It's wonderful to meet you! I would love the opportunity to tell you a little bit about myself. Whether I’m traveling, camping, whipping up something in the kitchen, or planning a big event, I say "give it all you've got". I grew up in Bradenton and have lived and worked in many places. For the last four years, up until this summer, I was a full-time live-in nanny caring for four children, ages 18 months to 11 years old. Between raising tiny humans, driving, planning, organizing, and thinking outside the box, I also somehow found time to house sit, grocery shop for others, and even help friends with interior design. Professionally, I am a graphic designer. This career ultimately led me to Hawaii, where I did promotions and publications for a nonprofit organization. While living in Hawaii, I was offered the opportunity to study hospitality through a university program, and Read more I fell in love with it. In 2018, I was offered a spot in the School of Event Management. This training school is being taught in Switzerland. I eagerly took the opportunity. During my training in event management, and the year following i found myself splitting my time between hospitality, event management, overseeing the kitchen at the University and serving as the personal assistant to the director of our global university. I have done many things and traveled to many places in my life. I love cooking, baking, being creative, shopping, and outdoor adventuring. I also have a new hobby—I’m currently renovating a 1980s condo in West Bradenton. From flooring and tiling to building, I’m learning as I go. I’ve always been a jack-of-all-trades, and if I don’t know how to do something, I’m going to figure it out and we'll just do it scared. In my next work contract, I am looking for a position that leverages my diverse skills and experiences. Whether I find myself in a nanny position, as a personal assistant, or as a travel caretaker, I am excited to see what is next. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit about me. I look forward to hearing from you and learning more about yourself and this position. Best regards,
