Hello everyone! I am Iva, from Switzerland.
I am an enthusiastic, open-minded and curious young woman who, after many years of school, is now open and motivated to get to know new people, cultures and languages.
It makes me happy to be with people who inspire me. I enjoy doing things together, such as being creative, singing, dancing, cooking, playing games and doing sports. Animals are also a big love of mine and I like working with them. I also enjoy being in nature and would like to learn more about plants and different organic farming methods. Improving my language skills is another goal of mine.
I have experience working as an aupair/housekeeper. I like to take care of children of all ages. I am really good at cleaning and tidying up. In addition, I love to cook. A fresh and environmentally conscious diet is very important to me.
I have also worked on an animal rescue farm in Ireland for a month. On an organic farm, I had an insight into vegetable and fruit growing. I also gained experience at a language and sport camp in Switzerland and lived for a month in a community experimenting with alternative and environmentally friendly ways of living.
I am always interested in learning new skills, developing myself and willing to help.
I look forward making many unforgettable experiences.Languages

For 10 years I was involved in a children's dance theatre, where I was able to live out my joy of singing, dancing and making music together with other children and young people.
I love being out in nature with my neighbour's dog. I also do other sports such as cycling, fitness and vertical aerials.
I enjoy cooking and preparing delicious, fresh meals for my guests.
I am conscientious and reliable. I do my work carefully and cleanly.
