If you have any other Child Care Experience we should know of, please describe them
I started to like childcare when I lived with an aunt and her daughter, Ariana was 8 years old. I stayed with her in the afternoons, helped her with her homework, and played with her, I felt like she was a little sister.

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.

If you have any other areas of knowledge or skills, please describe them below:
I like crafts because it lets the imagination fly and makes me feel good, I am a person who likes to learn a lot and teach that is why I have taken dance, cooking, and embroidery classes.
I took marinera classes at school, which is a Peruvian dance and I used to participate in the dance cast. I also had cooking classes at school that taught me how to prepare desserts like the girl's kiss, they also taught me to knit and embroider.

I studied English at school and then I studied for 2 years at the university where I obtained my certificate of basic and intermediate level.

Please describe your hobbies
I love to dance and talk about any topics, but I am a person who quickly adapts to various activities, and hobbies, I don´t complicate myself with any activity, if I have never practiced, I learn it, and for that I love the new things.

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.
