Roxana looks after her niece every time she goes home to Drobeta Turnu Severin. The girl is 1 year old. She looked after her since she was born (that's when Roxana realised she likes children a lot). She knows how to change nappies, take a bath or feed a baby. She worked as a volunteer in different schools during the University - she taught children Maths, Romanian and Sports. She also helped her step Mum looking after her sister. Because there is a 7 year difference between Roxana and her sister, she had to look after her when her Mum was busy. She has no preferences regarding children's age, but she prefers babies.
