Dear Family,

My name is Catalina, friends call me “Cat” and I am from Romania.

In high school I studied philology and foreign languages I also had drama and creative writing classes, reading books is one of my hobbies since childhood and besides English at an advanced level I also speak Spanish very well and French at medium level. I am also getting my bachelors degree in Law next year.
Even if I don t have any brothers and sisters I always had a numerous family and I grew up surrounded by my cousins, nephews and nieces and also I kind of raised them all, or at least I helped my grandma doing it because I am the eldest one of them all kids.
I love children very much and I love spending time and playing with them. I definitely wish I was a child again, and since that is not possible anymore because now I am an adult with responsibilities and problems of my own, I think that working with pure and innocent kids is the last chance I have to gain back a tiny part of my own innocence and childhood. I believe that children must be taken very seriously because they are able to see and feel things around them that us, the adults don t take into consideration anymore, or if we do, we are too busy to care about those things.
I played two years handball and eight years professional basketball being a team leader so I am a very active person who also loves jogging, swimming, dancing and who really enjoys long walks in the park. I am a pet lover because pets taught me that if you choose them right they can improve your life, especially in kids cases pets can help them develop in a better way their personality and teach them many things about sharing, caring, protection, devotion and love.
I am also very tidy and neat and I like seeing things arranged and in order, I am very adaptable to different situations and flexible when it comes to extra babysitting, I tend to put your necessities and needs before mine because I thing that this means I m doing my job well.  
One of the main reasons for which I decided to come to the UK was that I love to travel and I think that it takes more than one week or two of vacation to get to know a country with its customs and believes, the people and language. Improving my level of English has been another goal of mine and by getting my IELTS certificate with a native speaker band score I have managed to prove myself that I have achieved this target of mine.
I am looking forward to continue learning all I can about your country, love, respect and take care of your children and your house as if they were my own and hope to become a part of your family really soon!
