Hi families!! My name is Arantxa but i go by Ara and I’m 23 years old from Peru. About me I enjoy arts and crafts, go on walks, have picnics, read books, swimming, playing board games, throw the frisbee; etc, I also really like cooking different foods from my country and baking desserts (those are my favorite to cook). I consider myself an easy going person, patient, responsible, organized, hardworking, loving, kind and I can have a strong character when needed (without being aggressive) I have experience taking care of kids from the ages of 2-16, I was an au pair from 2023 to the beginning of this year and before that I used to babysit neighbors and family members since the age of 16. I am fully vaccinated and non smoker, I drive every day of the week so i’m comfortable with that. During my time as an au pair i also helped families with their pets such as taking them on walks or feeding them when needed.
