  About Me
 
I am caring, fun loving, patient, communicative, motivated, enthusiastic, honest, trustworthy, respectful, hardworking and transparent. I try to keep the happiness feeling within myself at all times, not letting anything get me down because I am very optimistic and have a very positive outlook on life. I love being around people, specially kids, that's why I gave up following my college degree ( Food Science ) because I would not be in contact with people as much as I wanted/needed. I am also very dynamic, athletic and energetic ( you will realize that as soon as you have a chance to talk to me face-to-face ).
I taught English to kids and teenagers while I lived in Brazil so I have a very good "approach" to them and know how to deal with unexpected situations. I am firm with kids when necessary but also very, very kind and warm. I don’t raise voice or use any kind of abusive discipline methods. I believe in persistent dialogue.
I am not homesick. My mother has lived in the US for 15 years and father, who was a doctor, has passed away.
