On the other hand, an anecdote that I remember a lot is when I took Valeska to my house because she wanted to go with me, that's why her parents authorized her and she didn't cry because I kept her distracted doing many activities like painting, dancing and watching movies. It was a nice experience because I felt very loved by her parents because they trusted me a lot and how responsible I can be.
I like taking care of children because it makes me feel a very responsible, mature person and my inner child comes out.

Please describe your hobbies
One of the hobbies that I love the most is eating and talking because I feel that this way you can get to know people better and better understand the different ways of seeing life. The other hobby that I love is dancing and exercising because that is what the more it relaxes and distracts me.
There are extra hobbies that I also like, such as decorating for a party, and attending to guests, it makes me feel very useful in a time of great rush such as organizing a meeting.
