I am Paulina Mendes Pereira. I am Portuguese. I finish the MA degree in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering (UNL-Portugal). I liked the experience and could develop some abilities of dealing with people from different cultural background.
Now I'm in France (Île de France)
I am really used to working with children and mothers, helping them with housecooking. I also worked part-time in the home of one of the doctors, tidying and cleaning the house and sometimes cooking for her. I like cooking, and would be happy to learn to do French cooking for an French family.
I often used my friend car, to do the shopping etc. I took my driving test in Lisbon, and am used to city drivin but would like a few practice sessions before driving children. Then I would be very happy to take them to their sporting activities and encourage them. I used to take part in competitive gymnastics until 2000. I need to improve my French. Although I studied French for 5 years in secondary school, my ability to communicate in English is low at the moment, but I hope this will improve quickly if I take lessons and work with a family where I can practise, so I should like to be in a home where at least one of the children is of school-age, or nearly school age. (Somone helped me write this.)
If you think I would be the right person to help your family, I will do my best to fit in with your needs.
