Description

Hi! I'm a 22 year old girl from Italy, looking for life experiences, personal growth and knowledge.
I currently studying Education Sciences at the University of Padua, focusing on education, learning processes, child development and social inclusion, that prepare me to work in educational and social contexts with children, adolescents and vulnerable groups.
I’ve traveled a lot around Europe with my parents. Now, I’m looking for something different, an experience that allows me to truly live the local culture, connect with people, and step out of my comfort zone. I'm ready for my first experience with Workaway and I really hope to find good people, fun and growth.
I worked as an entertainer in a holiday village, organizing activities for kids and teens and helping create small shows with singing, dancing and comedy. An experience really changed me and boosted my confidence. I also worked for two summers in a local summer camp and did tutoring and babysitting during the school year. I love being with children, teaching them, supporting them, and watching them grow step by step. Seeing that I can do something good for others brings me real joy and gives meaning to what I do.
I’m friendly, responsible and full of energy. I’m not afraid to take initiative and always try to do my best. I would love to help in any way I can, whether that’s with children, teaching, creative activities, or supporting daily tasks.

More details about my language interests

I also very interested in improving my Spanish/English.

More details about your skills

I have experience working with children and teenagers through volunteering, tutoring, and summer camps. I’ve helped kids with their homework, especially those from immigrant backgrounds, and worked for two summers as an animator in a local summer center. At 18, I also spent three months working in a holiday village, organizing games, shows, and creative activities for children and teens. These experiences helped me develop communication, organization, and leadership skills.
In addition to my background in education, I’m responsible, adaptable, and creative. I’m open to taking part in activities with children and teenagers, whether it's playing, helping with homework, organizing games or simply spending time together in a supportive and fun way. In addiction, I'm also willing to help with cooking and tidy up or basic tasks that may be needed.
I speak Italian (native) and quite good English and Spanish, and I’m always eager to improve my language skills and learn something new from others.
