I want to start by saying that I am very grateful for the opportunity you are giving me. It makes me really happy and excited to think that I could become part of your family and share such an important stage of my life with you. For a long time, I have wanted to visit the Netherlands and have an experience outside of Panama. For me, it would be something completely new because I would be far away from my family, my home, and everything I know. I know that it may be a little difficult to adapt at first, but that is also something that really excites me because I want to get out of my comfort zone, learn to be more independent, and experience a different way of life. I would like my experience with you to be more than just coming to take care of the children. I would like to feel that I am really sharing life with a family and becoming part of your everyday life. I want to learn about your traditions, your way of living, your food, and your culture. But I would also love to share a little bit of Panama with you, my culture, our food, and what my life is like here. I really like children and I have experience with them, mainly through my own family and my sister’s children. I come from a big family, so I have always been surrounded by children. Through these experiences, I have learned that you need to be patient, responsible, listen to them, and understand that every child has a different personality. I enjoy playing with them, helping them, teaching them new things, and being there for their activities. I have also worked for many years in my family’s restaurant, and this has taught me to be responsible, hardworking, and willing to help whenever I am needed. I am used to having responsibilities and organizing my time. I believe this will help me a lot when adapting to a new family and learning your routines. Another thing I really want to take advantage of during this experience is improving my English. I want to lose some of my fear of speaking and become more confident when communicating. I know I will make mistakes, but that doesn’t worry me because I am willing to learn and practice every day. I would also like to learn some Dutch words so I can feel more comfortable and connected to the country. And of course, I am very excited about discovering the Netherlands. I would love to use my free time to visit different cities, travel around the country, try new food, meet new people, and visit places that I have only seen in pictures until now. I also want to continue exercising and keep doing some of the things that I enjoy in my everyday life. I know that living far away from my family will be a big change for me, but I feel that I am at a point in my life where I need to experience something different. I want to learn, get to know myself better, become more independent, and create many beautiful memories from this experience.
