Dear host family, my name is Nika. I'm 37 years old. I'm from hidden European gem country called Slovenia. I speak English and I can communicate with basics of Italian. That I'm eagerly looking forward to improve. I’m positive women. Experiences of the past year made me mature and responsible. I’m professional and respectful in my approach. People find me compassionate, understanding and able to easy match in new social environment. I always devote myself totally into a work in which I recognize sense and meaning and I appreciate a healthy work-life balance. It is important that the relationship between my future employer and myself is based on respect and confidence. I’m passionate about life. Among what people amaze me. Always. I believe that humans are social beings. That according to, we need interpersonal contacts for our healthy life. I endeavour contributing to healthy social relationships. I like people, I like working with them, empowering them to live a life their meant to, being supportive on their way of personal growth to find what is hidden deep inside of them and waits to come out and enrich them and this world. Feeling happiness of someone over defeating a challenge fulfils me more than anything. I enjoy in searching solutions for better interpersonal relationships. Conflicts and problems of any nature are an exciting challenge for me. Inner frustrations as well. I believe in dialogue and I’m attentive listener. I love beauty in all the aspects and feel happiness when I can stimulate perception of it in others. I tend to lead, encourage and motivate people to reach their goals by themselves considering their special abilities, but not bringing the goal to them directly. I have diploma in Special and rehabilitation pedagogy with over 10 years of hard working experiences in our government educational system. I’ve been working with children in primary school having learning disabilities and lately with developing population from 6 to 25 years having mental disability with associated disorders such as emotional and behavioural disorder, ADHD, autism among most common one. I integrate elements of various pedagogical methods into work with children (TEACCH Autism Program, PECS, Team Teach, Formative evaluation …). I know how to conceive and animate educational and well-being activities, especially through exploring the nature, reading stories, do-it-yourself, making crafts and art and dance and laugh. On the other hand, can conduct order and structure and strong principles. At the end of this school year I decided to take a break from working in institution and decided to follow calling into another culture towards more personal working environment. I love nature in every season of the year: swimming in rivers and lakes, climbing mountains, cycling to work, ohhh I’m mad about camping, skiing on the first snow, skating on frozen lakes, walking bare feet under rain, collecting herbs and berries in forest. Lately I became passionate about cooking and baking and sensual dancing and yoga. I did 4 Camino walks. I love spending time with my family and friends. I’m adaptable, I always try my best and I’m willing to learn and grow as an individual. I’m first aid trained, non smoker, driver with clean licence. I can’t wait to meet you. If you’d let me I’m bringing my sun with me into your household so all of our hearts can shine together. Wish you the best, Nika
