Description

Hi! My name is Precious(although I'd prefer being called Yvonne) and I recently finished college and decided to take a gap year. My home place is a small island called Guernsey, where everything is just a walk away. I love exploring the island by foot, taking in the beauty of my surroundings, the fresh air, and nature in general especially during sunrise—my favourite time of day. I enjoy listening to music often accompanies me on these walks.

During my gap year, I'm eager to learn and grow, having already gained valuable experience interning at a local company and working as a Café assistant right by the sea. The café offered stunning views of nearby islands and sunrises, which made early mornings something I look forward to! Often, during the summer we get a lot of cruise ships visiting us hence why I am used to working on a fast-paced environment with the rush of customers coming in which I enjoy.

I sometimes go on fishing trips with my mum and her friends, especially when the weather is perfect. I'm always up for a challenge, whether it's learning something new or tackling a tough task, and I'm more than happy to lend a hand whenever needed. Additionally, I am a well travelled individual, having had the privelege of visiting multiple countries before and would love to continue doing so.

More details about my language interests
Having lived in different places, learning a new language isn't new to me therefore I am very much open to learning a few more. I also do not mind teaching one myself, either Tagalog or English(I can probably do with practising my Spanish language skills too!)

More details about your skills

I have practical experience in hospitality, having worked in a café where I was responsible for tasks like taking orders, customer service, food preparation, and maintaining a welcoming atmosphere. Having this role enhanced my communication skills, attention to detail, and ability to work efficiently in fast-paced environments.

Additionally, I’ve completed an internship at an accounting firm, where I gained exposure to administrative tasks, basic bookkeeping, and data management. This experience enhanced my organizational skills also and gave me insight into business operations.

On the language side, I am fluent in English and Filipino, and have a beginner's level of Spanish. I enjoy language learning and would be happy to help others with English or Filipino, while also learning another language myself.

What else ...

Living on a small island, it is pretty easy to access places; therefore, I enjoy walks a lot and just being out in nature as much as I can. I am also quite interested in photography, taking pictures, be it of landscapes or food.
