Descrição

Hello dear world 😊
My name is Jens, I’m 25 years old, full of energy, joy for life, and a deep passion for discovering new countries, cultures, families, and meaningful projects. I come from Germany and currently work full-time as a therapist for children and adolescents with autism – a fulfilling yet demanding job that I’m truly passionate about. Many of the children I work with also have additional disabilities, behavioral challenges, or ADHD.

Originally, I trained and worked for five years as a veterinary assistant. During that time, I also spent nearly two years managing a large Maine Coon cattery with over 70 cats. I was fully responsible for their medical care, hygiene, enrichment, and well-being – across 1,500 square meters of space! While I eventually had to move on due to the workload being too much for one person, the experience was amazing.

Later on, I worked in landscaping and gardening for two years – a beautiful field where I learned a lot and developed myself further. However, I felt that the long-term growth potential wasn’t right for me.

Now, I’m very happy working as a therapist and have been supporting children and their families with great dedication for the past 1.5 years. I also recently became the cooperation lead for an autism practice in Baghdad, where I collaborate in English with our local team to maintain high standards of therapy and foster mutual learning.

In addition to my job, I’m studying special needs education (B.A.) through distance learning – so life is busy, but I love it that way! I’m hardworking, adaptable, and open to all kinds of tasks. Now, I’m excited to gain new experiences through Workaway, make friends around the globe, and support meaningful initiatives.

I’m open to all sorts of opportunities, but I’m especially interested in:

Adventures

Child and/or animal care

Housesitting

Real, authentic family life

Social or animal-focused projects (e.g. NGOs or rescue work)


I’m available for stays of 1–3 weeks at a time, and if we get along well, I’d be happy to come again in the future.

What’s important to me: open, honest, and direct communication. I love having fun, trying new things, and also enjoy relaxed, peaceful moments.

Languages:
🇩🇪 German – fluent
🇬🇧 English – nearly fluent (I sometimes miss a word here and there, but communication flows well)

I’ve held a driver’s license since 2018 (accident-free)

I would love to meet you in a video call if you're interested in getting to know me better!

Availability:
From late August to October/November for 1–3 weeks at a time (vacation days are flexible)

Looking forward to sharing great experiences and meeting wonderful people! 😊

Quais são suas habilidades?

I have many different skills and interests, but I’m also very adaptable. I love working and experiencing new adventures 😊
What I’m especially good at and have a lot of experience with is animal care of all kinds (I’m a certified veterinary assistant). I’m also very comfortable with all kinds of house care, including cleaning.

I have a strong background in working with children, teenagers, and their families – including those with disabilities or challenging behaviors, but of course also with typically developing kids.
Additionally, I have experience in gardening and landscaping.

My main goal is simply to have a great time together – I’m happy to work hard, gain and share experiences, enjoy meaningful moments, and of course make new connections and friends all around this beautiful world 😊
