  • More details about your skills

    Both of us have worked in the catering industry for many years.

    Ilse is very structured and handy. She has some experience in gardening as well. She is creative and good at painting. She also has experience in hosting jobs.

    Besides catering, I have experience in working with different cultural groups, have worked at a political party, and I am enthusiastic about doing adventurous activities together. I have endured five months of special forces selection at the Dutch army, which has given me more abstract skills such as problem solving, discipline and team playing.

    Furthermore, we both are very enthusiastic and good workers. In general we can learn many new things relatively quickly!
