Description

Hi there!

My name is Elena and I am a 24 years old vet student from Switzerland.
I love being out in nature and around animals and I enjoy living the simple life.
I also like doing yoga, reading a good book and playing board or card games.

I am looking forward to meeting new people and learning about different cultures.

More details about your skills

I am experienced in taking care of animals: I grew up with cats, rabbits and guineapigs and am currently living with a dog. I have been horseback riding for almost 14 years now, so I am familiar around horses aswell. My experience with farm animals is limited, however I have been working on an alp with dairy cows and pigs for a good two weeks in summer 2023.

Besides my studies I am working weekends in a small animal clinic where I basically do the work of a veterinary nurse. Before doing that, I used to work weekends as a waitress.

After high-school I did an internship in a children's home for a year, where I learned a lot about teaching, taking care of and communicating with children.

I also like cooking and gardening and always love to learn about new skills. I am rather stress resistant, a quick learner and very motivated to do something out of my comfort zone. Despite being rather easy-going on most things I'm taking any chores assigned to me very seriously and am well aware of the responsibility that comes along with any chores concerning animals.

Age

24

What else ...

I'm usually a cheerful being with a lot of positive energy that loves to joke around and laugh a lot once I'm comfortable around people.

And last but not least: I'll happily teach you about swiss card games if you can gather three more people who would like to join ;)

  Special dietary requirements
  I am vegetarian, but I'm super uncomplicated with that and don't require people to cook special meals for me (I'm totally fine if I can just leave out the meat).
