Description

Hello everyone,
My name is Emilie, I’m a 28-year-old woman from Normandy, France. I’m a psychologist and I work with children and teenagers who live in residential care and have experienced difficult life situations.
In my personal life, I absolutely love animals. I volunteer for a cat rescue association: I foster cats at home, including stray cats that need care, and help them find a loving forever home. I grew up in the countryside, I love being outdoors, and I’m used to working in the garden and taking care of plants.
I’m also very sporty and love staying active. I enjoy running and CrossFit, and I’d love to start boxing. I also did horse riding for 15 years. Finally, I enjoy creative and hands-on activities. I do pottery with my mother, who has her own pottery workshop.
I have travelled to Norway twice through Workaway, in two different years. The first time, I worked on a farm, and the second time, I helped renovate a boat and also did some babysitting. I absolutely loved these experiences, and they made me want to discover new places, meet new people, and have more adventures.
As for my English, I understand it quite well, but I mostly speak using basic English. I can communicate and make myself understood, even if I’m not fluent yet.
I’m really looking forward to meeting you and creating a new adventure together! 😊

More details about your skills

My work has given me a range of skills. I know how to help children and young people in difficulty by supporting them in their daily lives or by running workshops.
I have a basic knowledge of gardening thanks to my parents, as I grew up in the countryside with a large garden. I love getting my hands dirty and working outdoors.
I love animals more than anything and I know how to take care of them. I've been riding for over 10 years and worked every summer in the riding school next door. I have a good level of riding despite the years without. I'm also a volunteer in an association, I welcome stray cats into my home and look after them.
Lastly, I'm sporty and enjoy manual activities such as painting and pottery.

What else ...

I think I said a lot in my presentation. I want to be honest and tell you that my level of English is average. I understand it well but I don't speak much of it. I want to improve it by travelling.
