More details about your skills

experience and skills

GARDENING:
When i was younger i would trim the plants in my garden, clean overgrown bushes up, cut the grass, take out the weeds etc. I used to also do the same for some other peoples gardens, in return for some money. Whilst i do have a good amount of experience and am confident in my skill (mostly in the dirty work such as weeding) anything detailed and intricate such as garden art and design work, i have never really learned properly, i am however open to learn such things, i find gardening to be a verb relaxing and enjoyable thing to do.

TEACHING:
One of the part time jobs i am currently working is caring for disabled children ages ranging from 6-13, the job consists of playing with them, helping them study and teaching them english whenever i can. because of this part time job i have experience playing and caring for young kids.

COOKING:
Another skill i have is i can cook. I am not insanely skilled but i can and have experience in doing so, i would often cook myself and my mother dinner back when i lived in england, things like grilled chicken and rice, alot of pasta, fried rice etc. Nothing crazy but just the basics. I enjoy cooking and would love to learn more recipes as i still consider my knowledge and experience to be very limited, i would also love to teach some recipes i know to anyone that has interest.

LANGUAGES:
I can speak English at a natie level, my Japanese is at a conversationally fluent level and my italian is honestly quite terrible but its there somewhat haha.

HOSPITALITY:
I have experience working in an izakaya, i picked up skills in waitering and customer service through this job. I can take orders, make a wide assortment of drinks, wash dishes, help in the kitchen etc.

FARM EXPERIENCE:
I worked for almost two months on a berry farm, i dealt with chickens and ducks and learnt to use a variety of different tools. I gained alot of experience from doing a lot of odd jobs here.

BABY SITTING:
I also have experience in babysitting a 2 years old child, a little over a year ago i would take care of my mums friends child when she wasnt able to, we played together, i read him bedtime stories, put him to bed, changed his nappies and made him food. As i only did this a few times and it was over a year ago i dont have the confidence to say i can do all of those things again however as i have learnt once before i am confident i can do so again.

(ENGLISH) WRITING:
Lastly i have experience and skill in writing, i chose the subject of history for one of my 3 A levels (an exam studied for by students between the ages of 16-18 in the UK) . History involved alot of researching, memorising as well as a lot of essay writing. This naturally gave me experience in the writing field, as well as honing the skill itself. the second A level subject i studied was Psychology, another hard subject which also involved alot of memorising, researching and writing. The last A level subject i chose was business, Business is something i have an interest in as i would love to start my own one day. From this subject of course i learnt business terminology, structures of different business' etc.

Age

20

What else ...

i love freestyle rap, thats too much fun even if im bad at it. I like video games even though i dont really play them anymore. Drawing too. Hiking and exploring nature is also another thing i have always loved to do.
I love animals, especially cats as i have one back home in england. I watch anime sometimes and i do have quite an interest in martial arts though i dont really practice it.
