aupair in leesburg, virginia. usa
From May 2018 to 2019 I was an Au Pair in America for a family of 6 ( 4 kids from the ages 3,10,13 and 15) I lived with them and helped out with the kids. It was very challenging to live so far away from my family, but it definitely taught me a lot and I had to mature really quickly. It helped to improve my communication and responsibility skills.

2017
Sales representative at Sarie
In the April holiday of 2017 I had a holiday job at Sarie Magazine's KKNK Stall. It was a very busy holiday, as it always is during the KKNK festival. My responsibilities were mainly working at the stall. This included stocktaking, sales, customer service and promotional work during the festival. The clientele were mainly women, but because Sarie Magazine shared a space with other publishing's, I also had to work with other clientele. This specific job helped to improve my people and communication skills. Our hours were quite long and I would often only get home by 8 o'clock in the evenings.
2013-2016
Cake Decorator & Kitchen Assistant @ Three for Tea
In my school holidays, I had a small holiday job at this coffee shop/ bakery. Before and after the coffee shop opened and closed, the owner and baker ordered cake figurines that I created for multiple occasions, including birthdays and holiday-themed cakes. When the coffee shop was still open, I helped the chef and owner to plate dishes and serve customers. These experiences thought me a lot of patience and perfectionism.
