Description

Hi,
my name is Flora. I live in a village near Linz in Austria with my Family of 7 people (grandparents, parents, siblings). We have cats and chickens in our garden. Which is the reason why I am familiar with housework and animals. I am on the one hand great with older people but on the other hand connect really well with children. I am already babysitting the kids of my cousin and of friends at the ages of 1 to 8 years.
In my free time I like to swim, play the Tuba and meet friends.
At the moment I am in 7 grade of the BORG Linz (high school) and will make my A levels next year. In this school I learn how to communicate in front of big crowds hold speeches and learned about the theory behind body language,.. .
If I had to describe myself in 2 words, I would choose friendly and quirky.
I love to discover new situations and to meet to people and would love to learn about the culture and people of France.

More details about my language interests
I have been studying French for three years and would like to improve my language skills and apply them in practice, since in school you usually only learn the written language and the oral language is mostly neglected.

More details about your skills

I have experience with childcare as I babysit the children of my cousin (1-3) and often babysit the children of friends (triplets 7). I have a trustworthy effect on children and I get along well with them.

I have been doing performance swimming for years and can therefore swim very well. I can also teach children how to swim because I have often given swimming lessons also in larger groups.

My large family also taught me how to connect with older people. Also because I live together with my grandparents who tought me a lot.

I live in a house with a big garden where my grandparents have been growing vegetables, fruit and flowers since I was a child, and we eat most of our own food, so I have experience with gardening.

I have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was a kid, especially sweets, so I could cook for the family. I'm also used to cooking for larger groups.

My grandfather is an enthusiastic craftsman, from whom I learned the basic craft techniques.

My mother tongue is German and I speak English fluently so I could also give tutoring in these languages.

I am relatively musical and play tuba, I could also play music with the families. I used to play recorder and alto flute and tenor horn.

Age

What else ...

My hobbies are swimming what I do in a club and where I participate in competitions.

I love to play tuba and I am a member of a youth jazz band.

Since I was a kid I love to cook and try out new flavor combinations, also with shrill colors and crazy flavor combinations.

I am a very communicative person and like to be among people. I also like to present or recite something in front of people. My last holiday job was as a presenter at an Austrian radio station (FM4).
I love playing card games with my family in the evenings and exchanging them throughout the day.
