Description
Hello,
My name is Sam and I'm 25 years old. I grew up in the South of France with my Dutch parents, sisters and brother. My parents have a goat farm where they sell their home made cheese on the market. When I was 18 I decided to do an au pair year in the Netherlands, after that I stayed in the Netherlands where i did my nursing studies. I still live there and am working as a psychiatric nurse.
I've been working for 1,5 year but I am taking a 4 month sabbatical from work in October 2026 till January 2027, to discover a few countries in South America and work on different project. -

More details about your skills
As I grew up on a goat farm I often helped my parents, like milking and feeding the goats and selling cheese on the market.
As I did an au pair year I took care of 3 children, I still have good contact with my host family and I still take care of the children from time to time.
During my studies I went to Uganda for 3 months where I did community work, like giving lessons to a school, and making oven and kitchens from mud and wood.
I'm actually open to work on all kinds of project. I'm very keen on learning new skills. -
