Description
English:
I'm a freshman at an Ivy League college looking for something to do over the summer. I am fluent in English and looking to improve my Spanish!

I would consider myself a very artsy person. I have done art since being a kid, and I took art classes in high school and college. I can teach anyone some art! Check my "what else" section to see my profile. I am pursuing data science and Spanish at college. I am also into taking fashion and taking photos.

I'm also very motivated and academically inclined. I have taught science and math at STEM camps for four years, and I have volunteered at many organizations as a tutor. I would be very willing to share my language and culture!

I also am athletic. I was captain of my high school's varsity tennis team in high school, and at college, I like to rock climb, though I am a beginner, haha. I also like kpop and I like to dance, though I also like rock en español a lot ◡̈ .

Spanish:
Soy estudiante de primer año en una universidad de la Ivy League y busco algo que hacer durante el verano. Hablo inglés con fluidez y quiero mejorar mi español.

Me considero una persona muy artística. He practicado arte desde pequeña y tomé clases de arte en la preparatoria y la universidad. ¡Puedo enseñarle arte a cualquiera! Consulta mi sección "Qué más" para ver mi perfil. Estoy estudiando ciencias de datos y español en la universidad. También me gusta fotografiar moda y tomar fotos.

También estoy muy motivada y tengo muchos intereses académicos. He enseñado ciencias y matemáticas en campamentos STEM durante cuatro años y he sido voluntaria en muchas organizaciones como tutora. ¡Estaría encantada de compartir mi idioma y mi cultura!

También soy deportista. Fui capitana del equipo de tenis de mi escuela secundaria, y en la universidad me gusta escalar, aunque soy todavía estoy aprendiendo, jaja. También me gusta el kpop y bailar, aunque también me gusta mucho el rock en español.

I cannot even begin to say good things about this family. Like the other reviews say, I felt part of the family since I entered the house. Everyone was so sweet, and I miss them a lot! Even months later we are still in contact. Gonzalo is a sweet, energetic young boy, Álvaro is a clever, curious boy, and Violeta is very mature, artistic, and… read more nearly fluent in English. The 'work' was minimal, and they always kept things entertaining (especially Gonzalo and Álvaro, haha)! I just taught Álvaro coding 1 hour per morning, Gonzalo English for 1 hour (though sometimes he got distracted), then played with them for ~2.5 hours. We had a lot of fun doing things such as learning how to use chopsticks, playing Among Us in real life, and making sushi.

I had a lot of free time and even made friend with other au pairs in the area Irene introduced me to and locals from Castellón, but I still loved hanging out with the family even when I was 'off.' I taught the boys how to mine netherite, and Violeta and I enjoyed kpop together. I also would watch a Minecraft Youtuber with the boys every night before bed. At the same time, they respected my space, and I was free to just hang out alone in my room if I wanted to or go to the beach and grab a coffee, which is very nearby. The water is very warm!

Irene and Guillermo are very welcoming and accommodating, and they even put up with all my public transportation issues, haha. Even though we are from different cultures, I never felt judged; if anything, they were even more interested in my perspective and what I had to say each night at the dinner table. Irene would cook most nights, and I was in charge of making my lunch, but that was no problem as I had freedom in the kitchen. Irene even texted before asking if I wanted any specific ingredients.

Guillermo would give me rides when I needed to the train station as well as detailed public transportation instructions, and I visited Valencia and even got to see Madrid when they gave me time over a long weekend. I also got in a tough spot a few weeks later after leaving them, and they rescued me from my situation. I could not have been more grateful.

To Irene and Guillermo seeing this, thank you so much. I will remember my time with you guys and your lovely children forever. Thank you for being the highlight of my time in Spain, and I will try to visit when I come to the country in the future!
The weeks I spent with them I will truly cherish forever, and I

(Excellent)
