Description

I have always wanted to make a difference in people's life. I guess that is why I am a Psychologist. Along the way, I've come to realize that I also want to make a difference in my own life. I've noticed that I'm at my happiest in new places and connecting with people. Through traveling, I can find this sense of fulfillment. Maybe you can show me some good spots?

More details about your skills

I. Household Chores & Cooking

I am an excellent cook. At least that is what friends, housemates and family say. I am very passionate about cooking; I cook every day and for everyone I love. I have more cooking books than Psychology books. And I love exchanging recipes. Do you want to cook with me? Besides of that, I am efficient in any other household chore, such as cleaning or doing the laundry. Keeping our home clean is very important to me.

II. Animal Care

I love animals and when I say that, I really mean every animal. Not only the traditional pets. That's why I stopped eating animals a long time ago, integrating more plant - based food in my diet. I've been taking care of animals since I am little. My grandma has a farm and when I visit her, I help her feeding the chickens. Moreover, I took care of my dog and my two cats for nearly two decades. I am sure I can help to take care of your animals, too.

III. Farming, Maintenance & Construction Work

All members of my family are hard working. I grew up in the rural area, with my dad being a carpenter and my grandparents having a small farm. In my last Workaway project, I worked on various outdoor construction tasks aimed at developing a permaculture center. Thus, I am not shy when it comes to help you with your practical work around the house or organisation.

IV. Education, Social & Psychiatric Care

I worked as a teaching assistant both at a primary school and at University. I taught English, arts and Statistics. I also lived in the UK for a year where I worked as a social carer in a disability centre. Right now, I am following a post graduation education to qualify for my own therapeutic license which involves working with people in psychiatric crises. All these experiences have shaped me to work independently, respectfully and to communicate in a person centered fashion.
