Description

Hi, I am Veronika, 25 years old, a person with lots of energy quite cummunicative and very much into sports and nature (especially mountains).

In the past I was working in a special day care, (where me and my team organized the vacation time of a group of adolescents and children with disabilities), as a babysitter, a teacher in different settings and as a personal assistant for people with disabilities. Right now I am a youthworker in a teenagecenter for kids and young adults from difficult social backgrounds but I am going to quit in April and heading off to Uganda for a gap year.
I always enjoyed these works especially the contact with different persons, particularly with children and teenagers.
My varied professional experience in the educational field enables me to get in touch with different people. Moreover, I enjoy creativity, various kinds of sports (especially outdoors) and making music which helps me to share equal interests with others.
I am a German, English, and a little bit of French speaking person with lots of energy, who cannot wait to finally start travelling and working abroad again.

More details about your skills

I am obsessed with a lot of kinds of sports. Also I love doing arts and creative stuff as well as music (singing, playing guitar and piano, although have not been practising for a long time ^^) I am a good listener due to my former working place in a youth center, where I was doing social work with kids and teenagers. Also I have a Bachelor in Primary school education which means basic education in all subjects as well as inclusive education. During my studies I had a lot of different small jobs, all in the social sector. (Teaching, Personal Assistence, Physical Education, Special Day Care,...) I love meeting new people and new countries and have been travelling a lot in europe but also other countries like Bolovia, Peru or Vietnam. I love adventours, am very interested in getting to know other cultures and am a big fan of simple lifestyle travelling. (Camping, Bikepacking, ...) I am not a picky person and able to deal with various situations.
