Description

Hello,
I am graduating as a child nurse in November but first I want to take some time to experience the world around me and learn new skills. I am also applying for a TEFL course so that I can teach English.
I love working with animals and children and it makes me happy to finish my day knowing that I have achieved something that I enjoy.
Reading also brings me happiness, as well as baking and learning new skills.
I am also motivated to learn Arabic as it is my family's first language, and I would love to be able to talk to them in it.

More details about my language interests
I am interested in teaching English. I am enrolled in a TEFL course so will be able to teach in a professional manner. However, I have experience working in a school and so will be able to teach English to primary aged students.

More details about your skills

For my year 10 work experience with school, I volunteered at the local vets for two weeks. I only did menial work, but it was good experience for me, for example: walking the dogs, cleaning the cages for all animals, feeding the animals and helping hold animals down for injections, blood tests, bandaging and nail clipping.
When I was doing my A-levels (age 16-18) I volunteered at the local primary school (where my mum works) with our families therapy dog, to help encourage children to develop their reading skills. I would either take a child individually to read, or in groups, depending on my opinions of their reading level, as I find some children often encourage the others. I would often also work in this school library and classes as a TA.
I have also joined a TEFL qualification so that I will be able to teach English in a more professional capacity.
I am dedicated, hard-working and flexible (but not the yoga type!) and love to help others when I can. I am friendly and social and used to interacting with people from around the world as we host international students at my home, which my family have done since I was little.
I have a degree in child nursing, a black belt in martial arts and have an enhanced DBS certificate.

What else ...

I used to crochet dog blankets for the animal shelter and homeless as well as thick winter gloves, which were sent to refugee camps, raising over £400 in the process. The proceeds went to a special needs school in Croatia I volunteered at during my time at Uni. I also raised over £800 for animal shelters through bake sales during my time at school and over £700 for Princess Trust, a cancer charity.
I have a Bronze and Silver DofE award and am hoping to get a Gold award before I am 25.
I have worked three years in the student union at my Uni as a supervisor for the bar, kitchen and shop. I have learnt all about food management and hygiene and I have a first aid certificate and BLS certificate.
I also enjoy board game and card games as I find them a good way to socialize.
