Description
My name is Sonja and I'm 48 years old. My professional experiences are:
Childcare:
I am a passionate educator and have worked in various countries in Africa where I demonstrated love and dedication for the care and education of children. With creative learning methods and an empathetic approach I have enriched the lives of many children.
Animal welfare and care:
As an animal lover and conservationist, I have been actively involved in the protection and care of Africa's typical animals. From working in sanctuaries in Malawi and Namibia to caring for endangered species I have made a small contribution to the conservation of African wildlife.
Other experience:
Housesitting: As an experienced housesitter, I have taken responsibility for houses and properties while the owners were away. (In South Africa and in Namibia) With an eye for detail and a sense of security, I ensured that homes were well cared for and protected during their absence.
Physical labor:
I have also performed physical labor, whether building shelters, tending gardens, or assisting local communities with agricultural activities. Through this commitment, I have helped to promote sustainable developments in various countries of Africa such as Kenya and Malawi. -
