  • Description

    Some of my passions in life are pediatric nursing, traveling, and enjoying nature. I’ve always had a strong desire to help others. Helping people and making them happy, brings me joy. I especially love caring for children, they will always have a special place in my heart (along with animals). One of my favorite things in the world is traveling. I love exploring new places, meeting new people, and learning/trying new things. I have met some incredible humans on my journeys and look forward to meeting and learning from more. :) Nature is my happy place. I really enjoy hiking and camping in the mountains, music and laughter around a campfire, the beauty of sunrise/sunset and bright stars on a peaceful, clear night. I love the beach as well. I am an active and adventurous person. I like sports and playing games. Yoga has changed my life in a beautiful way. I’m looking forward to my first workaway experience. I’m excited to spread kindness, love, and joy while learning some new things and exploring this beautiful world!

  • More details about your skills

    I have been a pediatric nurse for 10 years. This job requires many skills. I am compassionate and hardworking. I am calm and composed during intense situations. I am a great multitasker, critical thinker, and problem solver. I am kind, friendly, helpful, and honest. I like working with people and get along well with others. I love children and caring for them. I am very knowledgable about how to take care of children and teach/communicate/play with kids. Nurses are also teachers, we are constantly educating our patients and their families.

    Before becoming a nurse and while studying for my nursing degree, I worked in many restaurants as a waitress and/or hostess.

    My first volunteering experience was in 2022 at a hostel on Korčula Island in Croatia. I welcomed guests, worked reception, cleaned the hostel, did laundry, and cooked and prepared meals for the other volunteers/staff. When the season slowed down I helped with other tasks to help fix up/freshen up the hostel for the next season. I sandpapered and spray painted gates and window shutters, pressure washed the deck and outside areas. I also painted the exterior and interior of the hostel. At this time I also worked some evenings as a waitress at Konoba Nona restaurante nearby the hostel. It was an incredible experience.

    I worked with/assisted a private chef for a family in Spain for the summer of 2023. I helped him prepare meals for the family. I also cleaned the house and helped care for the children. I helped teach the children English, while they helped me learn Spanish.

  • What else ...

    In recent years I have become very interested in the eco farm/permaculture lifestyle. It is a dream of mine to have my own piece of land and practice a self-sustaining lifestyle. I would love the opportunity to work with and learn from people who are living this way. Van life also has my interest. And I want to learn to surf! :)
