The main reason I want to join as a Workawayer is to improve my French as much as I can before my final year of university, I am more than happy to help with teaching/practicing English as I am a native speaker. I speak Spanish to B2/C1 level, my grammar is quite rusty but again happy to help ! My german is quite good conversationally but I'm not great with reading and writing and with French I am the opposite ! I struggle with some French prounciation and I am really hoping to improve !

I'm interested in:

Babysitting and creative play
General Maintenance

More details about your skills
As my degree is in languages it offers different opportunities for placements abroad and so I worked in Munich for several months as an aupair teaching English where I also helped with cleaning and other household tasks during my first year of university/summer. As part of my student work placement in second year I worked in Lincolnshire (England) at a children's adventure camp where we did activities from ziplining to campfires. I am now in my third year and have just returned from Valencia where I was on my erasmus to better my Spanish as well as working part time as a waitress.
When I am at home in Ireland I work in my local pub/restaurant where i have worked on and off since I was 15 as a hostess, this involves taking bookings over the phone or email, dealing with complaints and making sure everyone that leaves are happy customers ! I have also worked as a babysitter as well as having done work experience in a primary school as a teacher's assistant and so my preference would be to work in hospitality, childcare or teaching English : )

What else ...
I am really easygoing and happy to entertain myself, I love outdoors particularly the beach! I am happy to get stuck in helping with anything that needs to be done and will always give things a try and do my best!
