More details about your skills
Having done a couple workaways in hostels, lodges, and hotels I am experienced working reception, helping tourists and cleaning. Due to my year long internship as a vet assistant, I have experience handling animals and talking to clients as I often worked at the reception. I have learned to stay calm and welcoming no matter what the situation may be with clients. General maintenance at the veterinary hospital also included cleaning, folding laundry, disinfecting surfaces...
I have experience teaching languages through tutoring and would love to participate in language exchanges or even teach languages in the community.
I have a lot of experience as a babysitter and entertaining kids.
I love cooking and will gladly help in the kitchen or share recipes. Having worked in restaurants I can also work as a waitress.
Painting and drawing are one of my passions and I would be so excited to participate in any art projects or even start new ones during my stay!Languages
