SpainWhat I'm looking for
I am a motivated, flexible, and conscientious individual who thrives both in team settings and when working independently. With extensive experience in administrative roles, I excel in managing tasks efficiently while maintaining a high standard of work. My ability to communicate effectively with diverse individuals, whether face-to-face, over the phone, or through video calls, has been a key asset in my professional journey.
In my most recent role as an Administrative Assistant for My Family Au Pair, I successfully managed various tasks remotely, including recruiting candidates and ensuring their profiles were complete. My previous experience as an English Teacher and running my own children's bookshop has further honed my organizational and customer service skills. I am passionate about continuous learning and development, and I aim to leverage my skills in a dynamic work environment.
