A young and passionate gap year student, who's looking for a job in a friendly, loving family
| I'm a 18 year old student, currently on my gap year. I have worked for a year as an after school teaching assistant at St.Mathew's school in Cambridge and absolutely loved it. I enjoy helping children develop their independent learning skills, as well playing and making a safe and happy environment for them. Furthermore, I have also volunteered for a year at a Riding for disabled association, where I bought children with disabilities how to ride horses. I am very passionate about making a difference in peoples' lives and one of the most incomparably rewarding experiences was when a young girl, who couldn't move her lower body, told me that riding a horse made her feel like flying. I have just completed my A Level studies, so have the knowledge to help children with their homework. Additionally, I am also fluent in Russian and have a good knowledge of German.
