More details about your skills
For three summers I worked in a gas station where I worked in the kitchen. Mostly I made fast food, bu there I learned much about working in a fast but accurately, there was not place for mistakes in the busy hours.
For almost a year with my studies I have worked in cleaning company, cleaning respected restaurants dining areas, a lot moving cleanings and house cleanings. I have learned to clean fast but carefully.
I have some customer service experience selling tickets in festival.
I’ve also grown up around animals like cats, chickens, and ducks, and I get along well with dogs too. I’m able help with cleaning, cooking, animal care or whatever needs doing.

What else ...
In my free time I love going for a run or doing some exercise, but I’m just as happy relaxing and spending time with people. I enjoy chatting, sharing stories, and playing games together — Monopoly and UNO are some of my favorites!
I also just love the little things like swimming or watching the sunset. So just being outdoors and with nice people, I will love it!
