Description

Gegroet!

Welcome to my profile! My name is Chantal van Dijk, 25 years old and currently living in the Netherlands. I am a motivated ambivert that likes helping out where ever I can. I love reading, spending time outside in the woods or any place for that matter and cooking is also a hobby of mine.

I have a degree in (exotic) animal care-taking and I have had the opportunity to specialise in venomous reptiles, amphibians and arachnids. Next to that I am also an English teacher graduated and all, I have experience in teaching 12 to 60 year olds on all types of fields relating back to English as a base.

More details about your skills

I have a degree in managing animal welfare and certificates in handling any type of mammal or reptile. In a course of four years I have worked with several companies that house different sorts of animals or do animal related business.

I always enjoyed working with animals but I realized that I am a social person and love to work with ''humans'' too therefore I quit and started studying to become a teacher of the English language.

Skills of mine include that I am a good listener, a go getter, patient, responsible and self aware.

Age

26

What else ...

I love spending time with my gran, she is originally from England and has told me so much about the countryside, culture and etiquette already. We play board games together, drink tea and I help out around the house.

I am quite a simple person, I can spend hours without looking at my phone and would much rather spend some time in a nice place with a good book!
