MARIELLE, 18 YEARS

Dear Future Host Family, I hope you're all doing well! Before I introduce myself, let me just say: if being excited were a sport, I’d definitely be winning gold by now—probably while tripping over my shoelaces! ^-^ Anyway hi future mom and dad!! I'm Marielle, 18 years old, living in the Philippines. I recently finished Senior High School last July as an ABM student in tourism management. I love cooking, baking, meeting new people, learning new languages, watching movies, swimming, and trying new things like hiking, reading books, and stargazing. People often describe me as funny, goofy, positive, energetic, cheerful, creative, and easy to be around—and honestly, I have to agree^-^ I’ve also had plenty of experience taking care of kids. My younger sister, who's now 14, has been my partner-in-crime for years. We’ve done everything from playing games, helping her with homework, and making her cookies, to even walking to school together. I’ve also looked after my neighbor’s kids (ages 4, 7, 9, and 11), my 6-year-old niece, 12-year-old nephew, and my friend’s sisters, who are 5 and 9. We love roleplaying, drawing, and even making mini vlogs for fun! On top of that, I can handle light house chores and care for pets—I've got 5 cats and 5 dogs, so I've got the pet situation down! Rest assured, I’m reliable and ready to help with everything.^-^ I hope this message catches your attention because I’m really excited and determined to experience Dutch/Danish culture! Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
