MARCELA, 24 YEARS

Dear future host family,
My name is Marcela, I'm 21 and I was born in Rio de Janeiro (the city), but I'm currenly living in Araruama (a town in Rio de Janeiro - around 2 hours away from the city). My friends and family describe me as someone positive and very energetic. I'm an older sister to Marco (18) and a younger sister to Igor (38) and Cristina (41). I'm an aunt to Olivia (1), Elvis (15) and Gabriela (16). We also got two dogs - that live with me, my parents and my younger brother - Bella (1) and Shakira (7). All my experience with children comes from my family. I grew up taking care of my younger brother, my cousins (some are around 8 years younger than me) and my older siblings' children. I'd like to become an Au pair because I'm ready and looking forward to get out of my comfort zone and experience a new culture, learn a new language, make new friends and travel. I'd love to have an opportunity to be part of your life journey spreading joy and sharing good life moments with your family. I qualify for the position because I love helping and taking care of others and I see myself as a very responsible person, what's essential for taking care of children. My hobbies include spending time with my family and friends, playing with my dogs, dancing, running, studying and cooking.
