Description

I am a passionate, outgoing, and open-minded person who believes in helping others and making a meaningful difference in their lives. I grew up on my family’s farm in Egypt, graduated from Cairo University, and taught in Alexandria before immigrating to the United States. My experiences across different cultures, along with traveling throughout Europe, Asia, the United States, and Canada, have broadened my perspective and deepened my appreciation for diversity.

I have taught English as a Second Language (ESL) and Arabic to children and adults in Egypt and the United States. I hold a master’s degree from a university in Indiana in Teaching English as a Second Language and teaching Arabic to non-native speakers. My teaching experiences have strengthened my leadership, communication, and collaboration skills. I aspire to earn a Ph.D. and become a university professor, inspiring others through education and lifelong learning.

My journey from Egypt to the United States has taught me resilience, patience, adaptability, and the importance of approaching others without judgment or assumptions. I believe kindness, acceptance, and respect can bridge cultural differences and promote peace. I value preserving my Egyptian identity while embracing new cultural experiences, recognizing that sharing our traditions and perspectives enriches individuals and communities alike.

Service to others is an essential part of who I am. I have volunteered in multiple countries, helping with gardening, farming, animal care, house-sitting, babysitting, cleaning, cooking, elderly care, and language teaching. These experiences have deepened my compassion and strengthened my commitment to making a positive difference in people’s lives. My greatest joy comes from helping others feel valued and making them smile.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, photography, music, hiking, biking, and meeting new people. I especially love animals, particularly dogs. As a lifelong learner, I strive to treat everyone with dignity and compassion, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or background.

Travis has worked much while staying at my place : washing the dishes, cleaning the house, weeding the vegetable garden, picking up fruits... Though I stopped the experience earlier than it was predicted as we weren't sharing at all the same opinion on my lifestyle, the relationship I have with animals and the place of mine in the house. I enjoy … read more

Travis came, put down his bag, started to help and practically did not stop till he left. That's his attitude anyway. He can see what is needed and goes to great lengths to do it. Interesting conversations about our different cultural backgrounds and life. Very nice to have him in the house, we all miss him, especially our dog Teddy, who enjoyed … read more

I really enjoyed my time with Eva. She is well-educated, and a good communicator, so we had many intellectual conversations. Eva has a very good sense of humor, and she is open-minded and easy going. She likes to make her guests feel comfortable, satisfied, and happy. She asked me about the type of food I like and made sure it was available to me. … read more

Travis worked hard clearing our yard from heavy wood poles and picking fruit, he liked the dogs and was very fond of the baby. We did get along even if he didn't agree with my baby safety opinion.

(Very good)

Thank you, Sebastian, Anna, and Eliana for having me. Your daughter, Eliana, is a cute little girl and I enjoyed babysitting, feeding, and playing with her. Sebastian is a very easy-going and open-minded person. I liked working with him picking apples and stacking wood. Anna works hard taking care of the baby, the house, and she enjoys working in … read more
