Description
Hey there! I'm Elvira, an enthusiastic, social and curious person. I love meeting new people, because I really like to learn about the world and how different people think and live. I've always travelled a lot, but my true interest for other cultures begun when I did an exhange year as a teenager. That started my curiosity for how different people live and my interest in living in other countries. It's like trying different lifestyles.
I'm very social and most of my previous occupations have included working with other people. I've previously worked...
- At a daycare (ages 1-5
- As a language teacher (all ages)
- As a swimming instructor (ages 3 months-10 years)
When it comes to volunteering I have...
- Worked at children's youth camps
- Worked at choir camps
- Worked at a farm
- Worked at a soup kitchen
- Worked at a cat shelter
I'll tell you a bit about my hobbies: I'm really into cooking and baking, specially baking bread. I love to cook foods from different cultures so I'm always happy to learn new recipies! I also enjoy outdoor activities: hiking, skiing, running and swimming. I also enjoy creative hobbies such as chaligraphy, writing and embroidery. I used to do penpalling, a hobby I really loved. I also love acting and have been doing it since I was a child.

More details about your skills
🌱 Group management: I've volonteered as a leader on children's summer camps for 6 years. That experience has taught me leadership, group management, teamwork, how to take indepentent initiatives and building one and one connections. I always notice each person in the group as an individual, not just the group as a whole.
🌱 Cooking and baking: I enjoy cooking and baking. I cook a lot of vegetarian dishes, stir fries, stews, sauces etc. I also bake different types of bread such as flatbread, yeastbread, loafs, scones, quick bread etc.
🌱 Animal care: I have experience with horses as I used to do horseback riding. Such as grooming, cleaning, and feeding. I also used to volonteer at a cat shelter for rescue cats, where I did feeding and general care. I've also worked at a dog shelter were I helped taking the dogs for walks, training/playing outdoors and feeding.
🌱 Sewing, embroidery and knitting: I have previously made my own clothes and knitted blankets and gloves.
🌱 Teaching & Babysitting: I've worked as a swimming instructor for 1 year, as a preschool teacher for 6 months and language tutor for 4 years.
🌱 General cleaning: I've worked as a cleaner where we cleaned floors, prepared afternoon coffee, vaccumed etc.
