  • Description

    Bonjour/Hello! I am a happy and healthy English girl who has time in the summer to help anyone needing an extra pair of hands. I have just graduated from Newcastle University in England where I studied nutrition and psychology and I also completed an extra course in advanced French. Previously, I au paired in Paris for 6 months and did a lovely work away in the South of France. I absolutely loved working in the South of France and have decided I would like to do it again this year! Experiencing the French culture and learning the language is something I enjoy doing. Meeting new people and sharing experiences with them is one of my favourite things to do and I therefore cannot wait to meet new people while helping with cooking, animals and gardening, or any small jobs that need to be done. I am an easy going, communicative and friendly person who is keen to get involved in lots of tasks and loves a challenge. During my free time I take lots of sea dips, hike with friends, cook meals for my housemates and volunteer at a food waste cafe! I look forward to hopefully meeting you soon!

  • More details about your skills

    I am an all rounded person who does not mind working hard when I need to. I am very used to helping around the house as have always done that when I lived with my family, au paired for a host family and spent time working at a guesthouse. While being at university, I have become skilled in cooking nutritious and delicious meals for myself while being adventurous and making new dishes! At the weekend, I also volunteer at a food waste cafe where I assist chefs in the kitchen. When I was young, I helped out on my grandmother's farm by looking after the animals and helping out where I can. My dad enjoys fixing things himself, so I enjoy learning tips from him and assisting him every now and then. I have also participated in scouts for 4 years so have learnt practical skills from there! Since visiting France multiple times and teaching young children English, I am able to share my knowledge in English while also being able to communicate in French!
