Description
I’m a single mother of two wonderful young men, and for the first time in many years I now have the opportunity to travel on my own again and experience new adventures.
I’m reliable, responsible, active, strong and health-conscious. I enjoy sports, staying fit and spending active time in nature. I also love being around children, meeting new people, and discovering different ways of life. New experiences and challenges motivate me and bring me happiness. -

More details about your skills
I speak and write German almost flawlessly, and I speak English and French well, although my French is a bit rusty by now. I have also been learning Spanish for the past year.
I supported a boy with disabilities at a special education school for two years, and I have been babysitting two children, now aged 11 and 8, once a week for the past six years. When my own children were still too shy to go to a holiday camp on their own, I joined as a supervisor and later became the leader of the group.
I also love animals and plants/ farming, don’t mind to get my hands dirty, work quickly and conscientiously, and I’m easy-going, cheerful, and very excited about taking new challenges! -
