More details about your skills

I am good in taking care of people, young and old. That means: I am good at listening to people, at being there when needed, at giving advices about how to cope with certain problems, I know how to take care of young children/babies and how to deal with teenagers and old people. I can give handmassages, I'm used to work with people from different cultures and with specific needs (e.g. autism, deaf people, children from disadvantaged families,...).
As I have been a teacher for several years, I have teaching skills.
The kitchen is one of my favorite places at home and also outside since I assist in cooking classes. I like to prepare healthy food with fresh ingredients.
I love being outside. I maintain our own garden and each tuesday I help in a vegetable garden (planting, weeding, harvesting, ...).
I know how to manage a household (cleaning, washing, cooking, shopping, gardening, painting walls, ...).
