Descripción
We are a small hostel in Quito looking for volunteers. Most duties are related to the reception work. You would learn the booking system and maintain the reservation list, deal with check- ins and check -outs. This knowledge would give you an advantage for the future volunteering jobs across South America. Some light housekeeping duties are expected. We maintain friendly atmosphere at the hostel and interaction with guests is necessary to do the job properly. Basic understanding of Spanish is OK and you would have an opportunity to improve your language skills. if you want to show off your culinary skills you are welcome, otherwise I do most of the cooking for everyone. Longer stay is preferable. Please respond in English only. Thanks
