More details about your skills

I have worked in hotels and as a waitress, so I am fine with cleaning (rooms, toilets, kitchen), serving food and hospitality in general. I also worked as a customer service agent so I am customer focused. I handled cases over the phone, by emails and chat.
I can also do general administration, I worked for a new swimming company in London and i did whatever task needed doing.
I am not fussy in general, i like to pull my weight and make things work, by doing something well.
I am a ESL teacher so I can teach English as a second language.
I have used hostels mainly for my travels, and lived in one for 2 months in Lisbon Portugal, so I am very comfortable in this space.
