Beschreibung

Hi, I’m Erica! I have been traveling on and off for over 3 years now and have fallen in love with the backpacker lifestyle. I have had the pleasure of 2 Workaway experiences so far and can’t wait for more!

Currently I am traveling in South America. I speak Spanish (high intermediate level) and fluent English.

I have had many different jobs in a variety of sectors and I look forward to learning more skills that I can use in the future. I work very hard at everything I do and I feel the most pride when I accomplish things through dedication and effort. I would also describe myself as organized and clean, and would be a very respectful guest under any circumstances! That being said, I am outgoing and love to have fun, making the most out of all my experiences is one of my greatest goals!

Can't wait to get to know you!

Was könntest du arbeiten?

- Cleaning and general housework: I have always been an extremely organized person and have been hired several times by friends and family to clean and organize their homes. I have a talent for organization of all kinds, whether it be tidying a room or creating a system of managing paperwork for your business. I have always been very involved in the housework in my own home and I am very consistent about keeping my space clean, so I would be a great asset for performing household duties.

- Caring for children: I volunteered at an American preschool for three years working with 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds, teaching lessons, reading, cleaning the classroom, and more. I was a counselor for 8-year-old camp children at an outdoor summer camp. I also have babysat many times for at least ten different families throughout the past decade, along with caring for my young cousins, and I consider myself an experienced caretaker for children of all ages.

- Customer service: I provided service to customers as a cashier in a store and understand the importance of providing the best care to patrons. I also have worked with clients while working at a pension benefit firm, communicating with representatives of other companies to understand the needs of the client and the ways to create a mutually beneficial relationship as I provided them with a method of automating their benefit calculations.

- Teaching: In addition to working in both the preschool and camp settings, I also have worked at an academic camp as well administering math and reading assessments to 9-year-old students with learning disabilities to help improve their skills. I also tutored high school students for several years on a variety of subjects. One day I plan to become a teacher, and use these skills to help the future generations, but for now as I travel I would be happy to teach English or some of my other skills such as computer and web use or fitness to my hosts or fellow Workawayers!

- Website development and programming: I have worked on the visual interface of a website for a company that I worked for using Microsoft Visual Basic programming. I have used statistical programming software throughout my coursework in college and while working as a verification intern for a company specializing in surgical robotics. I also have experience working with Excel and with other proprietary computer programming software in which I use formulas to automate pension plans.

- Communication: I pride myself on my ability to strike up conversations with new people and to make friends easily. I love learning about others' lives and talking to anyone I can because I feel that there is so much to learn from hearing someone's thoughts and opinions and experiences. English is my first language, but I have some ability with conversational French as well and would love to develop this skill further. I also have an interest in learning other languages and would be very happy for my cultural exchange to include an exchange of language as well.

- Animal care: I love animals and would love to spend time taking care of them! I have had several pets including a dog, cats, crabs, fish, and frogs, and have spent a little bit of time caring for horses as well. Exotic animals are an interest of mine and I would be so excited to learn more about them.
