Description

My name is Margot, I’m 19 years old, I live in Lorient in Brittany and I’m in my first year of design school in Nantes. I’ve been playing basketball for 10 years and practising Tahitian dance since I was 7, as well as taking up sewing this year.

I’ve held my BAFA qualification since 2023. I work several times a year at the leisure centres in my local area. I love spending time with children because with them we learn things, we laugh, we have fun, we use our imagination and we share our lives and stories!

I have also been a coach and trainer for a boys’ basketball team aged 7 and 8 for two years.

I love learning, discovering, travelling and understanding this mysterious world. I’m curious and have a taste for adventure; I love journeys that broaden my horizons and meeting new people.
I’ve always loved art: writing, drawing, painting and creating.
I love sport for the team spirit, pushing myself to the limit and the competition!

I’m committed and keen to understand society, the world and the bonds that unite us. Getting involved in my town, my schools and my projects: that’s my way of participating and contributing to society.
I am bold, sincere and wholehearted. I live by a simple philosophy: live life to the full so you have no regrets.

So there you have it, that’s me, Margot. Now you know everything about me well, almost ;)!

More details about your skills

From 2023 to 2025, I was a basketball coach for children aged 6 to 8. This experience helped me develop skills in team management, organization, and communication. I’m used to planning activities, motivating a group, and creating a positive atmosphere. It also taught me patience, adaptability, and a strong sense of responsibility, especially when working with both children and parents.

I also have my BAFA (French youth activity leader qualification) with a lifeguard certification since 2023, which allows me to work in summer camps and leisure centers. There, I gained experience in leading activities, supervising groups, and organizing events (such as a summer fair). I’m comfortable taking initiative and proposing creative and sports activities for all ages.

Thanks to these experiences, I had the opportunity to help supervise a youth trip to Berlin, which strengthened my sense of responsibility and teamwork. I also spent two weeks in India in 2023, living with a host family in Calcutta as part of a school exchange program. This experience, along with my travels in Europe and Thailand with my family, helped me develop my open-mindedness, independence, and ability to adapt to new environments.

At school, I have been helping students with homework for two years, supporting those who need extra help. This allowed me to develop my listening skills, understanding, and teaching abilities.

I also really enjoy cooking: preparing simple, healthy, and balanced meals. I like learning new recipes and sharing these moments with others.

In my free time, I have been practicing ceramics for two years. It helps me develop my creativity, patience, and attention to detail.

Overall, I am someone who is reliable, motivated, positive, and always willing to help.
