schools with students with disabilities.

I studied European languages and literatures at university. I continue to study languages and enjoy speaking the language of the places I visit whenever I can.
