Bio
Hola! I'm Ximena from Mexico. I'm playful and caring, and I love arts and outdoor activities: painting, making piñatas, gardening, football and long walks. I enjoy turning ordinary days into small adventures and finding something to celebrate.
I'm cheerful, energetic and responsible, and I like having a clear routine as well as room for surprises. I swim, cycle and drive, and I'm happy to help with housework and cooking. I enjoy cooking traditional Mexican dishes and sharing them.
I'd like to spend three to six months abroad, improve my English and live a new culture from the inside. I'd like a family that enjoys sharing everyday life, and I'm happy to teach the children some Spanish if they like.
Childcare experience
I spent a year as an au pair in a household with two toddlers, which was my first experience living with a host family. I was in charge of meals, playtime, outdoor walks and bedtime routines, and I worked closely with the parents to follow their approach.
Before that I helped at a weekend art workshop for children aged 4 to 8. I enjoy organising small creative projects and I'm good at keeping young children engaged and safe.
Health, allergies, special diets or other information
I'm healthy, active and I have no allergies. I smoke, but never around children or inside the home, and I'm happy to follow house rules. I swim, cycle and hold a driving licence.
