Description

I have just finished my A levels and am taking a gap year! Solo travelling scares me a little as I have never been away from home for a long period of time, and I am the type of person that needs a purpose. I love animals and children, as well as asking lots of questions. I am terrible at learning card games but happy to be taught. I love seeing new things, even though I am a creature of habit. I am an ambivert - so I love new people and being busy but also very much appreciate my own space. My main passion is Sociology, one of the reasons I am excited to speak and interact with different people, and when I'm comfortable around I am very chatty. The last year I have dedicated my life to field hockey, so it is not really a hobby for me anymore, so I'm trying to find more purpose and enjoyment past that. I love a good laugh, the ocean (water in general), I am not a big fan of spiders but can cope, and am really excited to see where this year will take me.

More details about your skills

I am 18, fit and healthy, and I love animals and children - I have a years experience nannying a 4 year old with severe ADHD, used to be a swim teacher, have a little brother who is 6 years younger than me and have coached 5-15 years olds in field hockey for 4 years - I thrive on a little bit of chaos within good organisation. I have been a waitress for 2 years, as well as regular chores in my own home so I'm more than happy to clean and tidy. I am less experienced with outdoor work except painting but I am motivated and quick learner - I physically can't do a half hearted job!! I'm down with pretty much anything, and I am a visual learner so please demonstrate for me. I am particularly wanting to work with horses as that is something I have always wanted to do but have never had the money for. Ideally I'd love to be near a city to go to on my days off, but I'm also fine in the oasis of nature. I'd love some experiences with animals, and places with lots of sights to see, as well as swimming and surfing.

What else ...
