Description
I’m a big fan of plants, animals, and nature. I grew up in a small village in Germany and enjoy spending time in our garden, where we grow some of our own vegetables and herbs. Gardening is more of a hobby for me than regular work, but I really enjoy it. Before I fully settle into my regular working life, I’d like to see more of the world, meet new people, and learn new things.
In my free time, I like doing small craft projects, baking, and taking care of my houseplants. I also like climbing and I want to take my lead climbing course soon. Since I want to help my family with some of the work, I took a chainsaw course last year and now know the basics. -

More details about your skills
I have experience working in gastronomy as a waitress and currently spend a lot of time working on the computer in my regular job, so I’m familiar with Microsoft Office and general office tasks.
I’m not a professional handyman, but I can handle basic repairs and build things like an IKEA shelf without problems.
At home, we have our own garden where we grow some vegetables and herbs, so I already have some basic gardening experience. I also have simple cooking skills, and since I enjoy doing crafts and small creative projects, I’m comfortable using a brush or doing light painting work.
I speak German and English fluently and know a bit of Spanish, although I haven’t practiced it much in recent years. I don’t have much experience with animals yet, whether farm or domestic, but I’m very interested in learning and happy to help wherever I can. -

You quickly feel part of their daily life and especially with three young kids, there’s always something going on :D
At the same time, you still have your own space with a separate little cabin.
